اندکی جنبش بکن همچون جنین ** تا ببخشندت حواس نور بین‌‌

اندکی جنبش بکن همچون جنین ** تا ببخشندت حواس نور بین‌‌ 3180

Stir a little, like the embryo, in order that thou mayst be given the senses which behold the Light,

وز جهان چون رحم بیرون روی ** از زمین در عرصه‌‌ی واسع شوی‌‌

And mayst go forth from this womb-like world and mayst go from the earth into a wide expanse.

آن که ارض الله واسع گفته‌‌اند ** عرصه‌‌ای دان کانبیا در رفته‌‌اند

Know that the saying, “God's earth is wide,” refers to an exceedingly sublime expanse belonging to the prophets.

دل نگردد تنگ ز آن عرصه‌‌ی فراخ ** نخل تر آن جا نگردد خشک شاخ‌‌

The heart is not oppressed by that spacious expanse: there the fresh boughs of the palm-tree do not become dry.

حاملی تو مر حواست را کنون ** کند و مانده می‌‌شوی و سر نگون‌‌

At present thou art bearing (the burden of) thy senses: thou art becoming weary and exhausted and (ready to fall) headlong.

چون که محمولی نه حامل وقت خواب ** ماندگی رفت و شدی بی‌‌رنج و تاب‌‌ 3185

Since, at the time of sleep, thou art borne (on high), and art not bearing (the burden), thy fatigue is gone and thou art free from pain and anguish.

چاشنیی دان تو حال خواب را ** پیش محمولی حال اولیا

Regard the time of sleep as a (mere) taste (sample) in comparison with the state in which the saints are borne (on high).

اولیا اصحاب کهفند ای عنود ** در قیام و در تقلب هم رقود

The saints are (like) the Men of the Cave, O obstinate one: they are asleep (even) in rising up and turning to and fro.

می‌‌کشدشان بی‌‌تکلف در فعال ** بی‌‌خبر ذات الیمین ذات الشمال‌‌

He (God) is drawing them, without their taking trouble to act, without consciousness (on their part), to the right hand and to the left.

چیست آن ذات الیمین فعل حسن ** چیست آن ذات الشمال اشغال تن‌‌

What is that right hand? Good deeds. What is that left hand? The affairs of the body.
