  • That the inhabitant of the earth may become one in heart and one in aim and one in nature with the sublime celestial.

  • And on the earth become (as) Moses and Aaron, sweetly mingled like milk and honey.

  • When it (my spirit) recognises (thy spirit) a little and (then) denies (it), its denial becomes a veil covering (the truth).
  • چون شناسد اندک و منکر شود ** منکری‌اش پرده‌ی ساتر شود

  • Many a one who recognised (part of the truth) averted his face: that Moon was angered by his ingratitude.

  • They were prostrating themselves (in prayer), crying, “O Lord of mankind, wilt Thou bring him before our eyes as quickly as may be?”

  • How should every jackal perceive his (real) form? Nay, (they perceived only) the derivative of his form, that is to say, the imaginal idea (of it).
  • نقش او را کی بیابد هر شعال ** بلک فرع نقش او یعنی خیال

  • If his (real) form should fall on the face of a wall, heart's blood would trickle from the heart of the wall;
  • نقش او بر روی دیوار ار فتد ** از دل دیوار خون دل چکد

  • And his form would be so auspicious for it (would bestow such blessing on it) that the wall would at once be saved from having a double face. 3845

  • That if this were not genuine coin, how should it have become eager for the touchstone?

  • It desires the touchstone, but one of such a kind that its falseness will not be clearly exposed thereby.
  • او محک می‌خواهد اما آنچنان ** که نگردد قلبی او زان عیان

  • The touchstone that keeps hidden the quality (of that which is tested) is not a (true) touchstone, nor (is it) the (discriminating) light of knowledge.
