It is written in the expressions of the book,
the unrolled parchment and the populated house.

He is under the shadow of the refuge of intellect,
the chamberlain of the court of intellect.

the Universal Intellect is Mustafa, and he is the Truthful.

Continually receiving from the essence,
taking impressions from the light of intellect.

He is both a giver and a taker,
both an acceptor and a transmitter.

An intermediary between form and consciousness,
becoming a tongue on this side and an ear on that side.

When a man makes intellect his refuge,
he makes the mass and form of the faint star Suha like the moon.

and though he is a son, he becomes a father.

he becomes a sun through the shadow of intellect.

he rises higher and becomes one with intellect.

When he becomes king over himself by the grace of intellect,
he receives the robe of yearning from Allah.
شوق چون در نهادش آویزدعقل کل را ز ره برانگیزد
When yearning takes hold of his nature,
it rouses the Universal Intellect from the path.
تاکنون عقل بود بر وی میرزو کنون عقل گشت امر پذیر
Until now, intellect was his commander,
from now on, intellect becomes compliant to his command.
چون شود بر نهاد خود مالکبشنود کارجعی الی ربک
When he becomes the master of his own nature,
he hears: 'Return to your Lord.'
