گفت چون تابوت موسی بر شتاب
دید فرعونش که میآورد آب

چارصد زیبا کنیزک همچو ماه
ایستاده بود پیش او براه

گفت با آن دلبران دلنواز
هرکه آن تابوتم آرد پیش باز

من ز ملک خویش آزادش کنم
بی غمش گردانم و شادش کنم

چارصد دلبر بیک ره تاختند
خویش را در پیش آب انداختند

گرچه رفتند آن همه یک دلنواز
شد بسبقت پیش آن تابوت باز

برگرفت از آب و در پیشش نهاد
پیش فرعون جفا کیشش نهاد

لاجرم فرعون عزم داد کرد
چارصد مه روی را آزد کرد

سائلی گفتا که ای عهدت درست
گفته بودی هرکه تابوت از نخست

پیشم آرد باز دلشادش کنم
خلعتش در پوشم آزادش کنم

کارچون زان یک کنیزک گشت راست
چارصد را دادن آزادی چراست

گفت اگرچه جمله درنایافتند
نه ببوی یافتن بشتافتند

جمله را چون بود امید یافتن
بر همه باید چو شمعی تافتن

گر یکی زان جمله ماندی ناامید
شب شدی بر چشم او روز سپید

لاجرم گردن گشادم جمله را
خط آزادی بدادم جمله را

آن لعین گر رحمتی در سینه داشت
زان چه مقصودش چو حق را کینه داشت

خلق عالم آشکارا و نهان
جمله خواهانند حق رادر جهان

جمله او را خواستند او مینخواست
تا نخواهد او نیاید کار راست

بادلی پر مهر فرعون لعین
خواست از جان قرب رب العالمین

لیک چون حق مینخواست او را چه سود
کانچه بودش آرزو او را نبود

کار از پیشان اگر بگشایدت
هر دمی صد گونه در بگشایدت

English translation

He said: When the ark of Moses came in haste, Pharaoh saw that the water was bringing it. Four hundred beautiful slave-girls, like the moon, Were standing on the path before him. He said to those heart-soothing beauties: 'Whoever brings that ark back to me, I will free her from my ownership, I will rid her of sorrow and make her joyful.' Four hundred beauties rushed at once, They threw themselves into the water. Although they all went, one heart-soothing girl Preceded them and reached the ark first. She took it from the water and laid it before him, Laid it before the cruel-hearted Pharaoh. Inevitably, Pharaoh decided to do justice, He freed all four hundred moon-faced girls. A questioner asked: 'O you whose promise is true! You had said that whoever brings the ark first Back to me, I will make her joyful, I will clothe her in a robe of honor and free her. Since the deed was accomplished by only one slave-girl, Why grant freedom to all four hundred?' He replied: 'Although they did not all obtain it, Did they not hasten in the hope of finding it? Since they all possessed the hope of finding it, I must shine upon them all like a candle. If one of them had remained hopeless, The bright day would turn into night in her eyes. Consequently, I freed the necks of them all, I bestowed the decree of freedom upon them all.' Even if that accursed one held mercy in his chest, What did it avail him when he held enmity toward the Truth? The creatures of the world, both apparent and hidden, Are all seekers of the Truth in the world. They all desired Him; He did not desire him. Until He desires it, the matter will not turn out right. With a heart full of affection, the accursed Pharaoh Earnestly sought proximity to the Lord of the Worlds; But since the Truth did not desire him, what was the use? For that which was his wish was not granted to him. If the affair is opened for you from the forefront, Every moment a hundred kinds of doors will open for you.
