  • The one has thrown the cotton garments into the water, while the other partner is drying them.
  • آن یکی کرباس را در آب زد ** و آن دگر همباز خشکش می‌‌کند
  • Again the former makes the dry clothes wet: ’tis as though he were spitefully thwarting his opposite;
  • باز او آن خشک را تر می‌‌کند ** گوییا ز استیزه ضد بر می‌‌تند
  • Yet these two opposites, who seem to be at strife, are of one mind and acting together in agreement. 3085

  • When slumber (heedlessness) overtook the concentration (attention) of the listener, the water carried the millstones away.
  • چون که جمع مستمع را خواب برد ** سنگهای آسیا را آب برد
  • The course of this water is above the mill: its going into the mill is for your sakes.
  • رفتن این آب فوق آسیاست ** رفتنش در آسیا بهر شماست‌‌
  • Since ye had no further need of the mill, he (the prophet or saint) made the water flow back into the original stream.
  • چون شما را حاجت طاحون نماند ** آب را در جوی اصلی باز راند
  • The rational spirit (the Logos) is (coming) to the mouth for the purpose of teaching: else (it would not come, for) truly that speech hath a channel apart: 3090
  • ناطقه سوی دهان تعلیم راست ** ور نه خود آن نطق را جویی جداست‌‌
