بخش ۷ - عادل که از حرف عین چشم عالمی بر وی است و از دال و لام دل جهانیش در پی آن به که در همه چشم ها خود را نغز نماید و به همه دل ها نیکو درآید در نغز کاری پیشوایی باشد و در نیکوکرداری راهنمایی / Section 7 - The just ruler, who from the letter 'Ayn' has the eye of the world upon him, and from 'Dal' and 'Lam' has the heart of the world following him, had better appear exquisite in all eyes and enter beautifully into all hearts, being a leader in exquisite deeds and a guide in good-doing

Original content

اهل عالم نه پیرو خردند
بلکه بر دین پادشاه خودند

همه آیین شاه خود گیرند
همه بر دین شاه خود میرند

ای مباهی به دولت شاهی
وز قوانین مملکت آگاهی

روی در قبله نجات آور
پی به سر چشمه حیات آور

آنچنان زی که زیستن شاید
هر که آنسان زید بیاساید

مپسند آنچه شرع نپسندد
مگشای آن دری که او بندد

هر چه جز شرع و دین به هم بر زن
دست در دامن پیمبر زن

راست است او خوش آنکه راست شوی
وآوری رو به راه راستروی

همچو او شاه راستان گردی
در همین شیوه داستان گردی

کجروان روی در ره تو نهند
وز کجی همچو راستان برهند

English translation

The people of the world do not follow intellect, But rather adhere to the religion of their king. They all adopt the customs of their king, They all die upon the religion of their king. O you who boast of royal sovereignty, And are aware of the laws of the realm, Turn your face toward the Qiblah of salvation, Find your way to the fountainhead of life. Live in such a way that is worthy of living, Whoever lives thus shall find peace. Do not approve what the Sharia disapproves, Do not open that door which it closes. Overthrow whatever is other than Sharia and religion, Cling to the hem of the Prophet's robe. He is righteous; happy is the one who becomes righteous, And turns toward the path of righteousness. Like him, you will become the king of the righteous, And become legendary in this very manner. Crooked-goers will turn toward your path, And like the righteous, be delivered from crookedness.
