Original content

بود دیوانه مزاجی گرسنه
در رهی میرفت سر پا برهنه

نان طلب میکرد از جائی بجای
هرکسی میگفت نان بدهد خدای

اوفتاد از جوع در رنجورئی
دید اندر مسجدی مغفورئی

زود در پیچید و پس بر سر گرفت
قصد بردن کرد و راه درگرفت

عاقبت در راه بگرفتش کسی
زجر کردش پس جفا گفتش بسی

زو ستد آن جامه و کردش سؤال
کاین چرا کردی بگو ای تیره حال

گفت هر جائی که میرفتم دمی
جمله میگفتند حق بدهد همی

چون شدم درمانده بی دستوریش
برگرفتم عاقبت مغفوریش

تا بسازد کار من یکبارگی
چند خواهم بود در بیچارگی

خنده آمد مرد را از کار او
برد نان و جامه را تیمار او

دید آن دیوانه را مردی براه
جامه در پوشید میآمد پگاه

گفت جامه از کجا آوردهٔ
کسب کردی یا عطا آوردهٔ

گفت این جامه خدای آورد راست
گفت هم اقبال و هم دولت تراست

زانکه تادولت نباشد ما حضر
این چنین جامه نبخشد دادگر

مرد مجنون گفت کو یک دولتم
کو نداد این جامه بی صد محنتم

تا که بر نگرفتمش ناگه گرو
نه شکم نان یافت نه تن جامه نو

در نمیگیرد خوشی با او بسی
تا گرو بر مینگیرد زو کسی

بی گرو کار تو کی گیرد نوا
جامه و نان بی گرو ندهد ترا

ور گرو می بر نگیری تن زند
آتشت در جان و در خرمن زند

English translation

There was a hungry madman Walking on a road, barefoot. He sought bread from place to place; Everyone would say, 'God will give bread.' He fell into illness from hunger; He saw a deceased person in a mosque. He quickly wrapped the shroud and put it on his head, He intended to take it and set off on his way. Eventually, someone caught him on the road, Rebuked him and spoke harshly to him a lot. He took that garment from him and asked him, 'Why did you do this? Speak, oh dark-fated one!' He said, 'Everywhere I went for a moment, Everyone kept saying that God will provide. When I became helpless without His provision, I finally took His deceased one as a pledge, So that He might settle my affair all at once. How long will I remain in helplessness?' The man laughed at his action, And brought him bread and a garment to care for him. Another man saw that madman on the road, Wearing the garment, coming early in the morning. He said, 'Where did you get this garment? Did you earn it or was it given as a gift?' He said, 'God truly brought this garment.' The man said, 'Both good fortune and wealth are yours. For unless fortune is present, The Just One does not bestow such a garment.' The madman said, 'Where is my fortune? He did not give this garment without a hundred afflictions! Until I suddenly took a pledge from Him, Neither did my stomach find bread, nor my body a new garment. Being nice doesn't work much with Him, Until someone takes a pledge from Him. Without a pledge, when will your affair prosper? He won't give you clothes and bread without a pledge. And if you don't take a pledge, He ignores you, And sets fire to your soul and your harvest!'
