Original content

در عریش او را یکی زایر بیافت
کو بهر دو دست می زنبیل بافت

گفت او را ای عدو جان خویش
در عریشم آمده سر کرده پیش

این چراکردی شتاب اندر سباق
گفت از افراط مهر و اشتیاق

پس تبسم کرد و گفت اکنون بیا
لیک مخفی دار این را ای کیا

تا نمیرم من مگو این با کسی
نه قرینی نه حبیبی نه خسی

بعد از آن قومی دگر از روزنش
مطلع گشتند بر بافیدنش

گفت حکمت را تو دانی کردگار
من کنم پنهان تو کردی آشکار

آمد الهامش که یکچندی بدند
که درین غم بر تو منکر می‌شدند

که مگر سالوس بود او در طریق
که خدا رسواش کرد اندر فریق

من نخواهم کان رمه کافر شوند
در ضلالت در گمان بد روند

این کرامت را بکردیم آشکار
که دهیمت دست اندر وقت کار

تا که آن بیچارگان بد گمان
رد نگردند از جناب آسمان

من ترا بی این کرامتها ز پیش
خود تسلی دادمی از ذات خویش

این کرامت بهر ایشان دادمت
وین چراغ از بهر آن بنهادمت

تو از آن بگذشته‌ای کز مرگ تن
ترسی وز تفریق اجزای بدن

وهم تفریق سر و پا از تو رفت
دفع وهم اسپر رسیدت نیک زفت

English translation

In his bower a pilgrim found him, weaving baskets with both hands. He said to him: O enemy of your own soul, you have come into my bower, thrusting your head forward. Why did you hasten so in this race? He said: From excess of love and longing. Then he smiled and said: Now come in, but keep this hidden, O noble one. Until I die, tell this to no one— not a companion, not a beloved, not a nobody. After that, another group through his window became aware of his weaving. He said: You know the wisdom, O Creator— I conceal it, yet You revealed it. Inspiration came to him: There were some for a time who in this grief were denying you, saying: Perhaps he was a hypocrite on the Path, and so God disgraced him before the crowd. I do not want that flock to become unbelievers, to go astray in error and ill-thinking. We made this karāmat manifest to give you a hand in the hour of need, so that those wretched ill-thinking ones may not be turned away from the threshold of Heaven. I would have consoled you before this, without these karāmāt, from My own Essence. This karāmat I gave you for their sake, and I placed this lamp for that reason. You have passed beyond fearing the death of the body and the scattering of the body's limbs. The illusion of the separation of head and foot has departed from you; the shield against illusion has reached you, mighty and firm.
