  • رو سپید از قوت بلغم بود ** باشد از سودا که رو ادهم بود
  • The face is white from the power of the phlegm; ’tis from the black bile that the face is swarthy.

  • در حقیقت خالق آثار اوست ** لیک جز علت نبیند اهل پوست
  • In reality He (God) is the creator of effects, but followers of the husk (formalists) see nothing but the (secondary) cause.

  • مغز کو از پوستها آواره نیست ** از طبیب و علت او را چاره نیست 3575
  • The kernel (intellect) that is not separated from the husks has no means (of escape) from doctor and disease;

  • چون دوم بار آدمی‌زاده بزاد ** پای خود بر فرق علتها نهاد
  • (But) when a son of man is born twice, he plants his foot upon the head of (all) causes:

  • علت اولی نباشد دین او ** علت جزوی ندارد کین او
  • The First Cause is not his religion; the particular (secondary) cause has no enmity against him (does him no harm).

  • می‌پرد چون آفتاب اندر افق ** با عروس صدق و صورت چون تتق
  • He flies, like the sun, in the (spiritual) horizon with the bride, sincerity; and (material) form (is) as a veil (for him).

  • بلک بیرون از افق وز چرخها ** بی مکان باشد چو ارواح و نهی
  • Nay, beyond horizons and skies he is without locality, like spirits and intelligences.

  • مجتهد هر گه که باشد نص‌شناس ** اندر آن صورت نیندیشد قیاس
  • Whenever the mujtahid (legist) knows a Statute, in that case he will not think of (employing) analogy;

  • چون نیابد نص اندر صورتی ** از قیاس آنجا نماید عبرتی
  • (But) in a case where he does not find a Statute, there he will produce an example from analogy.

  • تشبیه نص با قیاس
  • Comparison between Statute and analogy.

  • نص وحی روح قدسی دان یقین ** وان قیاس عقل جزوی تحت این
  • Know for sure that Statute is the Revelation of the Holy Spirit and that the analogy made by the individual intellect is under (subordinate to) this.

  • عقل از جان گشت با ادراک و فر ** روح او را کی شود زیر نظر
  • The intellect is endued with apprehension and enlightenment by the Spirit: how should the Spirit become subject to its supervision?

  • لیک جان در عقل تاثیری کند ** زان اثر آن عقل تدبیری کند 3585
  • But the Spirit makes an impression on the intellect, and in consequence of that impression the intellect exercises a certain governance.

  • نوح‌وار ار صدقی زد در تو روح ** کو یم و کشتی و کو طوفان نوح
  • If the Spirit has declared a belief in you, as (in) Noah, where is the Sea and the Ship (Ark) and the Flood of Noah?

  • عقل اثر را روح پندارد ولیک ** نور خور از قرص خور دورست نیک
  • The intellect deems the impression to be the Spirit, but the light of the sun is very far from (being) the orb of the sun.

  • زان به قرصی سالکی خرسند شد ** تا ز نورش سوی قرص افکند شد
  • Hence a pilgrim (on the Mystic Way) is content with a loaf of bread (qursí), in order that by its light he may be thrown (directed) towards the (Divine) Orb (Qurs),

  • While he that has his abode and dwelling-place in the (Divine) Orb is plunged in that Light continually.

  • نه سحابش ره زند خود نه غروب ** وا رهید او از فراق سینه کوب
  • Neither does cloud waylay him nor setting (of the sun): he is delivered from heart-wringing separation.

  • این‌چنین کس اصلش از افلاک بود ** یا مبدل گشت گر از خاک بود
  • Such a person's origin was from the heavens, or if he was of the earth, he has been transmuted,

  • زانک خاکی را نباشد تاب آن ** که زند بر وی شعاعش جاودان
  • Because a creature of earth cannot endure that its (the Sun's) beams should strike upon it everlastingly.

  • گر زند بر خاک دایم تاب خور ** آنچنان سوزد که ناید زو ثمر
  • If the radiance of the sun strike upon the earth continually, it will be burned in such wise that no fruits will come from it.

  • دایم اندر آب کار ماهی است ** مار را با او کجا همراهی است 3595
