  • How wilt thou see red and green and russet, unless before (seeing) these three (colours) thou see the light?
  • کی ببینی سرخ و سبز و فور را ** تا نبینی پیش از این سه نور را
  • But since thy mind was lost (absorbed) in (perception of) the colour, those colours became to thee a veil from (debarred thee from contemplating) the light.
  • لیک چون در رنگ گم شد هوش تو ** شد ز نور آن رنگها رو پوش تو
  • Inasmuch as at night those colours were hidden, thou sawest that thy vision of the colour was (derived) from the light.
  • چون که شب آن رنگها مستور بود ** پس بدیدی دید رنگ از نور بود
  • There is no vision of colour without the external light: even so it is with the colour of inward phantasy.
  • نیست دید رنگ بی‌‌نور برون ** همچنین رنگ خیال اندرون‌‌
  • This outward (light) is (derived) from the sun and from Suhá, while the inward (light) is from the reflexion of the beams of (Divine) Glory. 1125
  • این برون از آفتاب و از سها ** و اندرون از عکس انوار علی‌‌
  • The light which gives light to the eye is in truth the light of the heart: the light of the eye is produced by the light of hearts.
  • نور نور چشم خود نور دل است ** نور چشم از نور دلها حاصل است‌‌
  • Again, the light which gives light to the heart is the Light of God, which is pure and separate from the light of intellect and sense.
  • باز نور نور دل نور خداست ** کاو ز نور عقل و حس پاک و جداست‌‌
  • At night there was no light and thou didst not see the colours; then it (the light) was made manifest by the opposite of light (by darkness).
  • شب نبد نوری ندیدی رنگها ** پس به ضد نور پیدا شد ترا
  • (First) comes the seeing of light, then the seeing of colour; and this thou knowest immediately by the opposite of light (darkness).
  • دیدن نور است آن گه دید رنگ ** وین به ضد نور دانی بی‌‌درنگ‌‌
  • God created pain and sorrow for the purpose that happiness might be made manifest by means of this opposite. 1130
  • رنج و غم را حق پی آن آفرید ** تا بدین ضد خوش دلی آید پدید
