The (formal) Pilgrimage consists in visiting the House (of God), (but only) the Pilgrimage to the Lord of the House is worthy of a (true) man.15
حج زیارت کردن خانه بود ** حج رب البیت مردانه بود
I called thee Ziyá (Radiance) Husámu’ddín (Sword of the Religion) because thou art the Sun, and these two (words) are epithets descriptive (of the sun);
زان ضیا گفتم حسام‌الدین ترا ** که تو خورشیدی و این دو وصفها
For, mark you, this sword and this radiance are one: the sun's sword (beam) is certainly of the radiance.
کین حسام و این ضیا یکیست هین ** تیغ خورشید از ضیا باشد یقین
Núr (light) belongs to the moon, and this ziyá (radiance) belongs to the sun: read this in the Qur’án.
نور از آن ماه باشد وین ضیا ** آن خورشید این فرو خوان از نبا
The Qur’án has called the sun ziyá, O father, and it has called the moon núr. Consider this!
شمس را قرآن ضیا خواند ای پدر ** و آن قمر را نور خواند این را نگر
Since the sun is more exalted even than the moon, know, then, that ziyá is superior to núr in dignity.20
شمس چون عالی‌تر آمد خود ز ماه ** پس ضیا از نور افزون دان به جاه
Many a one did not see the way in the moonlight, (but) it became visible as soon as the sun rose.
بس کس اندر نور مه منهج ندید ** چون برآمد آفتاب آن شد پدید
The sun displayed (all) objects of exchange perfectly: of necessity, markets were (held) in the daytime,
آفتاب اعواض را کامل نمود ** لاجرم بازارها در روز بود
In order that the false coin and the good money might come into view, and that he (the merchant) might be far (immune) from swindling and trickery.
تا که قلب و نقد نیک آید پدید ** تا بود از غبن و از حیله بعید
(The sun rose) until its light came to perfection on the earth, a universal mercy to the traders;
تا که نورش کامل آمد در زمین ** تاجران را رحمة للعالمین
