Absolutely, indeed, that voice is from the King (God), though it be from the larynx of God's servant.
مطلق آن آواز خود از شه بود ** گر چه از حلقوم عبد الله بود
He (God) has said to him (the saint), “I am thy tongue and eye; I am thy senses and I am thy good pleasure and thy wrath.
گفته او را من زبان و چشم تو ** من حواس و من رضا و خشم تو
Go, for thou art (he of whom God saith), ‘By Me he hears and by Me he sees’: thou art the (Divine) consciousness (itself): what is the occasion (propriety) of (saying), ‘Thou art the possessor of the (Divine) consciousness’?
رو که بی‌‌یسمع و بی‌‌یبصر تویی ** سر تویی چه جای صاحب سر تویی
Since thou hast become, through bewilderment, ‘He that belongs to God,’ I am thine, for ‘God shall belong to him.’
چون شدی من کان لله از وله ** من ترا باشم که کان الله له
Sometimes I say to thee, ‘’Tis thou,’ sometimes, ‘’Tis I’: whatever I say, I am the Sun illuminating (all).1940
گه تویی گویم ترا گاهی منم ** هر چه گویم آفتاب روشنم
Wheresoever I shine forth from the lamp-niche of a breath (Divine word), there the difficulties of a (whole) world are resolved.
هر کجا تابم ز مشکات دمی ** حل شد آن جا مشکلات عالمی
The darkness which the (earthly) sun did not remove, through My breath that darkness becomes like bright morning.”
ظلمتی را کافتابش بر نداشت ** از دم ما گردد آن ظلمت چو چاشت
To an Adam He in His own person showed the (Divine) Names; to the rest He was revealing the Names by means of Adam.
آدمی را او به خویش اسما نمود ** دیگران را ز آدم اسما می‌‌گشود
Do thou receive His light either from Adam or from Himself: take the wine either from the jar or from the gourd (cup),
خواه ز آدم گیر نورش خواه از او ** خواه از خم گیر می‌‌خواه از کدو
For this gourd is very closely connected with the jar: the blessed gourd is not rejoiced (by the same causes) as thou art.1945
کاین کدو با خنب پیوسته ست سخت ** نی چو تو شاد آن کدوی نیک بخت
