دفتر اول - بخش ۸۱ - تفسیر و هو معکم اینما کنتم / Book One - Section 81 - Commentary on 'And He is with you wherever you are'

Original content

بار دیگر ما به قصه آمدیم
ما از آن قصه برون خود کی شدیم

گر به جهل آییم آن زندان اوست
ور به علم آییم آن ایوان اوست

ور به خواب آییم مستان وییم
ور به بیداری به دستان وییم

ور بگرییم ابر پر زرق وییم
ور بخندیم آن زمان برق وییم

ور بخشم و جنگ عکس قهر اوست
ور بصلح و عذر عکس مهر اوست

ما کییم اندر جهان پیچ پیچ
چون الف او خود چه دارد هیچ‌هیچ

English translation

Once again we have come to the story; when, indeed, did we ever go outside that story? If we come into ignorance, that is His prison; and if we come into knowledge, that is His palace. If we come into sleep, we are His drunken ones; and if into wakefulness, we are in His hands. If we weep, we are His cloud full of guile; and if we laugh, at that moment we are His lightning flash. If in anger and war, it is the reflection of His severity; and if in peace and apology, it is the reflection of His mercy. What are we in the world's twist upon twist? Like alif, what does it itself possess? Nothing, nothing.
