  • اندکی من می‌خورم باقی شما  ** من سبب باشم شما را در نوا 
  • I will eat (only) a little, ye (shall have) the rest: I am the means (appointed) for you as regards (your supply of) food.

  • تشبیه کردن قطب کی عارف واصلست در اجری دادن خلق از قوت مغفرت و رحمت بر مراتبی کی حقش الهام دهد و تمثیل بشیر که دد اجری خوار و باقی خوار ویند بر مراتب قرب ایشان بشیر نه قرب مکانی بلک قرب صفتی و تفاصیل این بسیارست والله الهادی 
  • Parable of the Qutb (Pole), who is the gnostic united with God, in respect of his dispensing to the people their rations of forgiveness and mercy in the order and degree which God inspires him to observe; and a comparison of him with the lion, for the (smaller) wild animals partake of the lion's rations and eat his leavings in proportion to their nearness to him—not nearness in space but nearness in quality. The details of this (subject) are many, and God is the (best) Guide.

  • قطب شیر و صید کردن کار او  ** باقیان این خلق باقی‌خوار او 
  • The Qutb is (like) the lion, and it is his business to hunt: (all) the rest, (namely), these people (of the world), eat his leavings.

  • چو برنجد بی‌نوا مانند خلق  ** کز کف عقلست جمله رزق حلق 
  • When he is ailing, the people remain unfed, for all food provided for the gullet comes from the hand of reason,

  • زانک وجد حلق باقی خورد اوست  ** این نگه دار ار دل تو صیدجوست 
  • Since the ecstasies (spiritual experiences) of the people are (only) his leavings. Keep this (in mind), if your heart desires the (spiritual) prey.

  • او چو عقل و خلق چون اعضا و تن  ** بسته‌ی عقلست تدبیر بدن 
  • He is like the reason, and the people are like the members of the body: the management of the body depends on the reason.

  • ضعف قطب از تن بود از روح نی  ** ضعف در کشتی بود در نوح نی 
  • The weakness of the Qutb is bodily, not spiritual: the weakness lies in the Ship (Ark), not in Noah.

  • قطب آن باشد که گرد خود تند  ** گردش افلاک گرد او بود  2345
  • The Qutb is he who turns round himself, (while) round him is the revolution of the celestial spheres.
