بخش ۷ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 7 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

کافری پیش خلیل آمد فراز
گفت نانی ده بدین صاحب نیاز

گفت اگر مؤمن شوی وآئی براه
هرچه دل میخواهدت از من بخواه

این سخن کافر چو بشنود از خلیل
درگذشت اوحالی آمد جبرئیل

گفت حق میگوید این کافر مدام
از کجا میخورد تا اکنون طعام

او که چندین گاه نان مییافتست
ازخداوند جهان مییافتست

این زمان کو از درت نان خواه شد
تن زدی تا گرسنه در راه شد

چون توئی دایم خلیل کردگار
باخلیل خویش شو در جود یار

چون تو فارغ از بخیلی آمدی
جود کن چون در خلیلی آمدی

یا رب این انعام و بخشایش نگر
عین آرایش برآلایش نگر

با چنین فضلی ترا در پیشگاه
کی توان ترسید از بیم گناه

زآنکه آن دریا چو در جوش آیدت
نیک و بد جمله فراموش آیدت

English translation

A disbeliever came before Abraham, And said: 'Give a loaf of bread to this needy one.' Abraham said: 'If you become a believer and follow the path, Ask me for whatever your heart desires.' When the disbeliever heard these words from Abraham, He departed; immediately, Gabriel arrived. He said: 'God says: This disbeliever, constantly, Where has he been eating his food from until now? He who has been obtaining bread for all this time, Was obtaining it from the Lord of the world. Now that he has come to your door seeking bread, You withheld it until he went on his way hungry? Since you are always the Friend of the Creator, Align with your Friend in the generosity of the Beloved. Since you are free from stinginess, Show generosity, since you have attained the station of friendship.' O Lord, look at this bounty and forgiveness, Look at the essence of beauty over impurity. With such grace in Your presence, How could one fear the terror of sin? For when that ocean of mercy comes to boil, Both good and bad will be entirely forgotten by You.
