گفت رکن الدین اکافی مگر
می فشاند اندر سخن روزی گهر

مجلس او پارهٔ شوریده شد
خواجه را آن از کسی پرسیده شد

کاین چه افتادست وین شورش چراست
ما نمیدانیم بر گوئید راست

آن یکی گفتش فلان مرد نه خرد
در نهان کفشی بدزدید و ببرد

کفش ازو میبستدیم اینجایگاه
شورشی برخاست زان گم کرده راه

خواجه میگفتش مکن قصه دراز
زانکه گر روزی خدای بی نیاز

برفکندی پردهٔ عصمت ز ما
کفش دزد اولستی این گدا

کس چه داند تا چه حکمت میرود
هر وجودی را چه قسمت میرود

خون صدیقان ازین حسرت بریخت
وآسمان بر فرق ایشان خاک بیخت

گرچه ره جستند هر سوئی ازین
پی نبردند ای عجب موئی ازین

صد جهان حسرت بجان پاک در
میتوان دیدن بزیر خاک در

English translation

Rukn al-Din Akkafi was, perhaps, Scattering pearls in his speech one day. His assembly became somewhat agitated; The master asked someone about it: 'What has happened here and why this commotion? We do not know, tell us the truth.' Someone told him, 'A certain man lacking in reason Secretly stole a shoe and took it away. We were taking the shoe back from him right here; A commotion arose because of that lost soul.' The master told him, 'Do not prolong the story, Because if one day the Self-Sufficient God Were to lift the veil of protection from us, This beggar would be the first shoe-thief. Who knows what wisdom is at play, And what destiny is apportioned to each being? The blood of the truthful ones was spilled from this sorrow, And heaven sifted dust upon their heads. Though they sought a path in every direction from this, They astonishingly did not find a hair's breadth of a clue. A hundred worlds of sorrow in the pure soul, Can be seen beneath the dust of the door.'
