Original content

عیسی مریم بخواب افتاده بود
نیم خشتی زیر سر بنهاده بود

چون گشاد از خواب خوش عیسی نظر
دید ابلیس لعین را بر زبر

گفت ای ملعون چرا استادهٔ
گفت خشتم زیر سر بنهادهٔ

جملهٔ دنیا چو اقطاع منست
هست آن خشت آن من این روشنست

تا تصرف میکنی در ملک من
خویش را آوردهٔ در سلک من

عیسی آن از زیر سر پرتاب کرد
روی را برخاک عزم خواب کرد

چون فکند آن نیم خشت ابلیس گفت
من کنون رفتم تو اکنون خوش بخفت

چون پس خشت لحد خواهی فتاد
خشت بر خشتی چرا خواهی نهاد

چون گل از خونابهٔ دل میکنی
از پی دنیا چرا گل میکنی

English translation

Jesus, son of Mary, had fallen asleep, He had placed half a brick under his head. When Jesus opened his eyes from sweet sleep, He saw the accursed Iblis above him. He said, "O accursed one, why are you standing?" He said, "You have placed my brick under your head. The entire world is like my fiefdom, That brick is mine, this is clear. As long as you take possession in my realm, You have brought yourself into my ranks." Jesus threw it away from under his head, He placed his face on the dust and resolved to sleep. When he threw that half brick, Iblis said, "I am leaving now, you sleep peacefully now. Since you will eventually fall behind the brick of the grave, Why would you lay brick upon brick? Since you make clay from the bloody tears of the heart, Why do you make clay for the sake of the world?"
