Rumi's Masnavi - Behold the alchemists of Heaven; hear at every moment the sound (of the words that come) from the (spiritual) makers of the philosophers' stone.

Behold the alchemists of Heaven; hear at every moment the sound (of the words that come) from the (spiritual) makers of the philosophers' stone.

کیمیاسازان گردون را ببین ** بشنو از میناگران هر دم طنین

They are designers in the celestial atmosphere; they are workers for me and thee. 3075

نقش‌بندانند در جو فلک ** کارسازانند بهر لی و لک

If thou dost not see the musky-bosomed people, behold this touch (laid upon thee), O night-blind (purblind) one.

گر نبینی خلق مشکین جیب را ** بنگر ای شب‌کور این آسیب را

At every moment the touch is (laid) upon thy apprehension: behold the plants ever springing up anew from thy earth!

هر دم آسیبست بر ادراک تو ** نبت نو نو رسته بین از خاک تو

Of this (sort) was Ibráhím son of Adham, who beheld in sleep, without veil, the unfolding of the spiritual Hindustán.

زین بد ابراهیم ادهم دیده خواب ** بسط هندستان دل را بی‌حجاب

(Therefore), of necessity, he burst the (worldly) chains asunder and dashed his kingdom to pieces and disappeared.

لاجرم زنجیرها را بر درید ** مملکت بر هم زد و شد ناپدید

The sign of beholding Hindustán is that he (who beholds it) starts up from sleep and becomes mad. 3080

آن نشان دید هندستان بود ** که جهد از خواب و دیوانه شود

He will scatter dust upon (worldly) plans and will burst the links of the chains (that bind him),

می‌فشاند خاک بر تدبیرها ** می‌دراند حلقه‌ی زنجیرها

Even as the Prophet said of the (Divine) light, that the sign thereof in (men's) breasts

آنچنان که گفت پیغامبر ز نور ** که نشانش آن بود اندر صدور

Is that he (who hath the light) withdraws from the abode of delusion and also turns back from the abode of joy.

که تجافی آرد از دار الغرور ** هم انابت آرد از دار السرور
