He (God) removed strabism from their eyes, so that the earth became identical with the azure heavens.2265
احولی از چشم ایشان دور کرد ** تا زمین شد عین چرخ لاژورد
He said, “There is no god,” and He said, “except God”: not (any god) became except God, and Unity blossomed forth (was revealed).
لا اله گفت و الا الله گفت ** گشت لا الا الله و وحدت شکفت
The time has come for that righteous beloved and dear friend (of God) to pull my ear (and lead me)
آن حبیب و آن خلیل با رشد ** وقت آن آمد که گوش ما کشد
Towards the fountain (of Unity), saying, “Wash thy mouth clean of these things: do not tell that which we have concealed from the people.
سوی چشمه که دهان زینها بشو ** آنچ پوشیدیم از خلقان مگو
And if thou tell (it), it will not become manifest, (yet) thou wilt be guilty of attempting to reveal it.
ور بگویی خود نگردد آشکار ** تو به قصد کشف گردی جرم‌دار
But, mark, I am compassing them about: I am at once the speaker and the hearer of this (mystery).2270
لیک من اینک بریشان می‌تنم ** قایل این سامع این هم منم
Tell (only) of the (outward) form of the dervish and the picture (external description) of the treasure. These folk are addicted to (worldly) trouble: tell (them) of trouble.
صورت درویش و نقش گنج گو ** رنج کیش‌اند این گروه از رنج گو
The fountain of Mercy has become unlawful to them: they are drinking cup after cup of deadly poison.
چشمه‌ی راحت بریشان شد حرام ** می‌خورند از زهر قاتل جام‌جام
Having filled their skirts with clods, they are taking them along in order to make a dam for these fountains.
خاکها پر کرده دامن می‌کشند ** تا کنند این چشمه‌ها را خشک‌بند
How should this fountain, which is replenished by the Sea, be stopped up by this good or bad folk’s handful of earth?
کی شود این چشمه‌ی دریامدد ** مکتنس زین مشت خاک نیک و بد
