Rumi's Masnavi - Vein by vein is this sweet water and bitter water, flowing in (God's) creatures until the blast of the trumpet (at the Resurrection).

Vein by vein is this sweet water and bitter water, flowing in (God's) creatures until the blast of the trumpet (at the Resurrection).

رگ رگ است این آب شیرین و آب شور ** در خلایق می‌‌رود تا نفخ صور

To the righteous is the inheritance of the sweet water. What is that inheritance? We have caused (those of Our servants whom We have chosen) to inherit the Book.

نیکوان را هست میراث از خوش‌‌آب ** آن چه میراث است أورثنا الکتاب‌‌

If you will consider, the supplications of the seekers (of God) are rays (proceeding) from the substance of prophethood.

شد نیاز طالبان ار بنگری ** شعله‌‌ها از گوهر پیغمبری‌‌

The rays are circling with the substances (whence they spring): the ray goes (ultimately) in the direction where that (substance) is.

شعله‌‌ها با گوهران گردان بود ** شعله آن جانب رود هم کان بود

The window-gleam runs round the house, because the sun goes from sign to sign of the zodiac. 750

نور روزن گرد خانه می‌‌دود ** ز آنکه خور برجی به برجی می‌‌رود

Any one who has affinity with a star (planet) has a concurrence (of qualities) with his star.

هر که را با اختری پیوستگی است ** مر و را با اختر خود هم تگی است‌‌

If his ascendant star be Venus, his whole inclination and love and desire is for joy;

طالعش گر زهره باشد در طرب ** میل کلی دارد و عشق و طلب‌‌

And if he be one born under Mars, one whose nature is to shed blood, he seeks war and malignity and enmity.

ور بود مریخی خون‌‌ریز خو ** جنگ و بهتان و خصومت جوید او

Beyond the (material) stars are stars in which is no conflagration or sinister aspect,

اخترانند از ورای اختران ** که احتراق و نحس نبود اندر آن‌‌

(Stars) moving in other heavens, not these seven heavens (which are) held in high regard, 755

سایران در آسمانهای دگر ** غیر این هفت آسمان معتبر
