دفتر دوم - بخش ۶۲ - بیدار کردن ابلیس معاویه را کی خیز وقت نمازست / Book Two - Section 62 - Iblis Waking Mu'awiya, Saying, 'Arise, It Is Time for Prayer'

Original content

در خبر آمد که آن معاویه
خفته بد در قصر در یک زاویه

قصر را از اندرون در بسته بود
کز زیارتهای مردم خسته بود

ناگهان مردی ورا بیدار کرد
چشم چون بگشاد پنهان گشت مرد

گفت اندر قصر کس را ره نبود
کیست کین گستاخی و جرات نمود

گرد برگشت و طلب کرد آن زمان
تا بیاید زان نهان گشته نشان

او پس در مدبری را دید کو
در پس پرده نهان می کرد رو

گفت هی تو کیستی نام تو چیست
گفت نامم فاش ابلیس شقیست

گفت بیدارم چرا کردی بجد
راست گو با من مگو بر عکس و ضد

English translation

It is reported in tradition that the maternal uncle of the believers was asleep in the palace, on a bed in the sleeping-place. He had locked the palace from within, because he was tired of people's visits. Suddenly a man woke him; when he opened his eyes, the man disappeared. He said, 'No one had a way into the palace. Who is this who showed such boldness and daring?' He turned around and searched at once, so that he might find some sign of that hidden one. Behind the door he saw a doomed, ill-fated fellow, hiding his face behind the curtain. He said, 'Hey, you, who are you? What is your name?' He said, 'My name, plainly stated, is Iblis the wretched.' He said, 'Why did you wake me so urgently? Tell me the truth; do not speak to me in inversion and contradiction.'
