689-698

  • Notwithstanding that this Spirit is so hidden, why is Reason so jealous of Him?
  • با چنین پنهانیی کین روح راست  ** عقل بر وی این چنین رشکین چراست 
  • O jealous one, from whom art thou hiding Him whose face is concealed by His light? 690
  • از که پنهان می‌کنی ای رشک‌خو  ** آنک پوشیدست نورش روی او 
  • This Sun goes with face uncovered: His face is veiled by the excess of His light.
  • می‌رود بی‌روی‌پوش این آفتاب  ** فرط نور اوست رویش را نقاب 
  • From whom art thou hiding Him, O jealous one? The sun (itself) cannot see a trace of Him.
  • از که پنهان می‌کنی ای رشک‌ور  ** که آفتاب از وی نمی‌بیند اثر 
  • (Reason says), “The jealousy in my body is (all) the greater because I desire to hide Him even from myself.
  • رشک از آن افزون‌ترست اندر تنم  ** کز خودش خواهم که هم پنهان کنم 
  • On account of the fire of fell jealousy I am at war with my own eyes and ears.”
  • ز آتش رشک گران آهنگ من  ** با دو چشم و گوش خود در جنگ من 
  • Since thou hast such a (mighty) jealousy, O my soul and heart, close thy mouth and leave off speaking. 695
  • چون چنین رشکیستت ای جان و دل  ** پس دهان بر بند و گفتن را بهل 
  • (Reason says), “If I keep silence, I fear that that Sun will rend the veil and (display Himself) from another quarter.”
  • ترسم ار خامش کنم آن آفتاب  ** از سوی دیگر بدراند حجاب 
  • In (keeping) silence our (inward) speaking (of Him) is (only) made more evident, since the desire (for manifestation) is increased by suppression.
  • در خموشی گفت ما اظهر شود  ** که ز منع آن میل افزون‌تر شود 
  • If the Sea roar, its roaring turns to foam and becomes the surge of “I desired to be known.”
  • گر بغرد بحر غره‌ش کف شود  ** جوش احببت بان اعرف شود
