  • تا برون نایی بنگشاید دلت ** پس چه سود آمد فراخی منزلت

  • اولیا را خواب ملکست ای فلان ** همچو آن اصحاب کهف اندر جهان
  • To the saints, O reader, sleep is a kingdom, as (it was to) the Men of the Cave in this world.
  • خواب می‌بینند و آنجا خواب نه ** در عدم در می‌روند و باب نه
  • They (sleep and) dream, and no (physical) sleep is there; they go into nonexistence, and no (material) door (is there).

  • “(The body is) a narrow house, and the soul within is cramped: He (God) ruined it in order that He might make a royal palace.
  • چنگ‌لوکم چون جنین اندر رحم ** نه‌مهه گشتم شد این نقلان مهم
  • I am cramped like the embryo in the womb: I have become nine months old: this migration has become urgent.
  • گر نباشد درد زه بر مادرم ** من درین زندان میان آذرم
  • Unless the throes of childbirth overtake my mother, (what should I do?): in this prison I am amidst the fire.
  • مادر طبعم ز درد مرگ خویش ** می‌کند ره تا رهد بره ز میش
  • My mother, namely, my nature (natural body), in consequence of its death-throes, is giving birth (to the spirit), to the end that the lamb (the spirit) may be released from the ewe,

  • Setting forth that whatever is (denoted by the terms) heedlessness and anxiety and indolence and darkness is all (derived) from the body, which belongs to the earth and the lower world.
  • غفلت از تن بود چون تن روح شد ** بیند او اسرار را بی هیچ بد

  • When the earth is removed from the celestial atmosphere, there is neither night nor shade nor sunset.

  • مغز کو از پوستها آواره نیست ** از طبیب و علت او را چاره نیست 3575
  • The kernel (intellect) that is not separated from the husks has no means (of escape) from doctor and disease;
  • چون دوم بار آدمی‌زاده بزاد ** پای خود بر فرق علتها نهاد
  • (But) when a son of man is born twice, he plants his foot upon the head of (all) causes:
  • علت اولی نباشد دین او ** علت جزوی ندارد کین او

  • می‌پرد چون آفتاب اندر افق ** با عروس صدق و صورت چون تتق
  • He flies, like the sun, in the (spiritual) horizon with the bride, sincerity; and (material) form (is) as a veil (for him).

  • مجتهد هر گه که باشد نص‌شناس ** اندر آن صورت نیندیشد قیاس
  • Whenever the mujtahid (legist) knows a Statute, in that case he will not think of (employing) analogy;

  • (But) in a case where he does not find a Statute, there he will produce an example from analogy.
  • تشبیه نص با قیاس
  • Comparison between Statute and analogy.
  • نص وحی روح قدسی دان یقین ** وان قیاس عقل جزوی تحت این
  • Know for sure that Statute is the Revelation of the Holy Spirit and that the analogy made by the individual intellect is under (subordinate to) this.
  • عقل از جان گشت با ادراک و فر ** روح او را کی شود زیر نظر
  • The intellect is endued with apprehension and enlightenment by the Spirit: how should the Spirit become subject to its supervision?
  • 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
