چون زنی که بیست فرزندش بود ** هر یکی حاکی حال خوش بود

As, (in the case of) a woman who has twenty children, each (child) is telling of a (past) delight.

حمل نبود بی ز مستی و ز لاغ ** بی بهاری کی شود زاینده باغ 1805

There is no pregnancy without (past) rapture and amorous sport: how should the orchard produce (fruit) without a Spring?

حاملان و بچگانشان بر کنار ** شد دلیل عشق‌بازی با بهار

The pregnant (trees) and the children on their laps are evidence of dalliance with the Spring.

هر درختی در رضاع کودکان ** هم‌چو مریم حامل از شاهی نهان

Every tree (engaged) in suckling its children is impregnated, like Mary, by a King unseen.

گرچه صد در آب آتشی پوشیده شد ** صد هزاران کف برو جوشیده شد

Although in (boiling) water the heat of fire is concealed (from view), a hundred thousand bubbles froth upon it,

گرچه آتش سخت پنهان می‌تند ** کف بده انگشت اشارت می‌کند

And though the fire works very secretly, the froth indicates (its presence) with ten fingers.

هم‌چنین اجزای مستان وصال ** حامل از تمثالهای حال و قال 1810

In like manner (all) the parts of those intoxicated with union are pregnant with the (ideal) forms of (ecstatic) feelings and words.

در جمال حال وا مانده دهان ** چشم غایب گشته از نقش جهان

Their mouths remain gaping (in amazement) at the beauty of (that) ecstasy, (while) their eyes are absent (withdrawn) from the forms of this world.

آن موالید از زه این چار نیست ** لاجرم منظور این ابصار نیست

Those (spiritual) progenies are not (produced) by means of these four (elements); consequently they are not seen by these eyes.

آن موالید از تجلی زاده‌اند ** لاجرم مستور پرده‌ی ساده‌اند

Those progenies are born of (Divine) illumination; consequently they are covered (from sight) by a pure veil.
