Rumi's Masnavi - The seal impressed on his wax is telling of the seal-ring; of whom, again, does the device tell, (which is) graven on the stone of the ring?

The seal impressed on his wax is telling of the seal-ring; of whom, again, does the device tell, (which is) graven on the stone of the ring? 1325

مهر مومش حاکی انگشتری است ** باز آن نقش نگین حاکی کیست‏

It tells of the thought of the Goldsmith—(all this) is a chain, every link (inserted) in another.

حاکی اندیشه‏ی آن زرگر است ** سلسله‏ی هر حلقه اندر دیگر است‏

Whose voice is this echo in the mountains of (our) hearts? Sometimes this mountain is full of the voice, sometimes it is empty.

این صدا در کوه دلها بانگ کی ست ** گه پرست از بانگ این که گه تهی است‏

Wheresoever he is, he is the Sage, the Master—may his voice not forsake this mountain!

هر کجا هست او حکیم است اوستاد ** بانگ او زین کوه دل خالی مباد

There is a mountain that (only) doubles the voice; there is a mountain that makes it hundredfold.

هست که کاوا مثنا می‏کند ** هست که کآواز صد تا می‏کند

At that voice and speech the mountain lets gush forth hundreds of thousands of springs of clear water. 1330

می‏زهاند کوه از آن آواز و قال ** صد هزاران چشمه‏ی آب زلال‏

Inasmuch as that grace emanates (even) from the mountain, the waters in the springs become blood.

چون ز کوه آن لطف بیرون می‏شود ** آبها در چشمه‏ها خون می‏شود

’Twas on account of that monarch of auspicious gait that Mount Sinai was (turned to) rubies from end to end.

ز آن شهنشاه همایون نعل بود ** که سراسر طور سینا لعل بود

(All) the parts of the mountain received life and intelligence— after all, are we inferior to stone, O people?

جان پذیرفت و خرد اجزای کوه ** ما کم از سنگیم آخر ای گروه‏

Neither is there gushing from the soul a single spring, nor is the body becoming one of those clad in green;

نه ز جان یک چشمه جوشان می‏شود ** نه بدن از سبز پوشان می‏شود
