  • عقل را افغان ز نفس پر عیوب  ** هم‌چو بینی بدی بر روی خوب 
  • Reason was saying to him (the frog), “’Tis certain that congeniality is spiritual in origin and is not (derived) from water and clay (the outward form).”
  • عقل می‌گفتش که جنسیت یقین  ** از ره معنیست نی از آب و طین 
  • Take heed, do not become a worshipper of form and do not say this. Do not seek (to discover) the secret of congeniality in the (outward) form.
  • هین مشو صورت‌پرست و این مگو  ** سر جنسیت به صورت در مجو 
  • Form resembles the mineral and the stone: an inorganic thing has no knowledge of congeniality.

  • The spirit is like an ant, and the body like a grain of wheat which it (the ant) carries to and fro continually. 2955

  • The ant knows that the grains of which it has taken charge will be changed and become homogeneous with it.

  • One ant picks up (a grain of) barley on the road, another ant picks up a grain of wheat and runs away.

  • The barley does not hurry to the wheat, but the ant comes to the ant; yes (it does).
  • جو سوی گندم نمی‌تازد ولی  ** مور سوی مور می‌آید بلی 
  • The going of the barley to the wheat is (merely) consequential: (’tis) the ant, mark you, (that) returns to its congener.
  • رفتن جو سوی گندم تابعست  ** مور را بین که به جنسش راجعست 
  • Do not say, “Why did the wheat go to the barley?” Fix your eye on the holder, not on that which he holds in pawn. 2960
  • تو مگو گندم چرا شد سوی جو  ** چشم را بر خصم نه نی بر گرو 
  • (As when) a black ant (moves along) on a black felt cloth: the ant is hidden (from view), (only) the grain is visible on its way,
  • مور اسود بر سر لبد سیاه  ** مور پنهان دانه پیدا پیش راه 
  • (But) Reason says, “Look well to your eye: when does a grain ever go along without a grain-bearer?”
  • عقل گوید چشم را نیکو نگر  ** دانه هرگز کی رود بی دانه‌بر 
  • (’Twas) on this account (that) the dog came to the Companions (of the Cave): the (outward) forms are (like) the grains, while the heart (spirit) is (like) the ant.
  • زین سبب آمد سوی اصحاب کلب  ** هست صورتها حبوب و مور قلب

  • Oh, blessed is the eye that is ruled by reason, (the eye) that discerns the end and is wise and cool.
  • ای خنک چشمی که عقلستش امیر  ** عاقبت‌بین باشد و حبر و قریر 
  • Get (learn) the distinction between evil and good from reason, not from the eye that tells (only) of black and white.
  • فرق زشت و نغز از عقل آورید  ** نی ز چشمی کز سیه گفت و سپید 
  • The eye is beguiled by the verdure on dunghills, (but) reason says, “Put it to my touchstone.”
  • چشم غره شد به خضرای دمن  ** عقل گوید بر محک ماش زن 
  • The eye that sees (only) its (object of) desire is the bird's bane; reason, which sees the trap, is the bird's means of deliverance.
  • آفت مرغست چشم کام‌بین  ** مخلص مرغست عقل دام‌بین 
  • (But) there was another trap which reason did not perceive; hence the inspiration which beholds the unseen sped in this direction. 2970
  • دام دیگر بد که عقلش در نیافت  ** وحی غایب‌بین بدین سو زان شتافت

  • جنس و ناجنس از خرد دانی شناخت  ** سوی صورت‌ها نشاید زود تاخت 
  • My being your congener is not in respect of (outward) form: Jesus, in the form of man, was (really) homogeneous with the angels

  • Story of ‘Abdu ’l-Ghawth and his being carried off by the peris and staying among them for years, and how after (many) years he returned to his (native) town and his children, but could not endure to be parted from the peris, because he was really their congener and spiritually one with them.

  • (Inward) homogeneity with the peris carried him off, just as a spear-thrust ravishes the spirit (from the body). 2980

  • Since one who is destined for Paradise is (inwardly) homogeneous with Paradise, on account of homogeneity he also becomes a worshipper of God.

  • So that the people (present), nobles and commons alike, would hear the voices of the stars.
