The strength of one becomes the strength of the rest: each one becomes a cupbearer to the rest.
قوت یک قوت باقی شود ** ما بقی را هر یکی ساقی شود
Seeing with the eye increases love; love increases penetration in the eye.
دیدن دیده فزاید عشق را ** عشق در دیده فزاید صدق را
Penetration (of sight) becomes the (means of) awakening (stimulating) every sense, (so that) perception (of the spiritual) becomes familiar to (all) the senses.
صدق بیداری هر حس میشود ** حسها را ذوق مونس میشود
The beginning of the gnostic's illumination by the Light which sees the invisible world.
آغاز منور شدن عارف به نور غیب بین
When one sense in (the course of its) progress has loosed (its) bonds, all the rest of the senses become changed.3240
چون یکی حس در روش بگشاد بند ** ما بقی حسها همه مبدل شوند
When one sense has perceived things that are not objects of sense-perception, that which is of the invisible world becomes apparent to all the senses.
چون یکی حس غیر محسوسات دید ** گشت غیبی بر همه حسها پدید
When one sheep of the flock has jumped over a stream, then they all jump across on each other's heels.
چون ز جو جست از گله یک گوسفند ** پس پیاپی جمله ز آن سو بر جهند
Drive the sheep, thy senses, to pasture: let them browse on (the pasture indicated in the text)—He who hath brought forth the herbage,
گوسفندان حواست را بران ** در چرا از أخرج المرعی چران
That there they may browse on hyacinth and wild-rose; that they may make their way to the garden of the Realities;
تا در آن جا سنبل و نسرین چرند ** تا به گلزار حقایق ره برند
(That) every sense of thine may become an apostle to the senses (of others), so that severally they may go towards that Paradise;3245
هر حست پیغمبر حسها شود ** تا یکایک سوی آن جنت رود
(And then those) senses will tell their secret to thy senses, without the proper meaning, without tongue, and without metaphor;
حسها با حس تو گویند راز ** بیزبان و بیحقیقت بیمجاز
