The poem's argument

In the Fourth Knot, Jami addresses a reader who possesses eyes yet does not truly see and ears yet does not truly hear. He directs attention to the visible effects (athar) of the created world—the narcissus gazing from the streambank, the rose opening its ear at dawn, and the turning heavenly sphere—as signs that demand contemplation rather than heedless passing.

The reasoning is inferential and moves from effect to cause: the ordered, purposeful phenomena of creation cannot be self-explaining, so the attentive observer is summoned to reason from these manifest effects back to their source, the Creator whose existence they display. Jami urges abandoning the road of the heedless (birahan) and joining the way of the aware (agahan), turning ordinary sensory perception into evidence for the Divine.
