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
Be, then, only dumbfounded and distraught, nothing else, that God's aid may come in from before and behind.
پس همین حیران و واله باش و بس ** تا درآید نصر حق از پیش و پس
When you have become dumbfounded and crazed and naughted, you have said with mute eloquence, “Lead us.”
چونک حیران گشتی و گیج و فنا ** با زبان حال گفتی اهدنا
It (the wrath of God) is mighty, mighty; but when you begin to tremble, that mighty (wrath) becomes assuaged and equable,
زفت زفتست و چو لرزان می‌شوی ** می‌شود آن زفت نرم و مستوی
Because the mighty shape is for (terrifying) the unbeliever; when you have become helpless, it is mercy and kindness.
زانک شکل زفت بهر منکرست ** چونک عاجز آمدی لطف و برست
How Gabriel, on whom be peace, showed himself to Mustafá (Mohammed), God bless and save him, in his own shape; and how, when one of his seven hundred wings became visible, it covered the horizon (on all sides), and the sun with all its radiance was veiled over.
نمودن جبرئیل علیه‌السلام خود را به مصطفی صلی‌الله علیه و سلم به صورت خویش و از هفتصد پر او چون یک پر ظاهر شد افق را بگرفت و آفتاب محجوب شد با همه شعاعش
