  • The one has thrown the cotton garments into the water, while the other partner is drying them.
  • آن یکی کرباس را در آب زد ** و آن دگر همباز خشکش می‌‌کند

  • Again the former makes the dry clothes wet: ’tis as though he were spitefully thwarting his opposite;
  • باز او آن خشک را تر می‌‌کند ** گوییا ز استیزه ضد بر می‌‌تند

  • Yet these two opposites, who seem to be at strife, are of one mind and acting together in agreement. 3085
  • لیک این دو ضد استیزه نما ** یکدل و یک کار باشد در رضا

  • Every prophet and every saint hath a way (of religious doctrine and practice), but it leads to God: all (the ways) are (really) one.
  • هر نبی و هر ولی را مسلکی است ** لیک تا حق می‌‌برد جمله یکی است‌‌

  • When slumber (heedlessness) overtook the concentration (attention) of the listener, the water carried the millstones away.
  • چون که جمع مستمع را خواب برد ** سنگهای آسیا را آب برد

  • The course of this water is above the mill: its going into the mill is for your sakes.
  • رفتن این آب فوق آسیاست ** رفتنش در آسیا بهر شماست‌‌

  • Since ye had no further need of the mill, he (the prophet or saint) made the water flow back into the original stream.
  • چون شما را حاجت طاحون نماند ** آب را در جوی اصلی باز راند

  • The rational spirit (the Logos) is (coming) to the mouth for the purpose of teaching: else (it would not come, for) truly that speech hath a channel apart: 3090
  • ناطقه سوی دهان تعلیم راست ** ور نه خود آن نطق را جویی جداست‌‌

  • It is moving without noise and without repetitions (of sound) to the rose-gardens beneath which are the rivers.
  • می‌‌رود بی‌‌بانگ و بی‌‌تکرارها ** تحتها الأنهار تا گلزارها

  • O God, do Thou reveal to the soul that place where speech is growing without letters,
  • ای خدا جان را تو بنما آن مقام ** کاندر او بی‌‌حرف می‌‌روید کلام‌‌
