It would be near the mark if I were to call you shortsighted.
Whatever I did was just the right thing in your case.
The so-called freedom of your dreams, like death, would have
Dragged you down to the depths of ignominy and shame.
My apparent hard-heartedness was an act of mercy in disguise.
It's sheer ignorance that makes you bewail and cry!
In recounting the sorry tale in the Tavern,
You have cast a slur on your name and fortune!
Look within yourself, and try to face the Truth.
Don't you realize within yourself a world of difference between your past and your present?
If there is the slightest tinge of right-mindedness in you, you will admit it unhesitatingly,
That the Saki has made an insignificant atom like you the rival to the sun!
The lessons in Gnosis given by me brought about your awakening.
It even enabled you to assess the true status of the Messenger of God.
A kafir of your caliber was transformed into a true Muslim!
In short, an animal like you was made a human!
The world recognizes you because of my teachings!
Because of me you are listened to and respected!
In the world, for one beautiful there is one better;
In intellect and learning, there are hundreds superior to you!
Just explain what particular qualification you possess
That amongst others you became select in my eyes.
It was the result of that Eternal Link of Blessedness
Which entitled you to be the recipient of my Gnosis!
The point is, where could you have stored this unique Blessedness,
Since your heart and mind were overfull of worldly trash?
The process of purifying the heart is not a child's game!
The ordeal of Surrender and Resignation is long and tedious.
Your hasty temperament has blurred your vision.
In this Path there is tardiness, but not niggardliness!
Listen to the Saki! Don't lose heart.
Success depends on the will to do and die.
Give up all considerations of profit and loss.
Be prepared to lose life if you wish to have it!
The all-merciful Master of the Tavern will, no doubt,
Make you drink one day the Wine of Immortal Life!
