M1:2449 — مرد گفت ای زن پیشمان می‌شوم / گر بدم کافر مسلمان می‌شوم

此诗节捕捉了故事中一个戏剧性的转折点。在被妻子不断抱怨贫穷后，男人一时怒火攻心，说了要抛弃她的话。然而，神意（قضا, qażā）介入，他的心瞬间翻转，充满了懊悔。

鲁米在此运用了一个强有力的宗教隐喻。男人将自己先前的愤怒和绝情视为一种精神上的“不信”（کفر, kufr），即一种背离神、背离慈悲的状态。因此，他向妻子表达的悔意，不仅仅是道歉，更是一种深刻的灵性回归。他说自己正在“成为穆斯林”，这并非指字面上的改宗，而是象征着他正从悖逆与冷酷的状态，回归到顺从、慈悲与和谐——这些是伊斯兰信仰的核心品质。这节诗生动地描绘了“忏悔”（توبه, tawba）在苏菲思想中的核心地位：它是一种能瞬间将人从灵性死亡带向灵性新生的力量。

This couplet marks the turning point in a story about a poor man and his demanding wife. After enduring her complaints about their poverty, the man finally broke, agreeing to abandon his spiritual trust in God (tawakkul) to seek worldly employment. The moment he makes this concession, he is overcome with immediate and devastating regret.

His cry, "I repent!" is not merely an apology to his wife; it is a spiritual reorientation. He frames his lapse in faith as a form of infidelity or disbelief (kufr). By agreeing to prioritize material means over divine providence, he feels he has acted like an unbeliever. His declaration, "I now submit instead" (literally, "I am becoming a Muslim"), signifies his return to the core principle of Islam: submission to God's will. He recognizes that his wife's nagging, which he initially saw as a worldly problem, was in fact a divine test of his faith, and he had failed it. This moment of repentance is his attempt to correct his course and re-align himself with God.
