نیست جنسیت به صورت لی و لک ** عیسی آمد در بشر جنس ملک
My being your congener is not in respect of (outward) form: Jesus, in the form of man, was (really) homogeneous with the angels

The celestial Bird (Gabriel) carried him up above this dark-blue fortress (vault) as the raven (carried) the frog.
قصه‌ی عبدالغوث و ربودن پریان او را و سالها میان پریان ساکن شدن او و بعد از سالها آمدن او به شهر و فرزندان خویش را باز ناشکیفتن او از آن پریان بحکم جنسیت و همدلی او با ایشان
Story of ‘Abdu ’l-Ghawth and his being carried off by the peris and staying among them for years, and how after (many) years he returned to his (native) town and his children, but could not endure to be parted from the peris, because he was really their congener and spiritually one with them.

‘Abdu ’l-Ghawth was a congener of the peri: for nine years he was flying about invisibly, like a peri.

جمله فرزندانش در اشغال مست ** خود نگفتندی که بابایی بدست
All his children were passionately absorbed in (worldly) occupations: they never said (thought) that they had a father (who might be alive).

He was the guest of his children for one month, and after that nobody saw any more of him.
