متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آتش و باد و آب و خاک و فلکز برش عقل و جان میانه ملک
Fire and wind and water and earth and the celestial sphere,
Above them intellect and soul, in the midst the angels.
خرد و جان و صورت مطلقهمه از امر دان و امر از حق
Intellect, soul, and absolute form—
Know them all to be from the Command, and the Command is from the Truth.
اوست بیرنگ و مایهٔ پرگارنعمت و شکر و شکرگوی نگار
He is colorless and the source of the compass,
The blessing, the gratitude, and the grateful beloved.
کرده در راه ناجوانمرداندر هوا شمع و شمعدان گردان
He has made, in the path of the unchivalrous,
The candle and the candlestick rotating in the air.
کرده در شه ره معاش و معادفعل و قوت قرین کون و فساد
He has made, in the highway of worldly life and the hereafter,
Actuality and potentiality paired with generation and decay.
قدرتش کرده در جهان سخنقوتی را به فعلی آبستن
His power has made, in the world of speech,
Every potentiality pregnant with an actuality.
هرچه آید به فعل پایش راهرچه در قوتست زایش را
Whatever comes into action, its footing is established,
And whatever is in potential, its birth is destined.
