  • The Light makes its abode in his eye and heart. Wherefore does it make (its abode there)? For love of home.
  • نور در چشم و دلش سازد سکن ** بهر چه سازد پی حب الوطن
  • (He is) like Joseph, who at first dreamed that the sun and moon bowed in worship before him:
  • هم‌چو یوسف کو بدید اول به خواب ** که سجودش کرد ماه و آفتاب
  • After ten years, nay, more, that which Joseph had seen came to pass.
  • از پس ده سال بلک بیشتر ** آنچ یوسف دید بد بر کرد سر
  • That (saying), ‘he sees by the Light of God,’ is not vain: the Divine Light rives the sky asunder. 3400
  • نیست آن ینظر به نور الله گزاف ** نور ربانی بود گردون شکاف
  • In thine eye that Light is not. Go! Thou art in pawn to the animal senses.
  • نیست اندر چشم تو آن نور رو ** هستی اندر حس حیوانی گرو
  • From weakness of eye thou seest (only) in front of thy foot: thou art weak and thy guide, too, is weak.
  • تو ز ضعف چشم بینی پیش پا ** تو ضعیف و هم ضعیفت پیشوا
  • The eye is the guide for hand and foot, for it sees (both) the right and the wrong place.
  • پیشوا چشمست دست و پای را ** کو ببیند جای را ناجای را
  • Another thing is that my eye is clearer; another, that my nature is purer,
  • دیگر آنک چشم من روشن‌ترست ** دیگر آنک خلقت من اطهرست
  • Because I am one of the lawfully begotten, not one of the children of adultery and the people of perdition. 3405
  • زانک هستم من ز اولاد حلال ** نه ز اولاد زنا و اهل ضلال
  • Thou art one of the children of adultery: without doubt the arrow flies crookedly when the bow is bad.”
  • تو ز اولاد زنایی بی‌گمان ** تیر کژ پرد چو بد باشد کمان
  • How the mule declared the replies of the camel to be true and acknowledged his (the camel's) superiority to himself and besought his aid and took refuge with him sincerely; and how the camel treated him with kindness and showed him the way and gave help in fatherly and kingly fashion.
  • تصدیق کردن استر جوابهای شتر را و اقرار کردن بفضل او بر خود و ازو استعانت خواستن و بدو پناه گرفتن به صدق و نواختن شتر او را و ره نمودن و یاری دادن پدرانه و شاهانه
  • The mule said, “Thou hast spoken the truth, O camel.” This he said and filled his eye with tears.
  • گفت استر راست گفتی ای شتر ** این بگفت و چشم کرد از اشک پر
  • He wept awhile and fell at his (the camel's) feet and said, “O chosen of the Lord of men,
  • ساعتی بگریست و در پایش فتاد ** گفت ای بگزیده‌ی رب العباد
  • What harm will it do if thou, by (favour of) thy blessedness, wilt receive me into thy service?”
  • چه زیان دارد گر از فرخندگی ** در پذیری تو مرا دربندگی
  • He (the camel) said, “Since thou hast made confession in my presence, go (in peace), for thou art saved from the contaminations of Time. 3410
  • گفت چون اقرار کردی پیش من ** رو که رستی تو ز آفات زمن
  • Thou hast given justice (hast made just amends) and art saved from tribulation: thou wast an enemy, thou hast become one of the leal.
  • دادی انصاف و رهیدی از بلا ** تو عدو بودی شدی ز اهل ولا
  • The evil disposition was not original (innate) in thy person; for from original evil comes naught but denial.
  • خوی بد در ذات تو اصلی نبود ** کز بد اصلی نیاید جز جحود
  • The borrowed (temporary) evil is such that he (in whom it appears) makes confession and desires to repent;
  • آن بد عاریتی باشد که او ** آرد اقرار و شود او توبه‌جو
  • Like Adam, whose lapse was temporary: of necessity he showed penitence at once.
  • هم‌چو آدم زلتش عاریه بود ** لاجرم اندر زمان توبه نمود
  • Since the sin of Iblís was original, for him there was no way to precious penitence. 3415
  • چونک اصلی بود جرم آن بلیس ** ره نبودش جانب توبه‌ی نفیس
  • Go, for thou art delivered from thyself and from the evil disposition and from the (flaming) tongue of the Fire and from the teeth of the wild beasts (of Hell).
  • رو که رستی از خود و از خوی بد ** واز زبانه‌ی نار و از دندان دد
  • Go, for now thou hast grasped felicity, thou hast thrown thyself into everlasting fortune.
  • رو که اکنون دست در دولت زدی ** در فکندی خود به بخت سرمدی
  • Thou hast gained (that which is signified by the words) Enter in amongst My servants; thou hast annexed (the implication of) Enter into My Paradise.
  • ادخلی تو فی عبادی یافتی ** ادخلی فی جنتی در بافتی
  • Thou hast made a way for thyself (to enter) amongst His servants; thou hast gone into Eden by the secret way.
  • در عبادش راه کردی خویش را ** رفتی اندر خلد از راه خفا
  • ‘Guide us,’ thou saidst, ‘in the straight path’: He took thy hand and led thee to the abode of bliss. 3420
  • اهدنا گفتی صراط مستقیم ** دست تو بگرفت و بردت تا نعیم
  • Thou wast fire: thou hast become light, O noble one; thou wast an unripe grape: thou hast become a (ripe) grape and raisin.
