Original content

هست ازین جمله آنکه اهل نظر
که ندوزند چشم دل ز اثر

به تفکر شوند برخوردار
ز آیت فانظروا الی الآثار

در جمال اثر کنند نگاه
به مؤثر برند از آنجا راه

از وجود ذوات در هر حال
بر وجودش کنند استدلال

زانکه آن کش وجود نیست به خود
موجدی بایدش به حکم خرد

در فضای وجود ننهد پا
یک بنا بی عنایت بنا

نعت موجد وجوب می باید
کز تسلسل محال پیش آید

حال عالم به یک نظام و نسق
نیست الا دلیل وحدت حق

موجد کون اگر دو تا بودی
کار آن منتظم کجا بودی

صنع پاکش چو هست محکم و راست
می برد عقل پی که او داناست

نیست پوشیده بر ذوی الافهام
که حیات است شرط علم مدام

اختصاص حوادث اکوان
به مواقیت عالم و ازمان

بر ثبوت ارادت است دلیل
نکی نفی آن به رای علیل

اولا هر چه خواست کرد آخر
وصف قدرت ازین شود ظاهر

قس علی ذاک سایر الاوصاف
کین بود پیش هوشمند کفاف

من که اسرار عشق می گویم
راه ارباب فکر چون پویم

فکر سرگشتی ست در ره عشق
کی رود حکم فکر بر شه عشق

چون نماند کمال عشق جمال
لال گردد زبان استدلال

ای خوش آن کو جمال حق دیده
پرده های اثر بدریده

پردگی جلوه کرده بر نظرش
گشته نور شهود پرده درش

گل توحید بی شکی چیده
پرده و پردگی یکی دیده

English translation

Among these is that the people of insight, Who do not sew shut the eye of the heart from the effects, Through contemplation, they benefit From the verse: 'Then look at the effects...' They gaze upon the beauty of the effect, And from there, they find their way to the Creator (the Affecter). From the existence of entities in every state, They deduce His existence. For that which does not possess existence by itself, Must have a creator, by the judgment of intellect. In the space of existence, no building Steps foot without the grace of a builder. The attribute of the Creator must be necessity of existence, For infinite regress (tasalsul) leads to absurdity. The state of the world in a single order and arrangement Is nothing but a proof of the unity of the Truth (God). If there were two creators of the universe, Where would its orderly function be? Since His pure craftsmanship is firm and right, The intellect infers that He is All-Knowing. It is not hidden from the possessors of understanding, That life is a constant condition for knowledge. The specification of cosmic occurrences To the designated times and eras of the world Is a proof of the establishment of His Will, Not its negation by a feeble opinion. First, whatever He willed, He did at last; The attribute of Power becomes manifest from this. Measure other attributes accordingly, For this is sufficient for the intelligent. I, who speak of the secrets of love, How can I tread the path of the masters of thought? Thought is bewilderment on the path of love; How can the rule of thought apply to the King of Love? When the perfection of love does not leave beauty behind, The tongue of deduction becomes dumb. How happy is he who has seen the beauty of the Truth, And torn the veils of the effects! The veiled One has manifested to his sight, And the light of witnessing has become his veil-shredder. Without doubt, he has plucked the flower of monotheism, And seen the veil and the Veiled One as one.
