بخش ۴ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 4 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

ابن ادهم چون ادا کردی نماز
دست بنهادی به روی خویش باز

روی گفتی من بپوشم از خطر
تاب رویم باز نتوان زد مگر

زآنکه میدانم که دست بی نیاز
باز خواهد زد به روی من نماز

English translation

When Ibn Adham performed his prayer, He would place his hands over his face. He would say, 'I cover my face out of fear, So that it might not be thrown back at my face, perhaps; For I know that the Hand of the Independent One, Will throw my prayer back into my face.'
