و هاجرة یذیب الدرع حتی حسبت المرء یدرع الولالا و آوقدت النعال الشمس حتی حسبت الخیل تنتعل الهلالا و سجرت البحار بها الی أن تبدلت المیاة فصرن آلالا کان الشمس داؤد فأضحتتلین بجر ها الحلق الدخا لا ز تاب شعشعهآ مهر سایه بهر پناه سزد که بگسلد از شخص و پیش گیرد راه فروغ مهر به تفسندگی چنان گردید که شعله بر سر خود زد ز دود دل خرگاه شود برشته چو ماهی درون روغن گرم چو عکس ماه برافتد در این هواه به میاه ز همدمی صبا پرتو شهاب دهد ز بس که تاب هوا برفروخت چهر پگاه بهغایتی شده آتش اثر ز گرما روح که دست مرگ شود از تصرفش کوتاه چون از تحمل اثقال سفر پربلا و مجاورت اختلاف آب و هوا تن مستعد قبول شداید امراض گشته بود و صحت برای مفارقت و وداع بدن بهانه می طلبید به مجرد آن که دو سه روز حرکت سیر کرده آمد، اثر گرمی هوا بر صفحات احوال نفس ظاهر شد و از غلبهآ حرارت صحن سینه مانند تنور آتش گرم گشت و تب که مقدمهآ لشکر هادم اللذات" است «الحمی راید المؤت»5. خیرمقدم عزرائیل علیه السلام به گوش جان فروخواندن گرفت و کثرت عفونت قالب خاکی را چون جرم زمین از غلبه بخارات دخانی در لرزه افکند و صداع که

“Fever is the messenger of death”—began to whisper into the ear of the soul the welcome of ʿIzrāʾīl, peace be upon him; and the excess
of putrefaction set the earthly frame trembling like the globe of the earth from the dominance of smoky vapors; and headache, which
