- From this mirror (appear) at every moment fifty (spiritual) wedding-feasts: hearken to the mirror, but do not ask (Me) to describe it.”
- هر دمی زین آینه پنجاه عرس ** بشنو آیینه ولی شرحش مپرس
- The gist (of the discourse) is this, that he (Moses) made a veil of his raiment, since he knew the penetrativeness of (the light of) that Moon.
- حاصل این کزلبس خویشش پرده ساخت ** که نفوذ آن قمر را می‌شناخت
- Had the veil been (made) of anything except his raiment, it would have been torn to shreds, (even) if it had been (like) a solid mountain.
- گر بدی پرده ز غیر لبس او ** پاره گشتی گر بدی کوه دوتو
- It (the Light) would penetrate through iron walls: what contrivance could the veil employ against the Light of God? 3080
- ز آهنین دیوارها نافذ شدی ** توبره با نور حق چه فن زدی
- That veil had become glowing: it was the mantle of a gnostic in the moment of ecstasy.
- گشته بود آن توبره صاحب تفی ** بود وقت شور خرقه‌ی عارفی
- The fire is deposited (becomes immanent) in the tinder because it (the tinder) is already familiar with the fire.
- زان شود آتش رهین سوخته ** کوست با آتش ز پیش آموخته
- And in sooth Safúrá, from desire and love for that Light of true guidance, sacrificed both her eyes.
- وز هوا و عشق آن نور رشاد ** خود صفورا هر دو دیده باد داد
- At first she closed one eye and beheld the light of his (Moses') face (with the other); and that eye was lost.
- اولا بر بست یک چشم و بدید ** نور روی او و آن چشمش پرید
- Afterwards she could no longer restrain herself and (therefore) she opened the other (eye) and spent it on that Moon. 3085
- بعد از آن صبرش نماند و آن دگر ** بر گشاد و کرد خرج آن قمر
- Even so the (spiritual) warrior (first) gives away his bread; (but) when the light of devotion strikes on him, he gives away his life.
- هم‌چنان مرد مجاهد نان دهد ** چون برو زد نور طاعت جان دهد
