  • در عجوزه چیست که ایشان را نبود  ** که ترا زان نقشها با خود ربود 
  • What is there in the old woman that was not in them, so that she rapt thee away from those figures (and attracted thee) to herself?

  • تو نگویی من بگویم در بیان  ** عقل و حس و درک و تدبیرست و جان  145
  • (If) thou wilt not say (what it is), I will tell (thee) plainly: ’tis reason and sense and perception and consideration and soul.

  • در عجوزه جان آمیزش‌کنیست  ** صورت گرمابه‌ها را روح نیست 
  • In the old woman there is a soul that mingles (with the body): the pictured forms in the hot-baths have no (rational) spirit.

  • صورت گرمابه گر جنبش کند  ** در زمان او از عجوزه بر کند 
  • If the pictured form in the hot-bath should move, it would at once separate thee from the old woman.

  • جان چه باشد با خبر از خیر و شر  ** شاد با احسان و گریان از ضرر 
  • What is soul? (Soul is) conscious of good and evil, rejoicing on account of kindness, weeping on account of injury.

  • چون سر و ماهیت جان مخبرست  ** هر که او آگاه‌تر با جان‌ترست 
  • Since consciousness is the inmost nature and essence of the soul, the more aware one is the more spiritual is he.

  • روح را تاثیر آگاهی بود  ** هر که را این بیش اللهی بود  150
  • Awareness is the effect of the spirit: any one who has this in excess is a man of God.

  • چون خبرها هست بیرون زین نهاد  ** باشد این جانها در آن میدان جماد 
  • Since there are consciousnesses beyond this (bodily) nature, in that (spiritual) arena these (sensual) souls are (like) inanimate matter.

  • جان اول مظهر درگاه شد  ** جان جان خود مظهر الله شد 
  • The first soul is the theatre of the (Divine) court; the Soul of the soul is verily the theatre of God (Himself).

  • آن ملایک جمله عقل و جان بدند  ** جان نو آمد که جسم آن بدند 
  • The angels were entirely reason and spirit (till) there came a new Spirit of which they were the body.
