883-892

  • Our breaths soar up with the choice (words), as a gift from us, to the abode of everlastingness;
  • ترتقی أنفاسنا بالمنتقی ** متحفا منا إلی دار البقا
  • Then comes to us the recompense of our speech, a double (recompense) thereof, as a mercy from (God) the Glorious;
  • ثم تاتینا مکافات المقال ** ضعف ذاک رحمة من ذی الجلال‌‌
  • Then He causes us to repair to (makes us utter) good words like those (already uttered), that His servant may obtain (something more) of what he has obtained. 885
  • ثم یلجینا الی امثالها ** کی ینال العبد مما نالها
  • Thus do they (our good words) ascend while it (the Divine mercy) descends continually: mayst thou never cease to keep up that (ascent and descent)!
  • هکذا تعرج و تنزل دایما ** ذا فلا زلت علیه قائما
  • Let us speak Persian: the meaning is that this attraction (by which God draws the soul towards Himself) comes from the same quarter whence came that savour (spiritual delight experienced in and after prayer).
  • پارسی گوییم یعنی این کشش ** ز آن طرف آید که آمد آن چشش‌‌
  • The eyes of every set of people remain (turned) in the direction where one day they satisfied a (longing for) delight.
  • چشم هر قومی به سویی مانده است ** کان طرف یک روز ذوقی رانده است‌‌
  • The delight of (every) kind is certainly in its own kind (congener): the delight of the part, observe, is in its whole;
  • ذوق جنس از جنس خود باشد یقین ** ذوق جزو از کل خود باشد ببین‌‌
  • Or else, that (part) is surely capable of (attachment to) a (different) kind and, when it has attached itself thereto, becomes homogeneous with it, 890
  • یا مگر آن قابل جنسی بود ** چون بدو پیوست جنس او شود
  • As (for instance) water and bread, which were not our congeners, became homogeneous with us and increased within us (added to our bulk and strength).
  • همچو آب و نان که جنس ما نبود ** گشت جنس ما و اندر ما فزود
  • Water and bread have not the appearance of being our congeners, (but) from consideration of the end (final result) deem them to be homogeneous (with us).
  • نقش جنسیت ندارد آب و نان ** ز اعتبار آخر آن را جنس دان‌‌
