در پی موسی شدم تا کوه طور ** هر سه‌مان گشتیم ناپیدا ز نور

I followed Moses to Mt Sinai: in the Light (of the Divine Epiphany) all three of us vanished.

هر سه سایه محو شد زان آفتاب ** بعد از آن زان نور شد یک فتح باب 2430

All (our) three shadows disappeared in the Sun; after that, there came from the Light an opening of the door (revelation).

نور دیگر از دل آن نور رست ** پس ترقی جست آن ثانیش چست

From the heart of that Light another Light sprang up, and then the second (Light) quickly sought to transcend it.

هم من و هم موسی و هم کوه طور ** هر سه گم گشتیم زان اشراق نور

Both I and Moses and also Mt Sinai, we were lost, all three, in that effulgence of the (second) Light.

بعد از آن دیدم که که سه شاخ شد ** چونک نور حق درو نفاخ شد

After that, I saw the mountain break into three pieces when the Light of God surged upon it.

وصف هیبت چون تجلی زد برو ** می‌سکست از هم همی‌شد سو به سو

When the Attribute of Majesty was revealed to it, it burst asunder in every direction.

آن یکی شاخ که آمد سوی یم ** گشت شیرین آب تلخ هم‌چو سم 2435

One piece of the mountain fell towards the sea, and the water bitter as poison was made sweet.

آن یکی شاخش فرو شد در زمین ** چشمه‌ی دارو برون آمد معین

One piece thereof sank into the earth, and a medicinal spring of running water gushed forth,

که شفای جمله رنجوران شد آب ** از همایونی وحی مستطاب

So that its water became a cure for all the sick by the blessedness of the goodly revelation.

آن یکی شاخ دگر پرید زود ** تا جوار کعبه که عرفات بود

The other (third) piece flew at once to the neighbourhood of the Ka‘ba where ‘Arafát was (situated).
