That rain is not from your clouds: there are other clouds and another sky.”
نیست آن باران از این ابر شما ** هست ابری دیگر و دیگر سما
Commentary on the verse of Hakím (Saná’í): “In the realm of the soul are skies lording over the sky of this world. In the Way of the spirit there are lowlands and highlands, there are lofty mountains and seas.”
تفسیر بیت حکیم: "آسمانهاست در ولایت جان کارفرمای آسمان جهان در ره روح پست و بالاهاست کوههای بلند و دریاهاست"
The Unseen World has other clouds and water (than ours), it has another sky and sun.2035
غیب را ابری و آبی دیگر است ** آسمان و آفتابی دیگر است
That is not discerned save by the elect; the rest are in doubt as to a new creation.
ناید آن الا که بر خاصان پدید ** باقیان فی لبس من خلق جدید
There is rain for the sake of nurture; there is (also) rain for the sake of decay.
هست باران از پی پروردگی ** هست باران از پی پژمردگی
Marvellous is the benefit of the rain of springtime, (but) to the garden the autumnal rain is like a (consuming) fever.
نفع باران بهاران بو العجب ** باغ را باران پاییزی چو تب
That vernal (rain) makes it tenderly nurtured (flourishing), while this autumnal (rain) makes it sickly and wan.
آن بهاری ناز پروردش کند ** وین خزانی ناخوش و زردش کند
Similarly know that cold and wind and sun are at variance (produce various effects); and find the clue.2040
همچنین سرما و باد و آفتاب ** بر تفاوت دان و سر رشته بیاب
Even so in the Unseen World there are these different sorts, (consisting) in loss and gain and in profit and defraudment (damage).
همچنین در غیب انواع است این ** در زیان و سود و در ربح و غبین
This breath of the Abdál (saints) is from that (spiritual) springtide: from it there grows a green garden in heart and soul.
این دم ابدال باشد ز آن بهار ** در دل و جان روید از وی سبزه‌‌زار
From their breaths there comes (is produced) in him who is fortunate the (same) effect (as that) of the spring rain on the tree.
فعل باران بهاری با درخت ** آید از انفاسشان در نیک بخت
