His ignorance is the teacher to (all) knowledges, his injustice has become the right way for (all) justices.
جهل او مر علمها را اوستاد ** ظلم او مر عدلها را شد رشاد
He (the Sadr-i Jahán) took his (the lover’s) hand, saying, “This man whose breath has departed will (only) then come (to life) when I give him (spiritual) breath.
دست او بگرفت کین رفته دمش ** آنگهی آید که من دم بخشمش
When this man whose body is dead shall become living through Me (then) it will be My spirit that turns its face towards me.
چون به من زنده شود این مردهتن ** جان من باشد که رو آرد به من
By means of this spirit I make him possessed of high estate: (only) the spirit that I give sees (experiences) My bounty.
من کنم او را ازین جان محتشم ** جان که من بخشم ببیند بخششم
The unfamiliar (unprivileged) spirit does not see the face of the Beloved: (none sees it) except that spirit whose origin is from His dwelling-place.4680
جان نامحرم نبیند روی دوست ** جز همان جان کاصل او از کوی اوست
Butcher-like, I breathe upon this dear friend, in order that his goodly inward part may leave the skin.”
در دمم قصابوار این دوست را ** تا هلد آن مغز نغزش پوست را
He said, “O spirit that hast fled from tribulation, We have opened the door to union with Us; welcome!
گفت ای جان رمیده از بلا ** وصل ما را در گشادیم الصلا
O thou whose selflessness and intoxication is (caused by) Our Self, O thou whose being is incessantly (derived) from Our Being,
ای خود ما بیخودی و مستیات ** ای ز هست ما هماره هستیات
Now, without lip, I tell thee the old mysteries anew: hearken!
با تو بی لب این زمان من نو بنو ** رازهای کهنه گویم میشنو
(I tell thee silently) because those (bodily) lips are fleeing from (are unable to apprehend) this Breath (Word); it is breathed forth on the lip (bank) of the hidden River.4685
زانک آن لبها ازین دم میرمد ** بر لب جوی نهان بر میدمد
