  • آنچنان که می‌رود تا غرب و شرق  ** بی ز زاد و راحله دل هم‌چو برق  4130

  • آنچنان که می‌رود شب ز اغتراب  ** حس مردم شهرها در وقت خواب 
  • As man's consciousness, wandering abroad whilst he is asleep, travels during the night to (remote) cities;

  • آنچنان که عارف از راه نهان  ** خوش نشسته می‌رود در صد جهان 
  • As the gnostic, sitting quietly (in one place), travels by a hidden track through a hundred worlds.

  • گر ندادستش چنین رفتار دست  ** این خبرها زان ولایت از کیست 
  • If he has not been endowed with power to travel like this, (then) from whom are (derived) these reports concerning that (spiritual) country?

  • این خبرها وین روایات محق  ** صد هزاران پیر بر وی متفق

  • یک خلافی نی میان این عیون  ** آنچنان که هست در علم ظنون  4135
  • Amongst these sources (authorities) there is no dispute, such as there is in (the case of) knowledge based on opinions.

  • آن تحری آمد اندر لیل تار  ** وین حضور کعبه و وسط نهار 
  • That (knowledge based on opinion) is (like) searching (for the direction of the Ka‘ba) in the dark night, while this (mystic knowledge) is (like) the presence of the Ka‘ba and midday.

  • خیز ای نمرود پر جوی از کسان  ** نردبانی نایدت زین کرکسان 
  • Arise, O (thou who resemblest) Nimrod, and seek wings from (holy) personages: thou wilt not get any ladder from these vultures.

  • عقل جزوی کرکس آمد ای مقل  ** پر او با جیفه‌خواری متصل 
  • The vulture is the particular (discursive) reason, O poor (-spirited) one: its wings are connected with the eating of carrion;

  • عقل ابدالان چو پر جبرئیل  ** می‌پرد تا ظل سدره میل میل 
  • (But) the reason of the Abdál (exalted saints) is like the wings of Gabriel: it soars, mile by mile, up to the shade of the lote-tree (in Paradise).
