  • The wretched philosopher being firmly convinced that the sky is an egg and the earth like its yolk,
  • چون حکیمک اعتقادی کرده است ** کاسمان بیضه زمین چون زرده است‌‌

  • Some one asked him how this earth remains, in the midst of this surrounding expanse of sky,
  • گفت سائل چون بماند این خاکدان ** در میان این محیط آسمان‌‌

  • Suspended in the air like a lamp, moving neither to the bottom nor to the top.
  • همچو قندیلی معلق در هوا ** نی به اسفل می‌‌رود نی بر علی‌‌

  • The philosopher said to him, “It remains in the air because of the attraction exerted by the sky from (all) six directions. 2485
  • آن حکیمش گفت کز جذب سما ** از جهات شش بماند اندر هوا

  • (The sky is) like a vault moulded (made) of lodestone: (the earth like) a suspended piece of iron remains in the middle.”

  • Said the other, “How should the pure sky draw the dark earth to itself?
  • آن دگر گفت آسمان با صفا ** کی کشد در خود زمین تیره را

  • Nay, it is repelling it (the earth) from (all) six directions: hence it (the earth) remains (suspended) amidst the violent winds (currents).”
  • بلکه دفعش می‌‌کند از شش جهات ** ز آن بماند اندر میان عاصفات‌‌

  • (Similarly), then, because of the repulsion exerted by the hearts of the perfect (saints), the spirits of Pharaohs remain in perdition.
  • پس ز دفع خاطر اهل کمال ** جان فرعونان بماند اندر ضلال‌‌

  • Therefore, through being rejected by this world and by that world, these lost ones have been left without either this or that. 2490
  • پس ز دفع این جهان و آن جهان ** مانده‌‌اند این بی‌‌رهان بی‌‌این و آن‌‌

  • If you turn away your head from the (holy) servants of the Almighty, know that they are disgusted by your existence.
  • سرکشی از بندگان ذو الجلال ** دان که دارند از وجود تو ملال‌‌
