  • قالبت پیدا و آن جانت نهان  ** راست شد زین هر دو اسباب جهان 
  • Your body is visible, while your spirit is hidden from view: the business of the world is conducted by means of them both.

  • خاک را بر سر زنی سر نشکند  ** آب را بر سر زنی در نشکند  3425
  • If you throw earth at (some one's) head, his head will not be broken; if you throw water at his head, it will not be broken.

  • گر تو می‌خواهی که سر را بشکنی  ** آب را و خاک را بر هم زنی 
  • If you wish to break his head, you bring the earth and the water into contact with each other (and make a lump of clay).

  • چون شکستی سر رود آبش به اصل  ** خاک سوی خاک آید روز فصل 
  • When you have broken your head, its water (the spirit) returns to its source, and earth returns to earth on the day of separation.

  • حکمتی که بود حق را ز ازدواج  ** گشت حاصل از نیاز و از لجاج 
  • The providential purpose that God had—namely, humble supplication or obstinate contumacy—was fulfilled by means of the marriage (of body and spirit).

  • باشد آنگه ازدواجات دگر  ** لا سمع اذن و لا عین بصر 
  • Then (afterwards) there are other marriages that no ear hath heard and no eye hath seen.

  • گر شنیدی اذن کی ماندی اذن  ** یا کجا کردی دگر ضبط سخن  3430
  • If the ear had heard, how should the ear have remained (in action) or how should it have apprehended words any more?

  • گر بدیدی برف و یخ خورشید را  ** از یخی برداشتی اومید را 
  • If the snow and ice were to behold the sun, they would despair of (retaining their) iciness;

  • آب گشتی بی‌عروق و بی‌گره  ** ز آب داود هوا کردی زره 
  • They would become water (formless and) devoid of roots and knobs: the air, David-like, would make of the water a mail-coat (of ripples),

  • پس شدی درمان جان هر درخت  ** هر درختی از قدومش نیک‌بخت 
  • And then it (the water) would become a life-giving medicine for every tree: every tree (would be made) fortunate by its advent.
