Original content

ابلهی رخت خود به خواب سپرد
رختش از تن کشید و دزد ببرد

جز ازاری که بودش اندر پای
کش ز بی قیمتی گذاشت به جای

چون متاعی که با بها باشد
آفت دزدش از قفا باشد

کاله آن به که کم عیاری او
کند از دزد پاسداری او

ساده دل چون ز خواب سر برداشت
دید گم گشته هر چه در بر داشت

دست خود برد سوی سر دو سه بار
نه کله باز یافت نی دستار

گفت اگر جامه رفت نبود باک
دلم از بی عمامگی شد چاک

زانکه نبود به چشم هیچ گروه
مرد را بی عمامه فر و شکوه

چون نیارست سر برهنه نشست
کرد بیرون ازار و در سر بست

که از آنجا که رسم شهر و ده است
کون برهنه ز سر برهنه به است

آنچه پوشیدنش ضرورت بود
بی ضرورت برهنه کرد و نمود

وانچه بنمودنش به شرع رواست
یکدمش ز ابلهی برهنه نخواست

همچنین زاهد موسوس شهر
که ندارد ز شرع و سنت بهر

دفع وسواس کز سر تحقیق
فرض باشد به شرع اهل طریق

می گذارد ولی به غسل و وضو
می کند گاه شست و شوی غلو

غسل اعضا سه بار اگر چه بس است
شوید او آنقدر که دسترس است

چون ز کار وضو بپردازد
برود تا نماز آغازد

English translation

A fool entrusted his clothes to sleep; A thief stripped them from his body and took them away. Except for the trousers that were on his legs, Which, being worthless, the thief left in place. Just as a commodity of high value Is pursued by the plague of thieves, It is better for goods to be of low quality, So that their worthlessness guards them from the thief. When the simpleton raised his head from sleep, He saw that everything he wore was gone. He brought his hand to his head two or three times; He found neither cap nor turban. He said: 'If the clothes are gone, there is no fear; My heart is torn to pieces by my turbanless state. Because in the eyes of no group of people Does a man without a turban have dignity and majesty.' Since he could not bear to sit bareheaded, He took off his trousers and tied them around his head, Thinking that, according to the custom of city and village, A bare backside is better than a bare head. That which was necessary to cover, He uncovered and showed without necessity, While that whose exposure is lawful in religion, He did not want to keep bare for a moment out of foolishness. Likewise is the obsessive ascetic of the town, Who has no share of the religious law and tradition. Dispelling obsessive doubt, which through verification Is an obligation in the law of the people of the path, He neglects, yet in ritual bathing and ablution He sometimes exaggerates the washing. Although washing the limbs three times is sufficient, He washes as much as is within his reach. When he finishes with the work of ablution, He goes to begin his prayer.
