عاقلان را چون بقا آمد ابد ** پس به معنی این جهان باقی بود

Since those endowed with (perfect) reason endure for ever, in reality this world is enduring for ever.

پس جهود آورد آنچ دیده بود ** تا کجا شب روح او گردیده بود

Then the Jew related his dream (and told them) whither his spirit had wandered during the night.

گفت در ره موسی‌ام آمد به پیش ** گربه بیند دنبه اندر خواب خویش

He said, “Moses met me on the way, (according to the adage) ‘the cat sees a fat sheep's tail in her dreams.’

در پی موسی شدم تا کوه طور ** هر سه‌مان گشتیم ناپیدا ز نور

I followed Moses to Mt Sinai: in the Light (of the Divine Epiphany) all three of us vanished.

هر سه سایه محو شد زان آفتاب ** بعد از آن زان نور شد یک فتح باب 2430

All (our) three shadows disappeared in the Sun; after that, there came from the Light an opening of the door (revelation).

نور دیگر از دل آن نور رست ** پس ترقی جست آن ثانیش چست

From the heart of that Light another Light sprang up, and then the second (Light) quickly sought to transcend it.

هم من و هم موسی و هم کوه طور ** هر سه گم گشتیم زان اشراق نور

Both I and Moses and also Mt Sinai, we were lost, all three, in that effulgence of the (second) Light.

بعد از آن دیدم که که سه شاخ شد ** چونک نور حق درو نفاخ شد

After that, I saw the mountain break into three pieces when the Light of God surged upon it.

وصف هیبت چون تجلی زد برو ** می‌سکست از هم همی‌شد سو به سو

When the Attribute of Majesty was revealed to it, it burst asunder in every direction.

آن یکی شاخ که آمد سوی یم ** گشت شیرین آب تلخ هم‌چو سم 2435

One piece of the mountain fell towards the sea, and the water bitter as poison was made sweet.
