Since, from defect (of vision), you have called the Khwája ‘other’ (than God), be ashamed (contrite) before the jealous King, O man of double sight.3185
خواجه را چون غیر گفتی از قصور ** شرم‌دار ای احول از شاه غیور
Do not suppose the Khwája, who has passed beyond the aether (the ninth celestial sphere), to be homogeneous with these mice of darkness.
خواجه را که در گذشتست از اثیر ** جنس این موشان تاریکی مگیر
Regard the Khwája as spirit, do not regard him as gross body: regard him as marrow, do not regard him as bone.
خواجه‌ی جان بین مبین جسم گران ** مغز بین او را مبینش استخوان
Do not look at the Khwája with the eye of Iblís the accursed, and do not relate him (refer his origin) to clay.
خواجه را از چشم ابلیس لعین ** منگر و نسبت مکن او را به طین
Do not call the fellow-traveller of the Sun ‘a bat’: do not call him who was worshipped (by the angels) a worshipper (of the material).
همره خورشید را شب‌پر مخوان ** آنک او مسجود شد ساجد مدان
This (Khwája) resembles the (other) reflexions; but (in reality) ’tis not a reflexion, ’tis the appearance of God in the likeness of a reflexion.3190
عکس‌ها را ماند این و عکس نیست ** در مثال عکس حق بنمودنیست
He beheld a Sun and remained frozen no more: the oil of roses was no longer (mingled with) oil of sesame.
آفتابی دید او جامد نماند ** روغن گل روغن کنجد نماند
Since the Abdál (Lieutenants) of God have been transmuted, they are not (to be reckoned) among created beings: turn over a (new) leaf!
چون مبدل گشته‌اند ابدال حق ** نیستند از خلق بر گردان ورق
How should the qibla (object of worship), namely, the (Divine) Unity, be two? How should earth be worshipped by the angels?
قبله‌ی وحدانیت دو چون بود ** خاک مسجود ملایک چون شود
When a man sees the reflexion of apples in this river, and the sight of them fills his skirt with (real) apples,
چون درین جو دیدعکس سیب مرد ** دامنش را دید آن پر سیب کرد
