  • The five (spiritual) senses are linked with one another, all these five have grown (are derived) from a sublime root (source).
  • پنج حس با همدگر پیوسته‏اند ** ز انکه این هر پنج از اصلی رسته‏اند

  • The strength of one becomes the strength of the rest: each one becomes a cupbearer to the rest.
  • قوت یک قوت باقی شود ** ما بقی را هر یکی ساقی شود

  • Seeing with the eye increases love; love increases penetration in the eye.
  • دیدن دیده فزاید عشق را ** عشق در دیده فزاید صدق را

  • Penetration (of sight) becomes the (means of) awakening (stimulating) every sense, (so that) perception (of the spiritual) becomes familiar to (all) the senses.
  • صدق بیداری هر حس می‏شود ** حسها را ذوق مونس می‏شود

  • The beginning of the gnostic's illumination by the Light which sees the invisible world.
  • آغاز منور شدن عارف به نور غیب بین‏

  • When one sense in (the course of its) progress has loosed (its) bonds, all the rest of the senses become changed. 3240
  • چون یکی حس در روش بگشاد بند ** ما بقی حسها همه مبدل شوند

  • When one sense has perceived things that are not objects of sense-perception, that which is of the invisible world becomes apparent to all the senses.
  • چون یکی حس غیر محسوسات دید ** گشت غیبی بر همه حسها پدید

  • When one sheep of the flock has jumped over a stream, then they all jump across on each other's heels.
  • چون ز جو جست از گله یک گوسفند ** پس پیاپی جمله ز آن سو بر جهند

  • Drive the sheep, thy senses, to pasture: let them browse on (the pasture indicated in the text)—He who hath brought forth the herbage,
  • گوسفندان حواست را بران ** در چرا از أخرج المرعی‏ چران‏

  • That there they may browse on hyacinth and wild-rose; that they may make their way to the garden of the Realities;
  • تا در آن جا سنبل و نسرین چرند ** تا به گلزار حقایق ره برند

  • (That) every sense of thine may become an apostle to the senses (of others), so that severally they may go towards that Paradise; 3245
  • هر حست پیغمبر حسها شود ** تا یکایک سوی آن جنت رود

  • (And then those) senses will tell their secret to thy senses, without the proper meaning, without tongue, and without metaphor;
  • حسها با حس تو گویند راز ** بی‏زبان و بی‏حقیقت بی‏مجاز

  • For this proper meaning admits of (different) interpretations, and this guesswork is the source of (vain) imaginings;
  • کاین حقیقت قابل تاویلهاست ** وین توهم مایه‏ی تخییلهاست‏

  • (But in the case of) that truth which is (perceived) from intuition, there is no room for any interpretation.
  • آن حقیقت را که باشد از عیان ** هیچ تاویلی نگنجد در میان‏

  • When every sense has become subject to thy sense, the heavenly spheres cannot avoid (obedience to) thee.
  • چون که هر حس بنده‏ی حس تو شد ** مر فلک‏ها را نباشد از تو بد

  • When a dispute takes place as to the ownership of the husk, the husk belongs to him who possesses the kernel. 3250
  • چون که دعویی رود در ملک پوست ** مغز آن کی بود قشر آن اوست‏

  • When there happens to be a quarrel about a load of straw, observe who is the owner of the grain.
  • چون تنازع در فتد در تنگ کاه ** دانه آن کیست آن را کن نگاه‏

  • The heavenly sphere, then, is the husk, and the light of the spirit is the kernel. This (sky) is visible, that (spirit) is concealed; (but) do not stumble on this account.
  • پس فلک قشر است و نور روح مغز ** این پدید است آن خفی زین رو ملغز

  • The body is manifest, the (vital) spirit is concealed: the body is as the sleeve, the spirit as the hand.
  • جسم ظاهر روح مخفی آمده ست ** جسم همچون آستین جان همچو دست‏

  • Again, the intellect flies (moves) in a more occult manner than the (vital) spirit: (your mental) perception makes its way to (apprehends) the (vital) spirit sooner (than it apprehends the intellect).
  • باز عقل از روح مخفی‏تر بود ** حس سوی روح زوتر ره برد

  • (If) you see a movement, you know that he (who moves) is alive; (but) this you do not know, that he is full of intellect, 3255
  • جنبشی بینی بدانی زنده است ** این ندانی که ز عقل آگنده است‏

  • Until regulated movements appear, and he by means of knowledge turns the motion of copper into gold.
  • تا که جنبشهای موزون سر کند ** جنبش مس را به دانش زر کند

  • From manual actions being conformable (to reason) you may perceive that there is intellect (behind them).
  • ز آن مناسب آمدن افعال دست ** فهم آید مر ترا که عقل هست‏

  • The spirit (that partakes) of Divine inspiration is more concealed than the intellect, because it is of the Unseen: it belongs to that side.
  • روح وحی از عقل پنهان‏تر بود ** ز انکه او غیب است او ز ان سر بود

  • The intellect of Ahmad (Mohammed) was not hidden from any one; (but) his spirit of (prophetic) inspiration was not apprehended by every soul.
  • عقل احمد از کسی پنهان نشد ** روح وحیش مدرک هر جان نشد

  • The spirit of prophecy also has actions conformable (to reason), (but) the intellect does not apprehend (them), for that (spirit) is exalted (above intellectual apprehension). 3260
  • روح وحیی را مناسبهاست نیز ** در نیابد عقل کان آمد عزیز
