  • 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
  • For this proper meaning admits of (different) interpretations, and this guesswork is the source of (vain) imaginings;
  • کاین حقیقت قابل تاویلهاست ** وین توهم مایه‏ی تخییلهاست‏
  • (But in the case of) that truth which is (perceived) from intuition, there is no room for any interpretation.
  • آن حقیقت را که باشد از عیان ** هیچ تاویلی نگنجد در میان‏
  • When every sense has become subject to thy sense, the heavenly spheres cannot avoid (obedience to) thee.
  • چون که هر حس بنده‏ی حس تو شد ** مر فلک‏ها را نباشد از تو بد
  • When a dispute takes place as to the ownership of the husk, the husk belongs to him who possesses the kernel. 3250
  • چون که دعویی رود در ملک پوست ** مغز آن کی بود قشر آن اوست‏
  • When there happens to be a quarrel about a load of straw, observe who is the owner of the grain.
  • چون تنازع در فتد در تنگ کاه ** دانه آن کیست آن را کن نگاه‏
  • The heavenly sphere, then, is the husk, and the light of the spirit is the kernel. This (sky) is visible, that (spirit) is concealed; (but) do not stumble on this account.
  • پس فلک قشر است و نور روح مغز ** این پدید است آن خفی زین رو ملغز
