بخش ۶۷ - حکایت آن منافق و آن مؤمن صادق که ردای وی را در ردای خود پیچیده در کوره آتش نهاد و ردای منافق بسوخت و ردای مؤمن سالم بماند / Section 67 - The Tale of the Hypocrite and the Sincere Believer Who Wrapped the Believer's Cloak in His Own, Placed It in a Furnace of Fire, and the Hypocrite's Cloak Was Burnt While the Believer's Cloak Remained Safe

Original content

دین پرستی کوره آتش به پیش
گرم چون آتش به کسب و کار خویش

با منافق شیوه ای در دین دو رنگ
از پی اثبات دین برداشت جنگ

آن منافق گفت باآن دین پرست
هان بیار ار حجتی داری به دست

زو ردایش را طلب کرد از نخست
در ردای خویشتن پیچید چست

در میان کوره آتش نهاد
در ردای خصم دین آتش فتاد

ماند سالم زان ردای مرد دین
هین ببین خاصیت نور یقین

کان درونی سوخت چون خاشاک و خس
وانچه بیرون بود سالم ماند و بس

English translation

A devout believer had a furnace of fire before him, As warm as fire in his work and occupation. A hypocrite, two-faced in his religious ways, Began a dispute with him to prove his faith. That hypocrite said to the devout believer: 'Come, bring whatever proof you have in hand!' He first demanded the believer's cloak from him, And quickly wrapped it in his own cloak. He placed them in the midst of the furnace of fire; The fire fell upon the cloak of the enemy of religion. The cloak of the man of religion remained safe; Behold, see the effect of the light of certainty! For that inner one burnt like weeds and chaff, And that which was on the outside remained safe and sound.
