Original content

گفت روزی به مناجات کلیم
کای جهاندار خداوند حکیم

بر دلم روزن حکمت بگشای
عدل در صورت ظلمم بنمای

گفت تا نور یقینت نبود
طاقت دین اینت نبود

گفت یارب بده آن نور مرا
وافکن از ضعف یقین دور مرا

گفت نزدیک فلان چشمه نشین
می نگر قدرت ما را ز کمین

موسی آنجا شد و پنهان بنشست
منتظر پای به دامان بنشست

دید کز راه سواری برسید
چون خضر رخت به سرچشمه کشید

جامه کند از تن و زد غوطه در آب
تن فرو شست و بر آمد به شتاب

جامه پوشید و ز زین خانه گرفت
ره سوی منظر و کاشانه گرفت

بر زمین ماند ازو کیسه زر
از دل سفله ز دنیا پرتر

پس ازو کودکی آمد از راه
جانب کیسه اش افتاد نگاه

از چپ و راست کسی را چو ندید
کیسه بربود و سوی خانه دوید

بعد ازان دید که نابینایی
راه چشمه به عصا پیمایی

آمد و ساخت وضویی به نیاز
بست بر یک طرف احرام نماز

ناگه آن کیسه فرامش کرده
خیرباد خرد و هش کرده

آمد و کیسه به جا باز نیافت
بهر پرسش به سوی کور شتافت

کور با وی سخنی گفت درشت
زد بر او قهرکنان تیغی و کشت

موسی آن صورت هایل چو بدید
گفت کای تختگهت عرش مجید

آن یکی کیسه پر زر برده
وین دگر ضربت خنجر خورده

کیسه آن برده بر این زخم چراست
پیش شرع و خرد این حکم خطاست

آمدش وحی که ای نکته شناس
کار ما راست نیاید به قیاس

داشت آن کودک نورس پدری
مزد را بهر کسان کارگری

در عمارتگری مرد سوار
کرد یکچند به مزدوری کار

مزد نگرفته بیفتاد و بمرد
مزد وی بود در آن کیسه که برد

کور مقتول ازین کوری پیش
ریخت خون پدر قاتل خویش

کشتش امروز پسر بهر قصاص
وز پدر روز جزا داد خلاص

English translation

One day, the Interlocutor (Moses) said in supplication, 'O Ruler of the world, Wise Lord! Open the window of wisdom upon my heart, Show me justice in the guise of injustice.'

He (God) said, 'Unless you possess the light of certainty, You will not have the capacity to endure this path of religion.' He (Moses) said, 'O Lord, grant me that light, And cast me far away from the weakness of certainty (doubt).'

He (God) said, 'Sit near a certain spring, And watch our power from ambush (covertly).' Moses went there and sat hidden, Sitting expectantly with his feet drawn under his cloak.

He saw that a rider arrived from the road, Like Khidr, drawing his belongings to the spring. He stripped off his clothes and dove into the water, Washing his body and emerging in haste.

He dressed, mounted his saddle, And took the path toward his destination and home. Behind him on the ground, a bag of gold remained, Fuller than the heart of a worldly, vile man.

After him, a child came along the way; His gaze fell upon the bag. Seeing no one to his left or right, He snatched the bag and ran toward his house.

Thereafter, he saw a blind man, Measuring the path to the spring with his staff. He came and made his ablution with devotion, And stood to one side, entering the state of prayer.

Suddenly, the one who had forgotten the bag, Having bid farewell to his wisdom and awareness, Came back and did not find the bag in its place; He rushed to the blind man to question him.

The blind man spoke harshly to him, And the rider, in fury, struck him with a sword and killed him. When Moses witnessed that dreadful sight, He said, 'O One whose throne is the glorious heavens!

That one has taken the bag full of gold, While this other one has received the blow of the dagger. Why is the wound inflicted on this one while that one took the bag? In the eyes of law and intellect, this judgment is an error!'

The revelation came to him: 'O discerner of subtleties, Our work cannot be measured by analogy. That young child had a father, Who labored for others to earn a wage.

In the construction works of that rider, He worked as a laborer for some time. He died before receiving his wage, And his wage was exactly in that bag the child carried away.

And the slain blind man, before losing his sight, Had shed the blood of the father of his own killer (the rider). Today, the son (the rider) killed him in retribution, And thus delivered his father from reckoning on the Day of Judgment.'
