850-859

  • You would have said that in his inward part there was a sea, and that the whole sea was pearls of eloquence, 850
  • گفتی اندر باطنش دریاستی ** جمله دریا گوهر گویاستی‏
  • (And that) the light that shone from every pearl became a criterion for distinguishing between truth and falsehood.
  • نور هر گوهر کز او تابان شدی ** حق و باطل را از او فرقان شدی‏
  • (So) would the light of the Criterion (Universal Reason), (if it shone into our hearts), distinguish for us truth and falsehood and separate them mote by mote;
  • نور فرقان فرق کردی بهر ما ** ذره ذره حق و باطل را جدا
  • The light of the (Divine) Pearl would become the light of our eyes: both the question and the answer would be (would come) from us.
  • نور گوهر نور چشم ما شدی ** هم سؤال و هم جواب از ما بدی‏
  • (But) you have made your eyes awry and seen the moon's disk double: this gazing in perplexity is like the question.
  • چشم کژ کردی دو دیدی قرص ماه ** چون سؤال است این نظر در اشتباه‏
  • Make your eyes straight in the moonshine, so that you may see the moon as one. Lo, (that is) the answer. 855
  • راست گردان چشم را در ماهتاب ** تا یکی بینی تو مه را نک جواب‏
  • Your thought, (namely), "Do not see awry, look well!" is just the light and radiance of that Pearl.
  • فکرتت که کژ مبین نیکو نگر ** هست آن فکرت شعاع آن گهر
  • Whenever an answer comes to the heart through the ear, the eye says, “Hear it from me; let that (answer given through the ear) alone!”
  • هر جوابی کان ز گوش آید به دل ** چشم گفت از من شنو آن را بهل‏
  • The ear is a go-between, while the eye is possessed of union (immediate vision); the eye has direct experience (of reality), while the ear has (only) words (doctrine).
  • گوش دلاله ست و چشم اهل وصال ** چشم صاحب حال و گوش اصحاب قال‏
  • In the ear's hearing there is a transformation of qualities; in the eyes' seeing there is a transformation of essence.
  • در شنود گوش تبدیل صفات ** در عیان دیدها تبدیل ذات‏
