1455-1464

  • ما ندیدیم این که آن نقش است و کف  ** کف ز دریا جنبد و یابد علف  1455
  • And this we did not perceive, that those are (mere) form and foam, (and that) the foam is moved and fed by the Sea.”
  • چونک بحر افکند کفها را به بر  ** تو بگورستان رو آن کفها نگر 
  • When the Sea has cast the foam-flakes on the shore, go to the graveyard and behold those flakes of foam!
  • پس بگو کو جنبش و جولانتان  ** بحر افکندست در بحرانتان 
  • Then say (to them), “Where is your movement and gyration (now)? The Sea has cast you into the crisis (of a deadly malady)”—
  • تا بگویندت به لب نی بل به حال  ** که ز دریا کن نه از ما این سال 
  • In order that they may say to you, not with their lips but implicitly, “Ask this question of the Sea, not of us.”
  • نقش چون کف کی بجنبد بی ز موج  ** خاک بی بادی کجا آید بر اوج 
  • How should the foam-like (phenomenal) form move without the wave? How should the dust rise to the zenith without a wind?
  • چون غبار نقش دیدی باد بین  ** کف چو دیدی قلزم ایجاد بین  1460
  • Since you have perceived the dust, namely, the form, perceive the wind; since you have perceived the foam, perceive the ocean of Creative Energy.
  • هین ببین کز تو نظر آید به کار  ** باقیت شحمی و لحمی پود و تار 
  • Come, perceive (it), for insight (is the only thing) in you (that) avails: the rest of you is a piece of fat and flesh, a weft and warp (of bones, muscles, etc.).
  • شحم تو در شمعها نفزود تاب  ** لحم تو مخمور را نامد کباب 
  • Your fat never increased the light in candles, your flesh never became roast-meat for any one drunken with (spiritual) wine.
  • در گداز این جمله تن را در بصر  ** در نظر رو در نظر رو در نظر 
  • Dissolve the whole of this body of yours in vision: pass into sight, pass into sight, into sight!
  • یک نظر دو گز همی‌بیند ز راه  ** یک نظر دو کون دید و روی شاه 
  • One sight perceives (only) two yards of the road; another sight has beheld the two worlds and the Face of the King.
