On account of this humility shown by thee in coming down, God will bestow on thine eye true vision.
زین تواضع که فرود آیی خدا ** راست بینی بخشد آن چشم ترا
If true vision were easy and facile, how should Mustafá (Mohammed) have desired it from the Lord?
راست بینی گر بدی آسان و زب ** مصطفی کی خواستی آن را ز رب
He said, “Show (unto me) each part from above and below such as that part is in Thy sight.”
گفت بنما جزو جزو از فوق و پست ** آنچنان که پیش تو آن جزو هست
Afterwards go up the pear-tree which has been transformed and made verdant by the (Divine) command, “Be.”
بعد از آن بر رو بر آن امرودبن ** که مبدل گشت و سبز از امر کن
This tree has (now) become like the tree connected with Moses, inasmuch as thou hast transported thy baggage towards (hast been endued with the nature of) Moses.3570
چون درخت موسوی شد این درخت ** چون سوی موسی کشانیدی تو رخت
The fire (of Divine illumination) makes it verdant and flourishing; its boughs cry “Lo, I am God.”
آتش او را سبز و خرم میکند ** شاخ او انی انا الله میزند
Beneath its shade all thy needs are fulfilled: such is the Divine alchemy.
زیر ظلش جمله حاجاتت روا ** این چنین باشد الهی کیمیا
That personality and existence is lawful to thee, since thou beholdest therein the attributes of the Almighty.
آن منی و هستیت باشد حلال ** که درو بینی صفات ذوالجلال
The crooked tree has become straight, God-revealing: its root fixed (in the earth) and its branches in the sky.
شد درخت کژ مقوم حقنما ** اصله ثابت و فرعه فیالسما
The remainder of the story of Moses, on whom be peace.
باقی قصهی موسی علیهالسلام
For there came to him from the peremptory Revelation a message, saying, “Put crookedness aside now, and be upright.”3575
که آمدش پیغام از وحی مهم ** که کژی بگذار اکنون فاستقم
