دفتر سوم - بخش ۸۳ - صفت بعضی اولیا کی راضی‌اند باحکام و لابه نکنند کی این حکم را بگردان / Book Three - Section 83 - The Attribute of Some Saints Who Are Content With the Decrees and Do Not Supplicate That He Avert This Decree

Original content

بشنو اکنون قصهٔ آن ره‌روان
که ندارند اعتراضی در جهان

ز اولیا اهل دعا خود دیگرند
که همی‌دوزند و گاهی می‌درند

قوم دیگر می‌شناسم ز اولیا
که دهانشان بسته باشد از دعا

از رضا که هست رام آن کرام
جستن دفع قضاشان شد حرام

در قضا ذوقی همی‌بینند خاص
کفرشان آید طلب کردن خلاص

حسن ظنی بر دل ایشان گشود
که نپوشند از عمی جامهٔ کبود

English translation

Hear now the story of those wayfarers Who have no complaint in the world. Among the saints, those who pray are of a different kind, Who sew together and sometimes tear apart. Another group I know among the saints Whose mouths are sealed from supplication. From the contentment with which those noble ones are at peace, Seeking to avert their destiny has become forbidden to them. In destiny they perceive a particular delight; Seeking deliverance seems to them like unbelief. A good opinion has opened upon their hearts, So that out of blindness they do not put on the garment of mourning.
