سگ شناسا شد که میر صید کیست ** ای خدا آن نور اشناسنده چیست2365
The dog has come to know who is the Master of the hunt. O God, what is that knowing light?
کور نشناسد نه از بیچشمی است ** بلکه این ز آن است کز جهل است مست
(If) the blind man knows it not, ’tis not from (his) having no eye (to see); nay, ’tis because he is drunken with ignorance.
نیست خود بیچشم تر کور از زمین ** این زمین از فضل حق شد خصم بین
Truly, the blind man is not more eyeless than the earth; and this earth, by the grace of God, has become a seer of (God's) enemies.
نور موسی دید و موسی را نواخت ** خسف قارون کرد و قارون را شناخت
It saw the Light of Moses and showed kindness to Moses; (but) Qárún it engulfed, (for) it knew Qárún.
رجف کرد اندر هلاک هر دعی ** فهم کرد از حق که یا أرض ابلعی
It quaked for the destruction of every false pretender: it understood (the words that came) from God, “O earth, swallow (thy water)!”
خاک و آب و باد و نار با شرر ** بیخبر با ما و با حق با خبر2370
Earth and water and air and sparking fire are unacquainted with us, but acquainted with God.
ما بعکس آن ز غیر حق خبیر ** بیخبر از حق و از چندین نذیر
Contrariwise, we are aware of (things) other than God, (but) unaware (heedless) of God and of so many warners (prophets).
لاجرم أشفقن منها جملهشان ** کند شد ز آمیز حیوان حملهشان
As a necessary consequence, they (the elements) all shrank from (accepting) it (the trust offered to them): (the edge of) their impulse to partake of life was blunted.
گفته بیزاریم جمله زین حیات ** کاو بود با خلق حی با حق موات
They said, “We all are averse to this life, (namely), that one should be living in relation to created beings and dead in relation to God.”
چون بماند از خلق گردد او یتیم ** انس حق را قلب میباید سلیم
When he (any one) remains away from created beings, he is orphaned (single): for intimacy with God, the heart must be free (from relations with aught besides).
