تا بود کز دیدهگان هفت رنگ ** دیدهای پیدا کند صبر و درنگ

کار کن در کارگه باشد نهان ** تو برو در کارگه بینش عیان

کار چون بر کار کن پرده تنید ** خارج آن کار نتوانیش دید 760

کارگه چون جای باش عامل است ** آن که بیرون است از وی غافل است

- Come, then, into the workshop, that is to say, non-existence, that you may see the work and the Worker together.

کارگه چون جای روشن دیدهگی است ** پس برون کارگه پوشیدگی است
- As the workshop is the place of clairvoyance, then outside of the workshop there is (only) blindfold ness.

رو به هستی داشت فرعون عنود ** لاجرم از کارگاهش کور بود
