1620-1629

  • What is (the meaning of) nidd? The like (mithl) of (something) good or bad. How should a like make its own like? 1620
  • ند چه بود مثل مثل نیک و بد  ** مثل مثل خویشتن را کی کند 
  • When there are two likes, O God-fearing man, why should this one be more fit than that one for (the purpose of) creating?
  • چونک دو مثل آمدند ای متقی  ** این چه اولیتر از آن در خالقی 
  • Opposites and likes, in number as the leaves of the orchard, are (but) as a flake of foam on the Sea that hath no like or opposite.
  • بر شمار برگ بستان ند و ضد  ** چون کفی بر بحر بی‌ضدست و ند 
  • Perceive that the victory and defeat of the Sea are unconditioned: how, (then), should there be room for conditionality in the essence of the Sea?
  • بی‌چگونه بین تو برد و مات بحر  ** چون چگونه گنجد اندر ذات بحر 
  • Your soul is the least of its playthings; (yet) how can the quality and description of the soul be ascertained?
  • کمترین لعبت او جان تست  ** این چگونه و چون جان کی شد درست 
  • Such a Sea, then, with every drop whereof the intellect and the spirit are more unfamiliar than the body— 1625
  • پس چنان بحری که در هر قطر آن  ** از بدن ناشی‌تر آمد عقل و جان 
  • How should it be contained in the narrow room of quantity and quality? There (even) Universal Reason is one of the ignorant.
  • کی بگنجد در مضیق چند و چون  ** عقل کل آنجاست از لا یعلمون 
  • Reason says to the body, ‘O lifeless thing, hast thou ever had a scent of the Sea whither all return?’
  • عقل گوید مر جسد را که ای جماد  ** بوی بردی هیچ از آن بحر معاد 
  • The body replies, ‘Assuredly I am thy shadow: who would seek help from a shadow, O soul of thy uncle?’
  • جسم گوید من یقین سایه‌ی توم  ** یاری از سایه که جوید جان عم 
  • Reason says, ‘This is the house of bewilderment, not a house where the worthy is bolder than the unworthy.’
  • عقل گوید کین نه آن حیرت سراست  ** که سزا گستاخ‌تر از ناسزاست
