شعله‌‌ها با گوهران گردان بود ** شعله آن جانب رود هم کان بود

The rays are circling with the substances (whence they spring): the ray goes (ultimately) in the direction where that (substance) is.

نور روزن گرد خانه می‌‌دود ** ز آنکه خور برجی به برجی می‌‌رود 750

The window-gleam runs round the house, because the sun goes from sign to sign of the zodiac.

هر که را با اختری پیوستگی است ** مر و را با اختر خود هم تگی است‌‌

Any one who has affinity with a star (planet) has a concurrence (of qualities) with his star.

طالعش گر زهره باشد در طرب ** میل کلی دارد و عشق و طلب‌‌

If his ascendant star be Venus, his whole inclination and love and desire is for joy;

ور بود مریخی خون‌‌ریز خو ** جنگ و بهتان و خصومت جوید او

And if he be one born under Mars, one whose nature is to shed blood, he seeks war and malignity and enmity.

اخترانند از ورای اختران ** که احتراق و نحس نبود اندر آن‌‌

Beyond the (material) stars are stars in which is no conflagration or sinister aspect,

سایران در آسمانهای دگر ** غیر این هفت آسمان معتبر 755

(Stars) moving in other heavens, not these seven heavens (which are) held in high regard,

راسخان در تاب انوار خدا ** نی بهم پیوسته نی از هم جدا

(Stars) immanent in the radiance of the light of God, neither joined to each other nor separate from each other.

هر که باشد طالع او ز آن نجوم ** نفس او کفار سوزد در رجوم‌‌

When any one's ascendant (fortune) is from those stars, his soul burns the infidels in driving (them) off.

خشم مریخی نباشد خشم او ** منقلب رو غالب و مغلوب خو

His anger is not (like) the anger of the man born under Mars—going upside down, and of such nature that it is (now) dominant and (now) dominated.
