  • لیک جان در عقل تاثیری کند ** زان اثر آن عقل تدبیری کند 3585
  • But the Spirit makes an impression on the intellect, and in consequence of that impression the intellect exercises a certain governance.
  • نوح‌وار ار صدقی زد در تو روح ** کو یم و کشتی و کو طوفان نوح
  • If the Spirit has declared a belief in you, as (in) Noah, where is the Sea and the Ship (Ark) and the Flood of Noah?
  • عقل اثر را روح پندارد ولیک ** نور خور از قرص خور دورست نیک
  • The intellect deems the impression to be the Spirit, but the light of the sun is very far from (being) the orb of the sun.
  • زان به قرصی سالکی خرسند شد ** تا ز نورش سوی قرص افکند شد
  • Hence a pilgrim (on the Mystic Way) is content with a loaf of bread (qursí), in order that by its light he may be thrown (directed) towards the (Divine) Orb (Qurs),
  • زانک این نوری که اندر سافل است ** نیست دایم روز و شب او آفل است
  • Because this light which is below is not lasting: it is sinking (every) day and night,
  • وانک اندر قرص دارد باش و جا ** غرقه‌ی آن نور باشد دایما 3590
  • While he that has his abode and dwelling-place in the (Divine) Orb is plunged in that Light continually.
  • نه سحابش ره زند خود نه غروب ** وا رهید او از فراق سینه کوب
  • Neither does cloud waylay him nor setting (of the sun): he is delivered from heart-wringing separation.
  • این‌چنین کس اصلش از افلاک بود ** یا مبدل گشت گر از خاک بود
  • Such a person's origin was from the heavens, or if he was of the earth, he has been transmuted,
  • زانک خاکی را نباشد تاب آن ** که زند بر وی شعاعش جاودان
  • Because a creature of earth cannot endure that its (the Sun's) beams should strike upon it everlastingly.
  • گر زند بر خاک دایم تاب خور ** آنچنان سوزد که ناید زو ثمر
  • If the radiance of the sun strike upon the earth continually, it will be burned in such wise that no fruits will come from it.
  • دایم اندر آب کار ماهی است ** مار را با او کجا همراهی است 3595
  • The business of the fish is always in the water: how has a snake the power of accompanying it (the fish) on its way?
  • لیک در که مارهای پر فن‌اند ** اندرین یم ماهییها می‌کنند
  • But in the mountain are artful snakes (who) perform the actions of fish in this Sea.
  • مکرشان گر خلق را شیدا کند ** هم ز دریا تاسه‌شان رسوا کند
  • Though their cunning make the people mad, still their aversion to the Sea exposes them (as hypocrites);
  • واندرین یم ماهیان پر فن‌اند ** مار را از سحر ماهی می‌کنند
  • And in this Sea are artful fish, (who) by magic turn snakes into fishes—
  • ماهیان قعر دریای جلال ** بحرشان آموخته سحر حلال
  • The fish of the deepest depth of the Sea of (Divine) Majesty: the Sea has taught them lawful magic;
  • بس محال از تاب ایشان حال شد ** نحس آنجا رفت و نیکوفال شد 3600
  • Therefore through their illumination the (thing that was) absurd became a fact: the ill-starred one went thither and became auspicious.
  • تا قیامت گر بگویم زین کلام ** صد قیامت بگذرد وین ناتمام
  • Though I should speak on this topic till the Resurrection, a hundred Resurrections would pass, and this (discourse would still be) incomplete.
  • آداب المستمعین والمریدین عند فیض الحکمة من لسان الشیخ
  • The rules to be observed by listeners and disciples at the emanation of wisdom from the tongue of the Shaykh.
  • بر ملولان این مکرر کردنست ** نزد من عمر مکرر بردنست
  • To the weary this is (only) repetition, (but) in my eyes it is the bringing of repeated life.
  • شمع از برق مکرر بر شود ** خاک از تاب مکرر زر شود
  • The candle goes upward (burns higher) from repeated flashes (of flame); earth becomes gold in consequence of repeated heat.
  • گر هزاران طالب‌اند و یک ملول ** از رسالت باز می‌ماند رسول
  • If there are thousands of (eager) seekers (of knowledge) and a single weary (disgusted) one, the Messenger will refrain from delivering his message.
  • این رسولان ضمیر رازگو ** مستمع خواهند اسرافیل‌خو 3605
  • These mystery-telling Messengers of the hidden Mind require a hearer who has the nature of Isráfíl.
  • نخوتی دارند و کبری چون شهان ** چاکری خواهند از اهل جهان
  • They have a haughtiness and pride like (that of) kings: they require service from the people of the world.
  • تا ادبهاشان بجاگه ناوری ** از رسالتشان چگونه بر خوری
  • Until you perform the observances due to them, how will you gain profit from their message?
  • کی رسانند آن امانت را بتو ** تا نباشی پیششان راکع دوتو
  • How will they deliver that deposit to you till you are bowed double before them?
  • هر ادبشان کی همی‌آید پسند ** کامدند ایشان ز ایوان بلند
  • How is every (kind of) observance acceptable to them?—for they have come from the Sublime Palace.
