  • مالک الملک است بدهد ملک حسن  ** یوسفی را تا بود چون ماء مزن 
  • He bestows upon one face the radiance of a star, so that a king becomes the slave of a girl.
  • در رخی بنهد شعاع اختری  ** که شود شاهی غلام دختری

  • The face of Moses shot forth a flashing beam: he hung a veil in front of his face.

  • The splendour of his face would have dazzled (men's) eyes as the emerald (blinds) the eyes of the deaf adder. 3060

  • He besought God that the veil might become a covering for that powerful Light.
  • او ز حق در خواسته تا توبره  ** گردد آن نور قوی را ساتره 
  • He (God) said, “Hark, make a veil of thy felt raiment, for the garment of gnosis can be trusted (to keep it safe),
  • توبره گفت از گلیمت ساز هین  ** کان لباس عارفی آمد امین 
  • Because that robe has become inured to the Light: the Light of the Spirit shines through its warp and woof.
  • کان کسا از نور صبری یافتست  ** نور جان در تار و پودش تافتست 
  • Nothing will be a (safe) repository (for it) except a mantle like this: nothing else can endure Our Light.
  • جز چنین خرقه نخواهد شد صوان  ** نور ما را بر نتابد غیر آن

  • Through the (Divine) omnipotence the bodies of (holy) men have gained ability to support the unconditioned Light.
  • از کمال قدرت ابدان رجال  ** یافت اندر نور بی‌چون احتمال 
  • His (God's) power makes a glass vessel the dwelling-place of that (Light) of which Sinai cannot bear (even) a mote.
  • آنچ طورش بر نتابد ذره‌ای  ** قدرتش جا سازد از قاروره‌ای 
  • A lamp-niche and a lamp-glass have become the dwelling-place of the Light by which Mt Qáf and Mt Sinai are torn to pieces.
  • گشت مشکات و زجاجی جای نور  ** که همی‌درد ز نور آن قاف و طور 
  • Know that their (the holy men's) bodies are the lamp-niche and their hearts the glass: this lamp illumines the empyrean and the heavens.
  • جسمشان مشکات دان دلشان زجاج  ** تافته بر عرش و افلاک این سراج 
  • Their (the heavens') light is dazzled by this Light and vanishes like the stars in this radiance of morning. 3070
  • نورشان حیران این نور آمده  ** چون ستاره زین ضحی فانی شده 
  • Hence the Seal of the prophets has related (the saying) of the everlasting and eternal Lord—
  • زین حکایت کرد آن ختم رسل  ** از ملیک لا یزال و لم یزل 
  • “I am not contained in the heavens or in the void or in the exalted intelligences and souls;
  • که نگنجیدم در افلاک و خلا  ** در عقول و در نفوس با علا 
  • (But) I am contained, as a guest, in the true believer's heart, without qualification or definition or description,
  • در دل مومن بگنجیدم چو ضیف  ** بی ز چون و بی چگونه بی ز کیف 
  • To the end that by the mediation of that heart (all) above and below may win from Me sovereignties and fortune.

  • I caused the steed of (My) mercy to gallop over the two worlds: I fashioned a very spacious mirror.
  • بر دو کون اسپ ترحم تاختیم  ** پس عریض آیینه‌ای بر ساختیم 
  • From this mirror (appear) at every moment fifty (spiritual) wedding-feasts: hearken to the mirror, but do not ask (Me) to describe it.”
  • هر دمی زین آینه پنجاه عرس  ** بشنو آیینه ولی شرحش مپرس 
  • The gist (of the discourse) is this, that he (Moses) made a veil of his raiment, since he knew the penetrativeness of (the light of) that Moon.
  • حاصل این کزلبس خویشش پرده ساخت  ** که نفوذ آن قمر را می‌شناخت 
  • Had the veil been (made) of anything except his raiment, it would have been torn to shreds, (even) if it had been (like) a solid mountain.
  • گر بدی پرده ز غیر لبس او  ** پاره گشتی گر بدی کوه دوتو
