دفتر پنجم - بخش ۴۲ - تفسیر انی اری سبع بقرات سمان یاکلهن سبع عجاف آن گاوان لاغر را خدا به صفت شیران گرسنه آفریده بود تا آن هفت گاو فربه را به اشتها می‌خوردند اگر چه آن خیالات صور گاوان در آینهٔ خواب نمودند تو معنی بگیر / Book Five - Section 42 - Commentary on 'Verily I saw seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones': God created those lean cows in the likeness of hungry lions so that they might greedily eat those seven fat cows; although those images showed the forms of cows in the mirror of the dream, do you grasp the inner meaning

Original content

آن عزیز مصر می دیدی به خواب
چونک چشم غیب را شد فتح باب

هفت گاو فربه بس پروری
خوردشان آن هفت گاو لاغری

در درون شیران بدند آن لاغران
ورنه گاوان را نبودندی خوران

پس بشر آمد به صورت مرد کار
لیک در وی شیر پنهان مردخوار

مرد را خوش وا خورد فردش کند
صاف گردد دردش ار دردش کند

زان یکی درد او ز جمله دردها
وا رهد پا بر نهد او بر سها

چند گویی هم چو زاغ پر نحوس
ای خلیل از بهر چه کشتی خروس

گفت فرمان حکمت فرمان بگو
تا مسبح گردم آن را مو به مو

English translation

The Aziz of Egypt was seeing in a dream, when the gate was opened to the eye of the Unseen, Seven fat, highly nourished cows, being devoured by those seven lean cows. Inside, those lean ones were lions; otherwise, they would not have been devourers of cows. So a human comes in the form of a man of work, but within him is a hidden man-eating lion. He devours the man completely and makes him single; his dregs become pure if he inflicts pain on him. Through that one pain, he is delivered from all other pains, and sets his foot upon Suha. How long will you say, like a crow full of ill-omen, 'O Khalil, for what reason did you kill the rooster?' He said: 'The command is wisdom, state the command, so that I may glorify it hair by hair.'
