  • His luminous spirit is supreme: ’tis enough for the rest of them to tend (cherish) him. 2425
  • فوق آمد جان پر انوار او  ** باقیان را بس بود تیمار او 

  • Since those endowed with (perfect) reason endure for ever, in reality this world is enduring for ever.

  • Then the Jew related his dream (and told them) whither his spirit had wandered during the night.

  • So that its water became a cure for all the sick by the blessedness of the goodly revelation.

  • The other (third) piece flew at once to the neighbourhood of the Ka‘ba where ‘Arafát was (situated).

  • When I came back to myself out of that swoon, Sinai was in its place, neither greater nor less (than before);

  • After that scattering (of my senses) I came to myself again and saw that Sinai and Moses were unchanged,
