  • چون قران مرد و زن زاید بشر ** وز قران سنگ و آهن شد شرر

  • And (as) from the conjunction of happiness with our souls are born our goodness and beneficence.
  • قابل خوردن شود اجسام ما ** چون بر آید از تفرج کام ما

  • سرخ رویی از قران خون بود ** خون ز خورشید خوش گلگون بود

  • These spiritual truths without (possessing) any (worldly) pomp and grandeur, have pomp and grandeur from the Ninth Heaven.
  • خلق را طاق و طرم عاریت است ** امر را طاق و طرم ماهیت است‏
  • The pomp and grandeur belonging to (the world of) creation is a borrowed (adventitious) thing; the pomp and grandeur belonging to the (world of) Command is an essential thing.
  • از پی طاق و طرم خواری کشند ** بر امید عز در خواری خوشند
  • For the sake of (earthly) pomp and grandeur they endure abasement; in the hope of glory they are happy in (their) abasement.

  • مشرق خورشید برج قیرگون ** آفتاب ما ز مشرقها برون‏
  • The rising-place of the sun is the pitch-coloured tower (of heaven), (but) my Sun is beyond (all) rising-places.
  • مشرق او نسبت ذرات او ** نه بر آمد نه فرو شد ذات او
  • His “rising-place” (is only) in relation to His motes: His essence neither rose nor set.

  • I who am left behind (surpassed in eminence) by His motes am (nevertheless) in both worlds a sun without shadow.
  • باز گرد شمس می‏گردم عجب ** هم ز فر شمس باشد این سبب‏ 1110
  • Still, I am revolving round the Sun—’tis wonderful; the cause of this is the majesty of the Sun.
  • شمس باشد بر سببها مطلع ** هم از او حبل سببها منقطع‏

  • Hundreds of thousands of times have I cut off (abandoned) hope—of whom? Of the Sun? Do you believe this?
  • تو مرا باور مکن کز آفتاب ** صبر دارم من و یا ماهی ز آب‏
  • Do not believe of me that I can endure to be without the Sun, or the fish to be without water;
  • ور شوم نومید نومیدی من ** عین صنع آفتاب است ای حسن‏
  • And if I become despairing, my despair is the objective manifestation of the Sun's  work, O goodly (friend).
  • عین صنع از نفس صانع چون برد ** هیچ هست از غیر هستی چون چرد 1115
  • How should the objective manifestation of the work be cut off from the very self of the Worker? How should any object of (contingent) being pasture on (derive existence from) aught but (Absolute) Being?
