1137-1146

  • This speech and voice arose from thought; thou knowest not where is the sea of thought,
  • این سخن و آواز از اندیشه خاست ** تو ندانی بحر اندیشه کجاست‌‌

  • But since thou hast seen that the waves of speech are fair, thou knowest that their sea also is noble.
  • لیک چون موج سخن دیدی لطیف ** بحر آن دانی که باشد هم شریف‌‌

  • When the waves of thought sped on from (the sea of) Wisdom, it (Wisdom) made (for them) the form of speech and voice.
  • چون ز دانش موج اندیشه بتاخت ** از سخن و آواز او صورت بساخت‌‌

  • The form was born of the Word and died again, the wave drew itself back into the sea. 1140
  • از سخن صورت بزاد و باز مرد ** موج خود را باز اندر بحر برد

  • The form came forth from Formlessness and went back (thither), for Verily unto Him are we returning.
  • صورت از بی‌‌صورتی آمد برون ** باز شد که إنا إليه راجعون‌‌

  • Every instant, then, thou art dying and returning: Mustafá declared that this world is (but) a moment.
  • پس ترا هر لحظه مرگ و رجعتی است ** مصطفی فرمود دنیا ساعتی است‌‌

  • Our thought is an arrow (shot) from Him (Hú) into the air (hawá): how should it stay in the air? It comes (back) to God.
  • فکر ما تیری است از هو در هوا ** در هوا کی پاید آید تا خدا

  • Every moment the world is renewed, and we are unaware of its being renewed whilst it remains (the same in appearance).
  • هر نفس نو می‌‌شود دنیا و ما ** بی‌‌خبر از نو شدن اندر بقا

  • Life is ever arriving anew, like the stream, though in the body it has the semblance of continuity. 1145
  • عمر همچون جوی نو نو می‌‌رسد ** مستمری می‌‌نماید در جسد

  • From its swiftness it appears continuous, like the spark which thou whirlest rapidly with thy hand.
  • آن ز تیری مستمر شکل آمده ست ** چون شرر کش تیز جنبانی به دست‌‌
