  • A lamp-niche and a lamp-glass have become the dwelling-place of the Light by which Mt Qáf and Mt Sinai are torn to pieces.

  • حاصل این کزلبس خویشش پرده ساخت  ** که نفوذ آن قمر را می‌شناخت 
  • The gist (of the discourse) is this, that he (Moses) made a veil of his raiment, since he knew the penetrativeness of (the light of) that Moon.

  • گر بدی پرده ز غیر لبس او  ** پاره گشتی گر بدی کوه دوتو 
  • Had the veil been (made) of anything except his raiment, it would have been torn to shreds, (even) if it had been (like) a solid mountain.

  • ز آهنین دیوارها نافذ شدی  ** توبره با نور حق چه فن زدی  3080
