The mention of Moses has become a chain (obstruction) to the thoughts (of my readers), (for they think) that these are stories (of that) which happened long ago.
ذکر موسی بهر روپوشست لیک ** نور موسی نقد تست ای مرد نیک
The mention of Moses serves for a mask, but the Light of Moses is thy actual concern, O good man.
موسی و فرعون در هستی تست ** باید این دو خصم را در خویش جست
Moses and Pharaoh are in thy being: thou must seek these two adversaries in thyself.
تا قیامت هست از موسی نتاج ** نور دیگر نیست دیگر شد سراج
The (process of) generation from Moses is (continuing) till the Resurrection: the Light is not different, (though) the lamp has become different.
