Original content

آن یکی پرسید از عباسه باز
گفت ای نطقت کلید گنج راز

نیست کس از سیم داران مونست
می نیاید خواجهٔ در مجلست

گفت کی آید بر من سیم دار
کز منش بر هم نماند کار و بار

سیم داری کو بمجلس آیدم
گر همه چون زر بود مس آیدم

جیب در گردن رسن گردانمش
پیرهن در بر کفن گردانمش

از زفان من بچشم سیم دار
چون لحد گردد سرای زرنگار

عیب او پوشید نتوانم برو
دین او را کفر گردانم برو

این چنین کس کی کند رغبت بمن
کی درست آید چنین نسبت بمن

سوی هر ظالم بود رغبت ترا
کی توان کردن بمن نسبت ترا

درگه ظالم چه جای مؤمن است
هرکه در آتش رود ناایمن است

English translation

Someone asked Abbasah once again, Saying, 'O you whose speech is the key to the treasure of secrets, None of the wealthy are your companions, No rich master comes to your gathering.' He replied, 'How could a wealthy person come to me, For because of me, his affairs would not remain intact. A wealthy man who comes to my gathering, Even if he is like pure gold, he becomes like copper to me. I would turn his collar into a rope around his neck, I would turn his shirt into a burial shroud upon his body. Through my words, in the eyes of the wealthy, The gold-adorned palace becomes like a tomb. I cannot conceal his flaws from him, I would turn his religion into disbelief before him. How could such a person desire my company? How could such an association with me ever be right? Your inclination is towards every oppressor, How can one associate you with me? The court of an oppressor is no place for a true believer, Whoever steps into the fire is never safe.'
