هم در آن دم شد دراز و جان بداد ** هم‌چو گل درباخت سر خندان و شاد
Instantly he laid himself at full length (on the ground) and gave up the ghost: like the rose, he played away his head (life), laughing and rejoicing.
ماند آن خنده برو وقف ابد ** هم‌چو جان و عقل عارف بی‌کبد
That laughter remained with him as an endowment unto everlasting, like the untroubled spirit and reason of the gnostic.
نور مه‌آلوده کی گردد ابد ** گر زند آن نور بر هر نیک و بد
How should the light of the moon ever become defiled, though its light strike on everything good and evil?
او ز جمله پاک وا گردد به ماه ** هم‌چو نور عقل و جان سوی اله
Pure of all (defilements) it returns to the moon, even as the light of the spirit and reason (returns) unto God.
وصف پاکی وقف بر نور مه‌است ** تا بشش گر بر نجاسات ره‌است 1260
The quality of purity is an endowment (settled) on the light of the moon, though its radiance is (falling) on the defilements of the way.
زان نجاسات ره و آلودگی ** نور را حاصل نگردد بدرگی
Malignity does not accrue to the light of the moon from those defilements of the way or from pollution.
ارجعی بشنود نور آفتاب ** سوی اصل خویش باز آمد شتاب
The light of the sun heard (the call) Return! and came back in haste to its source.
نه ز گلحنها برو ننگی بماند ** نه ز گلشنها برو رنگی بماند
No disgrace remained with it from the ashpits, no colour remained with it from the rose-gardens.
نور دیده و نوردیده بازگشت ** ماند در سودای او صحرا و دشت
The light of the eye and the seer of the light returned (to their source): the desert and plain were left in passionate desire thereof.
یکی پرسید از عالمی عارفی کی اگر در نماز کسی بگرید به آواز و آه کند و نوحه کند نمازش باطل شود جواب گفت کی نام آن آب دیده است تا آن گرینده چه دیده است اگر شوق خدا دیده است و می‌گرید یا پشیمانی گناهی نمازش تباه نشود بلک کمال گیرد کی لا صلوة الا بحضور القلب و اگر او رنجوری تن یا فراق فرزند دیده است نمازش تباه شود کی اصل نماز ترک تن است و ترک فرزند ابراهیم‌وار کی فرزند را قربان می‌کرد از بهر تکمیل نماز و تن را به آتش نمرود می‌سپرد و امر آمد مصطفی را علیه‌السلام بدین خصال کی فاتبع ملة ابراهیم لقد کانت لکم اسوة حسنة فی‌ابراهیم
A certain man asked a mystic theologian, “If any one weep loudly during the ritual prayer and moan and lament, is his prayer rendered void?” He replied, “The name of those (tears) is ‘water of the eye’: consider what that weeper has seen: if he has seen (felt) longing for God or repentance for a sin and weeps, his prayer is not spoilt; nay, it attains perfection, for ‘there is no prayer without presence of the heart’; but if he has (inwardly) seen bodily sickness or the loss of a son, his prayer is spoilt, for the foundation of prayer is the abandonment of the body and the abandonment of sons, like Abraham, who was offering his son as a sacrifice in order to perfect his prayer and giving up his body to Nimrod's fire; and Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, was commanded (by God) to act after these manners: “follow the religion of Abraham.” “Verily ye have had a good example in Abraham.”
