زان شود عیسی سوی پاکان چرخ ** بد قفس‌ها مختلف یک جنس فرخ
Hence Jesus goes (ascends) to the holy ones of Heaven: the cages (bodies) were diverse, (but) the young birds (spirits) were of the same kind.
این قفس پیدا و آن فرخش نهان ** بی‌قفس کش کی قفس باشد روان 2965
This cage is visible, but the young bird in it is hidden (from sight): how should the cage be moving without a cage-carrier?
ای خنک چشمی که عقلستش امیر ** عاقبت‌بین باشد و حبر و قریر
Oh, blessed is the eye that is ruled by reason, (the eye) that discerns the end and is wise and cool.
فرق زشت و نغز از عقل آورید ** نی ز چشمی کز سیه گفت و سپید
Get (learn) the distinction between evil and good from reason, not from the eye that tells (only) of black and white.
چشم غره شد به خضرای دمن ** عقل گوید بر محک ماش زن
The eye is beguiled by the verdure on dunghills, (but) reason says, “Put it to my touchstone.”
آفت مرغست چشم کام‌بین ** مخلص مرغست عقل دام‌بین
The eye that sees (only) its (object of) desire is the bird's bane; reason, which sees the trap, is the bird's means of deliverance.
دام دیگر بد که عقلش در نیافت ** وحی غایب‌بین بدین سو زان شتافت 2970
(But) there was another trap which reason did not perceive; hence the inspiration which beholds the unseen sped in this direction.
جنس و ناجنس از خرد دانی شناخت ** سوی صورت‌ها نشاید زود تاخت
By reason you can recognise congener and non-congener: you ought not to run at once to (outward) forms.
نیست جنسیت به صورت لی و لک ** عیسی آمد در بشر جنس ملک
My being your congener is not in respect of (outward) form: Jesus, in the form of man, was (really) homogeneous with the angels
برکشیدش فوق این نیلی‌حصار ** مرغ گردونی چو چغزش زاغ‌وار
The celestial Bird (Gabriel) carried him up above this dark-blue fortress (vault) as the raven (carried) the frog.
قصه‌ی عبدالغوث و ربودن پریان او را و سالها میان پریان ساکن شدن او و بعد از سالها آمدن او به شهر و فرزندان خویش را باز ناشکیفتن او از آن پریان بحکم جنسیت و همدلی او با ایشان
Story of ‘Abdu ’l-Ghawth and his being carried off by the peris and staying among them for years, and how after (many) years he returned to his (native) town and his children, but could not endure to be parted from the peris, because he was really their congener and spiritually one with them.
