  • Since I am ever at peace with this Father, this world is like Paradise in my sight.

  • At every moment (appears) a new form and a new beauty, so that from seeing the new (visions) ennui dies away.
  • هر زمان نو صورتی و نو جمال ** تا ز نو دیدن فرو میرد ملال

  • I see the world to be full of bounty—the waters constantly gushing from the springs. 3265

  • The noise of their water is coming into mine ear: my inner consciousness and intelligence are being intoxicated.

  • I am not telling one (mystery) out of thousands, because every ear is filled with a doubt.
  • از هزاران می‌نگویم من یکی ** ز آنک آکندست هر گوش از شکی

  • To Opinion this saying (of mine) is (only) a joyful announcement (concerning the future), (but) Reason says, ‘What (occasion for) announcement? It is my cash in hand (actual and present experience).’” 3270
  • پیش وهم این گفت مژده دادنست ** عقل گوید مژده چه نقد منست

  • Story of the sons of ‘Uzayr, on whom be peace, who were making inquiries about their father from (one who really was) their father. "Yes," he replied, "I have seen him: he is coming." Some (of them) recognised him and became unconscious, (while) others did not recognise him and said, "He has only announced (our father's coming): what is this unconsciousness?"
  • قصه‌ی فرزندان عزیر علیه‌السلام کی از پدر احوال پدر می‌پرسیدند می‌گفت آری دیدمش می‌آید بعضی شناختندش بیهوش شدند بعضی نشناختند می‌گفتند خود مژده‌ای داد این بیهوش شدن چیست

  • (The case is) like (that of) the sons of ‘Uzayr who came into the thoroughfare, asking news of their father.
  • هم‌چو پوران عزیز اندر گذر ** آمده پرسان ز احوال پدر

  • They had grown old, while their father had been made young. Then suddenly their father met them.
  • گشته ایشان پیر و باباشان جوان ** پس پدرشان پیش آمد ناگهان

  • So they inquired of him, saying, “O wayfarer, we wonder if thou hast news of our ‘Uzayr;
  • پس بپرسیدند ازو کای ره‌گذر ** از عزیر ما عجب داری خبر

  • For some one told us that to-day that man of (great) authority would arrive from abroad after we had given up hope (of seeing him).”
  • که کسی‌مان گفت که امروز آن سند ** بعد نومیدی ز بیرون می‌رسد

  • “Yes,” he replied, “he will arrive after me.” That one (the son of ‘Uzayr) rejoiced when he heard the good tidings, 3275
  • گفت آری بعد من خواهد رسید ** آن یکی خوش شد چو این مژده شنید

  • Crying, “Joy to thee, O bringer of the good news!” But the other (son) recognised (him) and fell (to the ground) unconscious,
  • بانگ می‌زد کای مبشر باش شاد ** وان دگر بشناخت بیهوش اوفتاد

  • Saying, “What occasion is there for good tidings, O scatterbrain, when we have fallen into the mine (the very midst) of sugar?”
  • که چه جای مژده است ای خیره‌سر ** که در افتادیم در کان شکر

  • To Opinion it is (merely) good tidings, whereas in the sight of Reason it is ready cash (actuality), because the eye of Opinion is veiled by missing (the object sought).

  • کفر و ایمان هر دو خود دربان اوست ** کوست مغز و کفر و دین او را دو پوست

  • Infidelity is the dry peel that has averted its face (from the kernel); faith, again, is the peel (inner integument) that has gained a delicious flavour.
  • کفر قشر خشک رو بر تافته ** باز ایمان قشر لذت یافته

  • The place for the dry peels is the fire, (but) the peel attached to the spiritual kernel is sweet.

  • This discourse hath no end: turn back, that my Moses may cleave the sea asunder. 3285
