So that the angels became beside themselves (in amazement) at his teaching, and gained from his glorification (of God) a holiness other (than they possessed before). 2650

تا ملک بی‌‌خود شد از تدریس او ** قدس دیگر یافت از تقدیس او

The revelation that appeared to them from Adam was not (contained) in the amplitude of their heavens.

آن گشادی‌‌شان کز آدم رو نمود ** در گشاد آسمانهاشان نبود

In comparison with the spaciousness of the range of that pure spirit (Adam), the expanse of the seven heavens became narrow.

در فراخی عرصه‌‌ی آن پاک جان ** تنگ آمد عرصه‌‌ی هفت آسمان‌‌

The Prophet said that God has said, ‘I am not contained at all in “high” and “low” (spatial dimensions);

گفت پیغمبر که حق فرموده است ** من نگنجم هیچ در بالا و پست‌‌

I am not contained in earth or heaven or even in the empyrean—know this for certain, O noble one;

در زمین و آسمان و عرش نیز ** من نگنجم این یقین دان ای عزیز

(But) I am contained in the true believer's heart: oh, how wonderful! If thou seekest Me, search in those hearts.’ 2655

در دل مومن بگنجم ای عجب ** گر مرا جویی در آن دلها طلب‌‌

He (God) said (also), ‘Enter among My servants, thou wilt meet with a Paradise (consisting) of vision of Me, O God-fearing one.’

گفت ادخل فی عبادی تلتقی ** جنة من رؤیتی یا متقی‌‌

The empyrean, notwithstanding its wide (far-extending) light, when it beheld that (spirit of Adam), was confounded.

عرش با آن نور با پهنای خویش ** چون بدید آن را برفت از جای خویش‌‌

Truly, the magnitude of the empyrean is very great, but who (what) is form when reality has arrived?

خود بزرگی عرش باشد بس مدید ** لیک صورت کیست چون معنی رسید

Every angel was saying (to Adam), ‘Before this (time) we had a friendship (with thee) on the face of the earth.

هر ملک می‌‌گفت ما را پیش از این ** الفتی می‌‌بود بر گرد زمین‌‌
