روزن جانم گشادست از صفا ** می‌رسد بی واسطه نامه‌ی خدا
The window of my soul is opened, and from the purity (of the Unseen World) the Book of God comes (to me) without intermediary.
نامه و باران و نور از روزنم ** می‌فتد در خانه‌ام از معدنم
The Book and the rain (of Divine grace) and the Light are falling through my window into my house from my (real and original) source.’’
دوزخست آن خانه کان بی روزنست ** اصل دین ای بنده روزن کردنست
The house that is without a window is Hell: to make a window, O servant (of God),is the foundation of the (true) Religion.

(If) thou regardest as the (only) light this (light of the sun), which the animals too have seen, what, then, is (the illumination signified in the text) “I bestowed honour on My Adam?”
من چو خورشیدم درون نور غرق ** می‌ندانم کرد خویش از نور فرق
“I am plunged in the Light, like the sun; I cannot distinguish myself from the Light
رفتنم سوی نماز و آن خلا ** بهر تعلیمست ره مر خلق را

کژ نهم تا راست گردد این جهان ** حرب خدعه این بود ای پهلوان2410
I put (things) crooked in order that this world may become straight”: this is (the meaning of) “War is deceit,” O paladin.
نیست دستوری و گر نه ریختی ** گرد از دریای راز انگیختی
There is not permission (for me to say more); otherwise, he (David) would have poured out (the whole matter) and would have raised dust from the sea of the mystery.
