Original content

ابوبکر وراق - قدس سره - گفته است: اگر طمع را پرسند که پدرت کیست؟ گوید: شک در مقدرات کردگاری، و اگر گویند: پیشه تو چیست؟ گوید: اکتساب مذلت و خواری، و اگر گویند: غایت تو چیست؟ گوید: به محنت حرمان گرفتاری.
اگر پرسی طمع راکت پدر کیست؟

بگوید: شک در اقدار الهی
و گر گویی که کارت چیست؟ گوید:

به محنتهای حرمان عمر کاهی

English translation

Abu Bakr al-Warraq - may his secret be sanctified - said: If greed were asked, 'Who is your father?' it would say: 'Doubt in the decrees of the Creator.' And if it were asked, 'What is your trade?' it would say: 'The acquisition of abasement and lowliness.' And if it were asked, 'What is your end?' it would say: 'Captivity in the torment of deprivation.'

If you ask greed, 'Who is your father?' It says: 'Doubt in the divine decrees.' And if you say, 'What is your work?' it says: 'Wearing away one's life in the torments of deprivation.'
