  • چار جوی جنت اندر حکم ماست ** این نه زور ما ز فرمان خداست‌‌ 3560
  • The four rivers of Paradise are under our control; this is not (by) our might, ’tis (by) the command of God:

  • هر کجا خواهیم داریمش روان ** همچو سحر اندر مراد ساحران‌‌
  • We keep them flowing wheresoever we will, like magic (which takes its course) according to the desire of the magicians,

  • همچو این دو چشمه‌‌ی چشم روان ** هست در حکم دل و فرمان جان‌‌
  • Just as these two flowing eye-fountains (the two eyes) are under the control of the heart and subject to the command of the spirit.

  • گر بخواهد رفت سوی زهر و مار ** ور بخواهد رفت سوی اعتبار
  • If it (the heart) will, they turn towards poison and the snake, and if it will, they turn to (edifying) consideration.

  • گر بخواهد سوی محسوسات رفت ** ور بخواهد سوی ملبوسات رفت‌‌
  • If it will, they turn to sensuous things, and if it will, they turn to things clothed (in the forms of thought and phantasy).

  • گر بخواهد سوی کلیات راند ** ور بخواهد حبس جزویات ماند 3565
  • If it will, they advance towards universals, and if it will, they remain in bondage to particulars.

  • همچنین هر پنج حس چون نایزه ** بر مراد و امر دل شد جایزه‌‌
  • Similarly all the five senses are passing (in movement) according to the will and command of the heart, like the spool (in the hand of a weaver).

  • هر طرف که دل اشارت کردشان ** می‌‌رود هر پنج حس دامن کشان‌‌
  • All the five senses are moving and trailing their skirts (sweeping along) in whatever direction the heart indicates to them.

  • دست و پا در امر دل اندر ملا ** همچو اندر دست موسی آن عصا
  • Hand and foot are plainly under command of the heart, like the staff in the hand of Moses.

  • دل بخواهد پا در آید زو به رقص ** یا گریزد سوی افزونی ز نقص‌‌
  • If the heart will, at once the foot begins to dance, or flees from defect towards increase.
