Original content

حکیم ترمذی کرد این حکایت
ز حال آدم و حوا روایت

که بعد از توبه چون با هم رسیدند
ز فردوس آمده کنجی گزیدند

مگر آدم بکاری رفت بیرون
بر حوا دوید ابلیس ملعون

یکی بچه بدش خناس نام او
بحوا دادش و برداشت گام او

چوآدم آمد و آن بچه را دید
ز حوا خشمگین شد زو بپرسید

که او را از چه پذرفتی ز ابلیس
دگرباره شدی مغرور تلبیس

بکشت آن بچه را و پاره کردش
بصحرا برد و پس آواره کردش

چو آدم شد دگر ره آمد ابلیس
بخواند آن بچهٔ خود را بتلبیس

درآمد بچهٔ او پاره پاره
بهم پیوست تا گشت آشکاره

چو زنده گشت زاری کرد بسیار
که تا حوا پذیرفتش دگربار

چو رفت ابلیس و آدم آمد آنجا
بدید آن بچهٔ او را هم آنجا

برنجانید حوا را دگر بار
که خواهی سوختن ما را دگر بار

بکشت آن بچه و آتش برافروخت
وزان پس بر سر آن آتشش سوخت

همه خاکستر او داد بر باد
برفت القصه از حوا بفریاد

دگر بار آمد ابلیس سیه روی
بخواند آن بچهٔ خود را زهر سوی

درآمد جملهٔ خاکستر از راه
بهم پیوسته شد آن بچه آنگاه

چو شد زنده بسی سوگند دادش
که بپذیر و مده دیگر ببادش

که نتوانم بدادن سر براهش
چو بازآیم برم زین جایگاهش

بگفت این و برفت و آدم آمد
ز خناسش دگر باره غم آمد

ملامت کرد حوا را ز سر باز
که از سر در شدی با دیو دمساز

نمی دانم که شیطان ستمگار
چه می سازد برای ما دگر بار

بگفت این و بکشت آن بچه را باز
پس آنگه قلیهٔ زو کرد آغاز

بخورد آن قلیه با حوا بهم خوش
وزانجا شد بکاری دل پر آتش

دگر بار آمد ابلیس لعین باز
بخواند آن بچهٔ خود را بآواز

چو واقف گشت خناس از خطابش
بداد از سینهٔ حوا جوابش

چو آوازش شنید ابلیس مکار
مرا گفتا میسر شد همه کار

مرا مقصود این بودست ما دام
که گیرم در درون آدم آرام

چو خود را در درون او فکندم
شود فرزند آدم مستمندم

گهی در سینهٔ مردم ز خناس
نهم صد دام رسوائی زوسواس

گهی صدگونه شهوة در درونش
برانگیزم شوم در رگ چو خونش

گهی از بهر طاعت خوانمش خاص
وزان طاعت ریا خواهم نه اخلاص

هزاران جادوئی آرم دگرگون
که مردم را برم از راه بیرون

چو شیطان در درونت رخت بنهاد
بسلطانی نشست وتخت بنهاد

ترا در جادوئی همت قوی کرد
که تا جانت هوای جادوئی کرد

اگر شیطان چنین ره زن نبودی
چنین سلطان مرد و زن نبودی

در افکندست خلقی را بغم در
همه گیتی برآورده بهم بر

بهر کنجی دلی در خواب کرده
بهرجائی گلی در آب کرده

ترا ره می زند وز درد این کار
چوابرت چشم ازان گشتست خون بار

گر آدم را که در یک دانه نگریست
به سیصد سال می بایست بگریست

ببین کابلیس را در لعن و در رشک
ز دیده چند باید ریختن اشک

English translation

Hakim Tirmidhi related this tale, Narrating the state of Adam and Eve: That after repentance, when they joined together, Coming from Paradise, they chose a corner to settle. It happened that Adam went out for some work, And the accursed Iblis ran to Eve. He had a child named Khannas; He gave him to Eve and went his way. When Adam returned and saw that child, He became angry with Eve and asked her: 'Why did you accept him from Iblis? Have you once again been deceived by his trickery?' He killed the child and cut him into pieces, Carried him to the wilderness and scattered him. When Adam left, Iblis came once more, And called his child with trickery. His child came forward piece by piece, Joining together until he became visible. When he came to life, he wept and lamented greatly, Until Eve accepted him once again. When Iblis left and Adam came there, He saw the child there as well. He angered Eve once again, saying: 'Do you wish to burn us once again?' He killed the child and kindled a fire, And then burned him over that fire. He scattered all his ashes to the wind, And in short, departed from Eve with clamor. Another time, the black-faced Iblis came, Calling his child from every direction. All the ashes came from the way, And the child was then joined together. When he came to life, he gave her many oaths: 'Accept him and do not give him to the wind again, For I cannot abandon him on the path; When I return, I will take him from this place.' He said this and departed, and Adam came; Grief came upon him once again because of Khannas. He reproached Eve all over again, saying: 'You have become companion to the demon once more! I do not know what the oppressive Satan Is planning for us this time.' Saying this, he killed the child again, And then proceeded to make a stew out of him. He ate that stew happily with Eve, And from there went about his work with a heart full of fire. Another time, the accursed Iblis came back, And called his child aloud. When Khannas became aware of his call, He answered him from the chest of Eve. When the deceitful Iblis heard his voice, He said: 'All my work has succeeded. This was my purpose all along: To find rest within Adam. Now that I have cast myself inside him, The children of Adam will be subject to me. Sometimes in the chest of people, through Khannas, I will lay a hundred traps of disgrace through temptation. Sometimes a hundred kinds of lust within him I will arouse, and flow in his veins like blood. Sometimes I will call him to obedience specifically, And from that obedience, I want hypocrisy, not sincerity. I will bring thousands of different magics To lead mankind astray from the path. When Satan has placed his baggage inside you, He sits as a king and establishes his throne. He makes your resolve strong in magic, So that your soul desires magic. If Satan were not such a highwayman, He would not be such a ruler of men and women. He has cast creation into sorrow, And thrown the whole world into turmoil. In every corner, he has put a heart to sleep, In every place, he has cast a flower into water. He robs you of the path, and from the pain of this deed, Your eyes have become blood-shedding like a cloud. If Adam, who looked upon a single grain, Had to weep for three hundred years, See how many tears Iblis, in his curse and envy, Must shed from his eyes.'
