  • The shade of (one) “whose carnal soul is abased” is a pleasant place for reclining: it is a (good) sleeping-place for him that is predisposed to that (spiritual) purity.
  • ظل ذلت نفسه خوش مضجعیست ** مستعد آن صفا و مهجعیست

  • If thou go from this shade towards egoism, thou wilt soon become disobedient (to God) and lose the way.
  • گر ازین سایه روی سوی منی ** زود طاغی گردی و ره گم کنی

  • Explaining (the Verse), "O ye that believe, do not put (yourselves) forward in the presence of God and His Apostle." Since thou art not the Prophet, be one of the religious community; since thou art not the sovereign, be a subject.
  • بیان آنک یا ایها الذین آمنوا لا تقدموا بین یدی الله و رسوله چون نبی نیستی ز امت باش چونک سلطان نه‌ای رعیت باش پس رو خاموش باش از خود زحمتی و رایی متراش

  • Go therefore, be silent in submission beneath the shade of the command of the Shaykh and Master;
  • پس برو خاموش باش از انقیاد ** زیر ظل امر شیخ و اوستاد

  • Otherwise, though thou art predisposed and capable, thou wilt become deformed through boasting of (thy) perfection.
  • ورنه گر چه مستعد و قابلی ** مسخ گردی تو ز لاف کاملی

  • Thou wilt be deprived even of (thy good) predisposition, if thou rebel against the Master of the mystery who is endowed with knowledge. 3350
  • هم ز استعداد وا مانی اگر ** سر کشی ز استاد راز و با خبر

  • Do thou still have patience in cobbling; for if thou be impatient, thou wilt become a rag-stitcher.
  • صبر کن در موزه دوزی تو هنوز ** ور بوی بی‌صبر گردی پاره‌دوز

  • If the stitchers of old clothes had patience and forbearance, all of them too would become stitchers of new garments through (acquisition of) knowledge.
  • کهنه‌دوزان گر بدیشان صبر و حلم ** جمله نودوزان شدندی هم به علم

  • Thou strivest much, and at last even thou thyself sayest in weariness that the intellect is a fetter,
  • بس بکوشی و بخر از کلال ** هم تو گویی خویش کالعقل عقال

  • Like the philosopher (who) on the day of his death perceived his intellect to be very poor and feeble,
  • هم‌چو آن مرد مفلسف روز مرگ ** عقل را می‌دید بس بی‌بال و برگ

  • And in that hour disinterestedly confessed (the truth), saying, “(Impelled) by acuteness of mind we galloped in vain. 3355
  • بی‌غرض می‌کرد آن دم اعتراف ** کز ذکاوت راندیم اسپ از گزاف
