  • مصطفی‌اش در کنار خود کشید  ** کس چه داند بخششی کو را رسید 

  • How is it with a piece of copper that has touched the elixir? How with an insolvent who has hit upon an ample treasure?
  • چون بود مسی که بر اکسیر زد  ** مفلسی بر گنج پر توفیر زد 

  • (’Twas as though) a fish parched (for want of water) fell into the sea, (or) a caravan that had lost its way struck the right road. 1065

  • If the words which the Prophet addressed (to him) at that moment should fall upon (the ears of) Night, it (Night) would cease from being night;
  • آن خطاباتی که گفت آن دم نبی  ** گر زند بر شب بر آید از شبی 

  • Night would become day radiant as dawn: I cannot express (the real meaning of) that mystic allocution.
  • روز روشن گردد آن شب چون صباح  ** من نتوانم باز گفت آن اصطلاح 

  • You yourself know what (words) a sun, in (the sign of) Aries, speaks to the plants and the date-palms;

  • The Divine attraction holds a hundred discourses with the effects and secondary causes, without (uttering) a word or (moving) a lip.
  • جذب یزدان با اثرها و سبب  ** صد سخن گوید نهان بی‌حرف و لب 

  • Not that the production of effects by the Divine decree is not actual; but His production of effects thereby is inconceivable to reason.

  • Since reason has learned by rote (from the prophets) in regard to the fundamentals, know O trifler, that it (also) learns by rote in regard to the derivatives.

  • If reason should ask how the aim may be (attained), say, “In a manner that thou knowest not, and (so) farewell!”

  • How Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, reproached the Siddíq, may God be pleased with him, saying, “I enjoined thee to buy in partnership with me: why hast thou bought for thyself alone?” and his (the Siddíq's) excuse.
  • معاتبه‌ی مصطفی علیه‌السلام با صدیق رضی الله عنه کی ترا وصیت کردم کی به شرکت من بخر تو چرا بهر خود تنها خریدی و عذر او 

  • He (the Prophet) said, “Why, O Siddíq, I told thee to make me the partner in (thy) generosity.” 1075

  • که مرا از بندگیت آزادیست  ** بی‌تو بر من محنت و بیدادیست 

  • O thou who through being the chosen (Prophet) hast brought the (whole) world to life and hast made the common folk to be the elect, especially me,
  • ای جهان را زنده کرده ز اصطفا  ** خاص کرده عام را خاصه مرا 

  • In my youth my spirit used to dream that the orb of the sun salaamed to me, 1080
  • خوابها می‌دید جانم در شباب  ** که سلامم کرد قرص آفتاب 

  • And lifted me up from earth to heaven: by mounting (so) high I had become its fellow-traveller.
  • از زمینم بر کشید او بر سما  ** همره او گشته بودم ز ارتقا 

  • I said (to myself), ‘This is an hallucination and absurd: how should absurdity ever become actuality?’

  • When I beheld thee I beheld myself: blessings on that mirror goodly in its ways!

  • گشت عالی‌همت از نو چشم من  ** جز به خواری نگردد اندر چمن
