  • When the Prophet called the “deficient” (man) accursed, (his meaning) as interpreted was “deficiency of mind,”
  • چون که ملعون خواند ناقص را رسول ** بود در تاویل نقصان عقول‏
  • Because one whose body is deficient is the object of (Divine) mercy: cursing and repulse (directed) against the object of (Divine) mercy are improper.
  • ز انکه ناقص تن بود مرحوم رحم ** نیست بر مرحوم لایق لعن و زخم‏
  • ’Tis deficiency of mind that is the bad disease: it is the cause of (God's) curse and merits banishment (from His presence),
  • نقص عقل است آن که بد رنجوری است ** موجب لعنت سزای دوری است‏
  • Forasmuch as the perfecting of minds is not remote (impossible), but the perfecting of the body is not within our power.
  • ز انکه تکمیل خردها دور نیست ** لیک تکمیل بدن مقدور نیست‏
  • The miscreance and Pharaoh-like pride of every infidel who is far (from God) have all been produced by deficiency of mind. 1540
  • کفر و فرعونی هر گبر بعید ** جمله از نقصان عقل آمد پدید
  • Relief for bodily deficiency has come in the (words of the) Qur’án—it is no crime in the blind man.
  • بهر نقصان بدن آمد فرج ** در نبی که ما علی الاعمی حرج‏
  • Lightning is transient and very faithless: without clearness (of mind) you will not know the transient from the permanent.
  • برق آفل باشد و بس بی‏وفا ** آفل از باقی ندانی بی‏صفا
  • The lightning laughs: say, at whom is it laughing? At him that sets his heart upon its light.
  • برق خندد بر که می‏خندد بگو ** بر کسی که دل نهد بر نور او
  • The lights of the sky are hamstrung (feeble and imperfect): how are they like (that Light which is) neither of the east nor of the west?
  • نورهای چرخ ببریده پی است ** آن چو لا شرقی و لا غربی کی است‏
  • Know that the nature of lightning is that it taketh away the sight; regard the everlasting Light as entirely Helpers (to the attainment of vision). 1545
  • برق را چون یخطف الأبصار دان ** نور باقی را همه انصار دان‏
