بخش 149 - قصد انداختن مصطفی علیه‌السلام خود را از کوه حری از وحشت دیر نمودن جبرئیل علیه‌السلام خود را به وی و پیدا شدن جبرئیل به وی کی مینداز کی ترا دولتها در پیش است

Whenever (the sense of) separation (from God) overpowered Mustafá, he would be on the point of casting himself down from the mountain,

Until Gabriel would say to him, “Hark, do it not, for great fortune is (coming) to thee from the Command, Be!”

(Then) Mustafá would desist from casting (himself down), (till) separation again made an attack (upon him).

(Then) again, from grief and sorrow, he would be on the point of throwing himself headlong from the mountain,

And once more Gabriel would appear in person, saying, “Do it not, O thou peerless (spiritual) king!”

Even thus he would continue until the veil was lifted, so that he gained the pearl (of his desire) from the bosom (of his inmost consciousness).

Since people kill themselves on account of any affliction, this (separation from God) is the root of (all) afflictions: how should they endure it?

Men are amazed at the Fidá’í, (but) every one of us is a Fidá’í in his behaviour.

Oh, blest is he that has sacrificed his body for the sake of that for which it is worth while to sacrifice one's self.

Inasmuch as every one is devoted to some calling wherein he spends his life and is killed—

Is killed somewhere (either) in the West or in the East, at which time neither the desiring subject nor the desired object remains (in existence)—

After all, this fortunate man is devoted to the calling wherein a hundred lives are (gained) in being killed;

Its lover and beloved and love are everlastingly prosperous and renowned in both worlds.

O my generous friends, have pity on the votaries of passion: ’tis their business to go down to destruction after destruction.

(The people said), “O Amír, pardon his (the ascetic's) violence: consider his sorrow and ill-fortune,

In order that God may pardon thy sins likewise and heap forgiveness on thy faults.

Thou hast heedlessly broken many a jug and set thy heart on the hope of pardon.

Pardon, that thou mayst win pardon in return: the (Divine) decree splits hairs (is exceedingly scrupulous) in (giving every one his) deserts.”
