دفتر اول - بخش ۱۱۹ - در بیان این خبر کی انهن یغلبن العاقل و یغلبهن الجاهل / Book One - Section 119 - In explanation of this tradition that they prevail over the wise and the ignorant prevail over them

Original content

گفت پیغامبر که زن بر عاقلان
غالب آید سخت و بر صاحب دلان

باز بر زن جاهلان چیره شوند
زانک ایشان تند و بس خیره روند

کم بودشان رقت و لطف و وداد
زانک حیوانیست غالب بر نهاد

مهر و رقت وصف انسانی بود
خشم و شهوت وصف حیوانی بود

پرتو حقست آن معشوق نیست
خالقست آن گوییا مخلوق نیست

English translation

The Prophet said that women prevail greatly over the wise and over those who possess heart.

But the ignorant in turn dominate women, for they are fierce and go about utterly heedless.

In them tenderness and gentleness and affection are scarce, for the animal nature prevails in their constitution.

Love and tenderness are the attributes of the human; anger and lust are the attributes of the animal.

She is a ray of the Real (Ḥaqq), not merely the beloved— she is the Creator; you might say she is not the created.
