2034-2043

  • Therefore ’tis not fitting that the stone should say “I,” (for) it is wholly darkness and in (the state of) death.
  • پس نشاید که بگوید سنگ انا  ** او همه تاریکیست و در فنا 
  • A Pharaoh said “I am God” and was laid low; a Mansúr (Halláj) said “I am God” and was saved. 2035
  • گفت فرعونی انا الحق گشت پست  ** گفت منصوری اناالحق و برست 
  • The former “I” is followed by God's curse and the latter “I” by God's mercy, O loving man;
  • آن انا را لعنة الله در عقب  ** وین انا را رحمةالله ای محب 
  • For that one (Pharaoh) was a black stone, this one (Halláj) a cornelian; that one was an enemy to the Light, and this one passionately enamoured (of it).
  • زانک او سنگ سیه بد این عقیق  ** آن عدوی نور بود و این عشیق 
  • This “I,” O presumptuous meddler, was “He” (God) in the inmost consciousness, through oneness with the Light, not through (belief in) the doctrine of incarnation.
  • این انا هو بود در سر ای فضول  ** ز اتحاد نور نه از رای حلول 
  • Strive that thy stony nature may be diminished, so that thy stone may become resplendent with the qualities of the ruby.
  • جهد کن تا سنگیت کمتر شود  ** تا به لعلی سنگ تو انور شود 
  • Show fortitude in (enduring) self-mortification and affliction; continually behold everlasting life in dying to self. 2040
  • صبر کن اندر جهاد و در عنا  ** دم به دم می‌بین بقا اندر فنا 
  • (Then) thy stoniness will become less at every moment, the nature of the ruby will be strengthened in thee.
  • وصف سنگی هر زمان کم می‌شود  ** وصف لعلی در تو محکم می‌شود 
  • The qualities of (self-)existence will depart from thy body, the qualities of intoxication (ecstasy) will increase in thy head (thy spiritual centre).
  • وصف هستی می‌رود از پیکرت  ** وصف مستی می‌فزاید در سرت 
  • Become entirely hearing, like an ear, in order that thou mayst gain an ear-ring of ruby.
  • سمع شو یکبارگی تو گوش‌وار  ** تا ز حلقه‌ی لعل یابی گوشوار
