Folio:
خداوندا ابراهیم را آن روز از غار تو بدر آوردی  1
ما را نیز از غار نهاد خود بدر آوری تا در ملکوت 2
عشق تو جولان کنیم هرچه دون تو است همه را 3
به پشت پای براندازیم و این برخوانیم کی  وجهت 4
وجهی للّذی فطر السَمٰوات و الارض حنیفا 5
وَ ما اَنا من المشرکین ای قادر بر کمال هریکی را تبري 6
از عشق در دست ده تا در بت‌ خانۀ نفسْ (*) 7
اماره شویم همه بتانرا در هم شکنیم کی فجعَلَهمْ  8
جُذَاذً اِلا کبیرا جبّارا  چندین سالست کی 9
این نفس اماره ما در عالم نهاد خود بت  10
معاصی می تراشد ابراهیم دل را توفیق ده 11
تا جمله را بیک تبری توبه در هم شکند خداوندا 1
نمرود ابلیس که درعالم نهاد ما از ابراهیم دل 2
منجنیق وسوسه  می سازد تا او را در آتش اندازد 3
ما را بکرم و فضل  خویش دریاب  خداوندا 4
آتش آن روز بر ابراهیم ریاحین گردانیدی و 5
ندا دردادي که یا نار کوني بردا و سلاما علی 6
ابراهیم این آتش‌ خانه فسق ما را ریاحین 7
گردان و ندا درده کی فاولَیک یبدل ا 8
لله سییاتَهم حسنات برحمتک یا ارحم الراحمین 9
هرکی از امت محمد علیه السلام بدي بکند آنگاه 10
پشیمان شود و نیکویی بکند من آن بدی او را 11
بنکویی بدل گردانم  تمت 12
Translation
Folio:
1 Oh God, that day it was you who got Ibrahim out of the cave.
2 May you take us, too, out of our cave of our being, so that 
3 we can move freely in the dominions of your  love, leaving 
4 behind everything, and recite, “I have turned 
5 my face to Him who created the heavens and the earth, as a man of pure faith,
6 and I am not one of those who associate others with God.” Oh [you who has] the power of perfection, give each person a hatchet 
7 of love, so that we enter the temple of our temptations to
8 break all the idols, for “Then he turned them into 
9 fragments, except for a big one they had.” It has been some years that
10 our temptations have been carving idols 
11 of sin. Enable the Ibrahim of my heart
1 to break all of them with a single hatchet of repentance. O Lord, 
2 Nimrod, the devil, who lodges in our nature the catapult of temptation 
3 in the place of our hearts’ Ibrahim so that he can throw our hearts in the fire;
4 Help us with your beneficence and excellence. Oh Lord,
5 you turned the fire of that day into sweet-scented flowers.
6 And you proclaimed that, “O fire, be a coolness and peace for 
7 Ibrahim.” Turn the fire temple of our depravity into sweet-scented flowers 
8 and announce, “God will change their 
9 evil deeds into good deeds,” by your mercy, oh most merciful one. [The translation in Persian is,]
10 “Whenever any of the followers of Muḥammad, peace be upon him, do any wrong,  
11 they will feel remorse, and will do good [instead]. I will turn their evil deeds into 
12 good deeds.” The end.
