این ستارهی بیجهت تاثیر او ** میزند بر گوشهای وحیجو 105
The impression made by this star (which is) beyond locality strikes (only) on ears that seek inspiration,
کی بیایید از جهت تا بیجهات ** تا ندراند شما را گرگ مات
Saying, “Come ye from (the world of) locality to the world without spatial relations, in order that the wolf may not tear you to pieces in checkmate (utter discomfiture).”
آنچنان که لمعهی درپاش اوست ** شمس دنیا در صفت خفاش اوست
Since its pearl-scattering radiance is such (as has been mentioned), the sun of the present world may be described as its bat.
هفت چرخ ازرقی در رق اوست ** پیک ماه اندر تب و در دق اوست
The seven blue (celestial) spheres are in servitude to it; the courier moon is fevered and wasted away by it.
زهره چنگ مسله در وی زده ** مشتری با نقد جان پیش آمده
Venus lays her hand upon it to beseech (its favour); Jupiter comes forward to offer to it the ready money of his soul.
در هوای دستبوس او زحل ** لیک خود را مینبیند از محل 110
Saturn is eager to kiss its hand, but he does not regard himself as worthy of that honour.
دست و پا مریخ چندین خست ازو ** وآن عطارد صد قلم بشکست ازو
On account of it, Mars has inflicted so many wounds on his hands and feet; and on account of it Mercury has broken a hundred pens.
با منجم این همه انجم به جنگ ** کای رها کرده تو جان بگزیده رنگ
All these stars (planets) are at war with the astronomer, saying, “O thou who hast let the spirit go and hast preferred colour (vanity),
جان ویست و ما همه رنگ و رقوم ** کوکب هر فکر او جان نجوم
It is the spirit, and we all are (mere) colour and designs: the star (spark) of every thought in it is the soul of the (material) stars.”
فکر کو آنجا همه نورست پاک ** بهر تست این لفظ فکر ای فکرناک
Where is thought (in relation to it)? There all is pure light: this word “thought” is (used only) for thy sake, O thinker.
