  • The body is like the astrolabe in respect of (the use of the latter in) calculation (of altitudes): it is a sign (for seekers) of the sun-like spirit.
  • تن چو اصطرلاب باشد ز احتساب  ** آیتی از روح هم‌چون آفتاب 
  • When the astronomer is not keen-sighted, an astrolabe-moulder is required,
  • آن منجم چون نباشد چشم‌تیز  ** شرط باشد مرد اصطرلاب‌ریز 
  • To make an astrolabe for him in order that he may gain some knowledge concerning the state of the sun.
  • تا صطرلابی کند از بهر او  ** تا برد از حالت خورشید بو 
  • The soul that seeks (to learn) the truth from the (bodily) astrolabe—how much should it know of the (spiritual) sky and sun?
  • جان کز اصطرلاب جوید او صواب  ** چه قدر داند ز چرخ و آفتاب 
  • You who observe (them) with the astrolabe of the eye are certainly very far short (of perfection) in your view of the (spiritual) world. 1905
  • تو که ز اصطرب دیده بنگری  ** درجهان دیدن یقین بس قاصری 
  • You have seen the (spiritual) world according to the measure of your eye, (and) where is the (spiritual) world (in relation to that)? Why, (then), have you twisted your moustache (so boastfully)?
  • تو جهان را قدر دیده دیده‌ای  ** کو جهان سبلت چرا مالیده‌ای 
  • The gnostics (mystics) possess a collyrium: seek it, in order that this eye which (now) resembles a river may become an ocean.
  • عارفان را سرمه‌ای هست آن بجوی  ** تا که دریا گردد این چشم چو جوی 
  • If a single mote of reason and consciousness is (remaining) with me, what is this melancholy madness and distracted speech?
  • ذره‌ای از عقل و هوش ار با منست  ** این چه سودا و پریشان گفتنست 
  • Since my brain is empty of reason and consciousness, how then am I at fault in this raving?
  • چونک مغز من ز عقل و هش تهیست  ** پس گناه من درین تخلیط چیست 
  • No; the fault is his, for he robbed me of my reason: in his presence the reason of all rational beings is dead. 1910
  • نه گناه اوراست که عقلم ببرد  ** عقل جمله‌ی عاقلان پیشش بمرد
