  • این همه چون و چگونه چون زبد  ** بر سر دریای بی‌چون می‌طپد 
  • All this conditionality is tossing like foam on the surface of the unconditioned Sea.

  • ضد و ندش نیست در ذات و عمل  ** زان بپوشیدند هستیها حلل 
  • In its (the Sea’s) essence and action there is neither opposite nor like: by it (alone) are (all) existences clothed in robes (of existence).

  • ضد ضد را بود و هستی کی دهد  ** بلک ازو بگریزد و بیرون جهد 
  • How should an opposite bestow being and existence on its opposite? Nay, it flees and escapes from it.

  • ند چه بود مثل مثل نیک و بد  ** مثل مثل خویشتن را کی کند  1620
  • What is (the meaning of) nidd? The like (mithl) of (something) good or bad. How should a like make its own like?

  • چونک دو مثل آمدند ای متقی  ** این چه اولیتر از آن در خالقی 
  • When there are two likes, O God-fearing man, why should this one be more fit than that one for (the purpose of) creating?

  • بر شمار برگ بستان ند و ضد  ** چون کفی بر بحر بی‌ضدست و ند 
  • Opposites and likes, in number as the leaves of the orchard, are (but) as a flake of foam on the Sea that hath no like or opposite.

  • بی‌چگونه بین تو برد و مات بحر  ** چون چگونه گنجد اندر ذات بحر 
  • Perceive that the victory and defeat of the Sea are unconditioned: how, (then), should there be room for conditionality in the essence of the Sea?

  • کمترین لعبت او جان تست  ** این چگونه و چون جان کی شد درست 
  • Your soul is the least of its playthings; (yet) how can the quality and description of the soul be ascertained?

  • پس چنان بحری که در هر قطر آن  ** از بدن ناشی‌تر آمد عقل و جان  1625
  • Such a Sea, then, with every drop whereof the intellect and the spirit are more unfamiliar than the body—

  • کی بگنجد در مضیق چند و چون  ** عقل کل آنجاست از لا یعلمون 
  • How should it be contained in the narrow room of quantity and quality? There (even) Universal Reason is one of the ignorant.
