Or (till) the speech of a (chosen) servant, which is part is part of (the speech of) him (the prophet), enter into the ear of him who is seeking inspiration.3035
یا کلام بندهای کان جزو اوست ** در رود در گوش او کو وحی جوست
The true believer's ear is retaining our inspiration: such an ear is closely linked to the caller (the perfect saint)—
اذن مومن وحی ما را واعیست ** آنچنان گوشی قرین داعیست
Just as (for example) the infant's ear is filled with its mother's words, (and then) it (the infant) begins to speak articulately;
همچنانک گوش طفل از گفت مام ** پر شود ناطق شود او درکلام
And if the infant have not a right (rightly-hearing) ear, it does not hear its mother's words and becomes a mute.
ور نباشد طفل را گوش رشد ** گفت مادر نشنود گنگی شود
Every one born deaf has always been dumb: (only) that one who heard (speech) from his mother became a speaker.
دایما هر کر اصلی گنگ بود ** ناطق آنکس شد که از مادر شنود
Know that the deaf ear and the dumb man are the result of a certain defect; for it (the deaf ear) is not capable of (hearing) words and being taught.3040
دانک گوش کر و گنگ از آفتیست ** که پذیرای دم و تعلیم نیست
The (only) one that possessed speech without being taught is God, whose attributes are separated (exempt) from infirmities,
آنک بیتعلیم بد ناطق خداست ** که صفات او ز علتها جداست
Or one like Adam whom God instructed without the screen (mediation) of mother and nurse and necessaries,
یا چو آدم کرده تلقینش خدا ** بیحجاب مادر و دایه و ازا
Or the Messiah (Christ) who, through being taught by the Loving (God), at his birth came speaking into the world,
یا مسیحی که به تعلیم ودود ** در ولادت ناطق آمد در وجود
For the purpose of repelling the suspicion as to his birth (and proving) that he was not born of fornication and wickedness.
از برای دفع تهمت در ولاد ** که نزادست از زنا و از فساد
