  • Were it not for the reflexion (effect) of snow-weaving (chilling) ignorance, that Mount Qáf would be consumed by the fire of longing.
  • گر نبودی عکس جهل برف‌باف ** سوختی از نار شوق آن کوه قاف

  • The Fire (of Hell) in sooth is (only) an atom of God's wrath; it is (only) a whip to threaten the base.
  • آتش از قهر خدا خود ذره‌ایست ** بهر تهدید لیمان دره‌ایست

  • Notwithstanding such a wrath, which is mighty and surpassing all, observe that the coolness of His clemency is prior to it.
  • با چنین قهری که زفت و فایق است ** برد لطفش بین که بر وی سابق است

  • (’Tis) a spiritual priority, unqualified and unconditioned. Have you seen the prior and the posterior without duality (have you seen them to be one)?
  • سبق بی‌چون و چگونه‌ی معنوی ** سابق و مسبوق دیدی بی‌دوی

  • If you have not seen them (as one), that is because of feeble understanding; for the minds of God's creatures are (but) a single grain of that mine. 3745
  • گر ندیدی آن بود از فهم پست ** که عقول خلق زان کان یک جوست

  • Lay the blame on yourself, not on the evidences of the (true) Religion: how should the bird of clay reach the sky of the (true) Religion?
  • عیب بر خود نه نه بر آیات دین ** کی رسد بر چرخ دین مرغ گلین

  • The bird's lofty soaring-place is (only) the air, since its origin is from lust and sensuality.
  • مرغ را جولانگه عالی هواست ** زانک نشو او ز شهوت وز هواست

  • Therefore be dumbfounded without nay or yea, in order that a litter may come from (the Divine) Mercy to carry you.
  • پس تو حیران باش بی‌لا و بلی ** تا ز رحمت پیشت آید محملی

  • Forasmuch as you are too dull to apprehend these wonders (of God), if you say “yea” you will be prevaricating;
  • چون ز فهم این عجایب کودنی ** گر بلی گویی تکلف می‌کنی

  • And if you say “nay,” the “nay” will behead (undo) you: on account of that “nay” (the Divine) Wrath will shut your (spiritual) window. 3750
  • ور بگویی نی زند نی گردنت ** قهر بر بندد بدان نی روزنت
