  • تو شدی غافل ز عقلت عقل نی ** کز حضورستش ملامت کردنی
  • You forgot your intellect, your intellect did not (forget you), since that act of rebuke is the result of its presence (attention).

  • گر نبودی حاضر و غافل بدی ** در ملامت کی ترا سیلی زدی
  • If it had not been present (attentive) and had been heedless, how should it have slapped you in rebuke?

  • ور ازو غافل نبودی نفس تو ** کی چنان کردی جنون و تفس تو
  • And if your carnal soul had not been inattentive to it, how should your madness and heat have acted thus?

  • پس تو و عقلت چو اصطرلاب بود ** زین بدانی قرب خورشید وجود 3685
  • Hence you and your intellect are like the astrolabe: by this means you may know the nearness of the Sun of existence.

  • قرب بی‌چونست عقلت را به تو ** نیست چپ و راست و پس یا پیش رو
  • Your intellect is indescribably near to you: it is neither to the left nor to the right nor behind nor in front.

  • قرب بی‌چون چون نباشد شاه را ** که نیابد بحث عقل آن راه را
  • How (then) should not the King be indescribably near? for intellectual search cannot find the way (to Him).

  • نیست آن جنبش که در اصبع تراست ** پیش اصبع یا پسش یا چپ و راست
  • The motion that you have in your finger is not in front of your finger or behind it or to the left or to the right.

  • وقت خواب و مرگ از وی می‌رود ** وقت بیداری قرینش می‌شود
  • At the time of sleep and death it (the motion) goes from it (the finger); at the time of waking it rejoins it.

  • از چه ره می‌آید اندر اصبعت ** که اصبعت بی او ندارد منفعت 3690
  • By what way doth it come into your finger, (that motion) without which your finger hath no use?

  • نور چشم و مردمک در دیده‌ات ** از چه ره آمد به غیر شش جهت
  • The light of the eye and pupil, by what other way than the six directions doth it come into your eye?
