  • Similarly all the five senses are passing (in movement) according to the will and command of the heart, like the spool (in the hand of a weaver).

  • All the five senses are moving and trailing their skirts (sweeping along) in whatever direction the heart indicates to them.
  • هر طرف که دل اشارت کردشان ** می‌‌رود هر پنج حس دامن کشان‌‌

  • Hand and foot are plainly under command of the heart, like the staff in the hand of Moses.

  • If the heart will, at once the foot begins to dance, or flees from defect towards increase.
  • دل بخواهد پا در آید زو به رقص ** یا گریزد سوی افزونی ز نقص‌‌

  • If the heart will, the hand comes to terms with the fingers to write a book. 3570
