Thou art glorified in Heaven, O conspicuous Sun: be thou also glorified on earth unto everlasting,
بر فلک محمودی ای خورشید فاش ** بر زمین هم تا ابد محمود باش
That the inhabitant of the earth may become one in heart and one in aim and one in nature with the sublime celestial.
تا زمینی با سمایی بلند ** یکدل و یکقبله و یکخو شوند
(Then) separation and polytheism and duality will disappear: in real existence there is (only) unity.
تفرقه برخیزد و شرک و دوی ** وحدتست اندر وجود معنوی
When my spirit (fully) recognises thy spirit, they (both) remember their being one in the past,3830
چون شناسد جان من جان ترا ** یاد آرند اتحاد ماجری
And on the earth become (as) Moses and Aaron, sweetly mingled like milk and honey.
موسی و هارون شوند اندر زمین ** مختلط خوش همچو شیر و انگبین
When it (my spirit) recognises (thy spirit) a little and (then) denies (it), its denial becomes a veil covering (the truth).
چون شناسد اندک و منکر شود ** منکریاش پردهی ساتر شود
Many a one who recognised (part of the truth) averted his face: that Moon was angered by his ingratitude.
پس شناسایی بگردانید رو ** خشم کرد آن مه ز ناشکری او
Hence the evil spirit became unable to recognise the spirit of the Prophet and turned on its heel.
زین سبب جان نبی را جان بد ** ناشناسا گشت و پشت پای زد
You have read all this: read (the Súra beginning with the words) Lam yakun, that you may know the obstinacy of that old infidel.3835
این همه خواندی فرو خوان لم یکن ** تا بدانی لج این گبر کهن
Ere the (bodily) form of Ahmad (Mohammed) displayed its glory, the description of him (in the Pentateuch and the Gospel) was a phylactery for every infidel.
پیش از آنک نقش احمد فر نمود ** نعت او هر گبر را تعویذ بود
