  • These spiritual truths without (possessing) any (worldly) pomp and grandeur, have pomp and grandeur from the Ninth Heaven.
  • این معانی راست از چرخ نهم ** بی‏همه طاق و طرم طاق و طرم‏
  • The pomp and grandeur belonging to (the world of) creation is a borrowed (adventitious) thing; the pomp and grandeur belonging to the (world of) Command is an essential thing.
  • خلق را طاق و طرم عاریت است ** امر را طاق و طرم ماهیت است‏
  • For the sake of (earthly) pomp and grandeur they endure abasement; in the hope of glory they are happy in (their) abasement.

  • His “rising-place” (is only) in relation to His motes: His essence neither rose nor set.

  • I who am left behind (surpassed in eminence) by His motes am (nevertheless) in both worlds a sun without shadow.
  • ما که واپس ماند ذرات وی‏ایم ** در دو عالم آفتابی بی‏فی‏ایم‏
  • Still, I am revolving round the Sun—’tis wonderful; the cause of this is the majesty of the Sun. 1110
  • باز گرد شمس می‏گردم عجب ** هم ز فر شمس باشد این سبب‏
  • The Sun is acquainted with (all secondary) causes; at the same time the cord of (all secondary) causes is severed from Him.
  • شمس باشد بر سببها مطلع ** هم از او حبل سببها منقطع‏
  • Hundreds of thousands of times have I cut off (abandoned) hope—of whom? Of the Sun? Do you believe this?
  • صد هزاران بار ببریدم امید ** از که از شمس این شما باور کنید
  • Do not believe of me that I can endure to be without the Sun, or the fish to be without water;
  • تو مرا باور مکن کز آفتاب ** صبر دارم من و یا ماهی ز آب‏
  • And if I become despairing, my despair is the objective manifestation of the Sun's  work, O goodly (friend).
  • ور شوم نومید نومیدی من ** عین صنع آفتاب است ای حسن‏
  • How should the objective manifestation of the work be cut off from the very self of the Worker? How should any object of (contingent) being pasture on (derive existence from) aught but (Absolute) Being? 1115

  • او ز بحر عذب آب شور خورد ** تا که آب شور او را کور کرد
  • The Sea is saying, “Drink of my water with the right hand, O blind one, that thou mayst gain sight.”
  • بحر می‏گوید به دست راست خور ** ز آب من ای کور تا یابی بصر
  • Here “the right hand” is right opinion, which knows concerning (both) good and evil whence they are. 1120

  • توتیای کبریای تیز فعل ** داروی ظلمت کش استیز فعل‏
