  • It sets it free, it wafts it away to its source, little by little, so that you do not see its wafting; 880

  • And our souls likewise this breath (of ours) steals away, little by little, from the prison of the world.
  • وین نفس جانهای ما را همچنان ** اندک اندک دزدد از حبس جهان‌‌

  • The perfumes of our (good) words ascend even unto Him, ascending from us whither God knoweth.
  • تا إلیه یصعد أطیاب الکلم ** صاعدا منا إلی حیث علم‌‌

  • Our breaths soar up with the choice (words), as a gift from us, to the abode of everlastingness;
  • ترتقی أنفاسنا بالمنتقی ** متحفا منا إلی دار البقا

  • Then comes to us the recompense of our speech, a double (recompense) thereof, as a mercy from (God) the Glorious;
  • ثم تاتینا مکافات المقال ** ضعف ذاک رحمة من ذی الجلال‌‌

  • Then He causes us to repair to (makes us utter) good words like those (already uttered), that His servant may obtain (something more) of what he has obtained. 885
  • ثم یلجینا الی امثالها ** کی ینال العبد مما نالها

  • Thus do they (our good words) ascend while it (the Divine mercy) descends continually: mayst thou never cease to keep up that (ascent and descent)!
  • هکذا تعرج و تنزل دایما ** ذا فلا زلت علیه قائما

  • Let us speak Persian: the meaning is that this attraction (by which God draws the soul towards Himself) comes from the same quarter whence came that savour (spiritual delight experienced in and after prayer).

  • The eyes of every set of people remain (turned) in the direction where one day they satisfied a (longing for) delight.
  • چشم هر قومی به سویی مانده است ** کان طرف یک روز ذوقی رانده است‌‌

  • The delight of (every) kind is certainly in its own kind (congener): the delight of the part, observe, is in its whole;
  • ذوق جنس از جنس خود باشد یقین ** ذوق جزو از کل خود باشد ببین‌‌
