مار افسایی یکی حربه بدست
کرده بد بر مار سوراخی نشست

هر زمان میساخت معجونی دگر
هر نفس میخواند افسونی دگر

ناگهی عیسی برانجا درگذشت
مار آمد پیش او در سر گذشت

گفت ای روح الله ای شمع انام
هست سیصد سال عمر من تمام

مرد سی ساله مرا افسون کند
تا زسوراخم مگر بیرون کند

رفت عیسی عاقبت زانجایگاه
چون دگر باره فرود آمد براه

مرد را گفتا چه کردی کار را
گفت اندر سله کردم مار را

شد سر آن سله عیسی برگرفت
چون بدید او را سخن از سرگرفت

گفت ای مار از چه طاعت داشتی
خاصه چندانی شجاعت داشتی

آن همه دعوی که کردی از نخست
از چه افتادی چنین در دام سست

گفت من نفریفتم ز افسون او
میتوانستم که ریزم خون او

لیک چون بسیار حق را نام برد
نام حق خوش خوش مرا در دام برد

چون بنام حق شدم در دام او
صد چو جان من فدای نام او

وصل همچون آتشی جان سوزدت
یاد باید تا جهان افروزدت

English translation

A snake-charmer, a weapon in hand, Had sat down by a snake's hole. Every moment he prepared a different potion, Every breath he recited a different incantation. Suddenly, Jesus passed by that place; The snake came to him and recounted its tale. It said, 'O Spirit of God, O candle of mankind, My life is a full three hundred years; A thirty-year-old man is charming me To see if he can draw me out of my hole.' Eventually, Jesus departed from that place; When he once again returned by that road, He said to the man, 'What did you do with the task?' He said, 'I have put the snake in the basket.' Jesus went and lifted the lid of that basket; When he saw it, he resumed the conversation. He said, 'O snake, why did you obey? Especially since you possessed such bravery? All those claims you made at first— Why did you fall so weakly into the trap?' It replied, 'I was not deceived by his incantation; I could have easily shed his blood. But because he invoked the name of Truth so much, The name of Truth sweetly drew me into the trap. Since I entered his trap by the name of Truth, May a hundred lives like mine be sacrificed for His name! Union will burn your soul like fire; Remembrance is needed to illuminate your world.'
