Rumi's Masnavi - Knowledge leads to vision, O knowing one: if it (knowledge) became (intuitive) certainty, they would see Hell.

Knowledge leads to vision, O knowing one: if it (knowledge) became (intuitive) certainty, they would see Hell.

می‌کشد دانش ببینش ای علیم ** گر یقین گشتی ببینندی جحیم

Vision is immediately born of certainty, just as fancy is born of opinion.

دید زاید از یقین بی امتهال ** آنچنانک از ظن می‌زاید خیال

See in Alhákum the explanation of this, (namely), that the knowledge of certainty becomes the intuition of certainty. 4125

اندر الهیکم بیان این ببین ** که شود علم الیقین عین الیقین

“I am higher than opinion and certainty, and my head is not to be turned aside by blame.

از گمان و از یقین بالاترم ** وز ملامت بر نمی‌گردد سرم

Since my mouth ate of His sweetmeat, I have become clear-eyed and a seer of Him.

چون دهانم خورد از حلوای او ** چشم‌روشن گشتم و بینای او

I step boldly when I go (to my spiritual) home: I do not let my feet tremble, I do not walk like the blind.

پا نهم گستاخ چون خانه روم ** پا نلرزانم نه کورانه روم

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh (in full-blown beauty), He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more (beautiful).

آنچ گل را گفت حق خندانش کرد ** با دل من گفت و صد چندانش کرد

(He bestowed on my heart) that which touched the cypress and made its stature straight, and that of which the narcissus and wild-rose partook; 4130

آنچ زد بر سرو و قدش راست کرد ** و آنچ از وی نرگس و نسرین بخورد

That which made sweet the soul and heart of the sugar-cane, and that from which the creature of earth gained the form of Chigil;

آنچ نی را کرد شیرین جان و دل ** و آنچ خاکی یافت ازو نقش چگل

That which made the eyebrow so ravishing and made the face rose-coloured and (like) the pomegranate-flower;

آنچ ابرو را چنان طرار ساخت ** چهره را گلگونه و گلنار ساخت
