Original content

گفت داوود با خدای به راز
کای مبرا ز افتقار و نیاز

چیست حکمت در آفرینش خلق
که ازان قاصر است بینش خلق

گفت بودم پر از گهر گنجی
مخفی از چشم هر گهر سنجی

خود به خود در خود آن همه گوهر
دیدمی بی توسط مظهر

خواستم کان جواهر مکنون
بنمایم ز ذات خود بیرون

تا که بیرون ازین نشیمن راز
گردد احکامشان ز هم ممتاز

همه یابند سوی هستی راه
از خود و غیر خود شوند آگاه

آفریدم گهرشناسی چند
تا گشایند ازان گهرها بند

گوهر حسن را کنند اظهار
تا شود گرم عشق را بازار

روی خوبان بداند بیارایند
عشق عشاق ازان بیفزایند

چیست آن گنج، گنج ذات خدا
وان جواهر، جواهر اسما

بود اسما نهفته اندر ذات
شد عیان از ظهور موجودات

داشت اسما جمال پنهانی
لیکن از رتبه های امکانی

شد ز یک جلوه آن جمال نهان
ظاهر اندر مظاهر امکان

هر جمال و کمال فرخنده
که بود در جهان پراکنده

پرتو آن کمال دان و جمال
بهر تفصیل رتبه اجمال

صفت علم را ببین مثلا
جلوه گر در مجالی علما

English translation

David spoke to God in secret, Saying, 'O Thou who art free from need and want, What is the wisdom in the creation of creatures, Of which the vision of humankind falls short?' He said, 'I was a treasure full of pearls, Concealed from the eye of every gem-appraiser. By Myself, in Myself, all those pearls I beheld, without the mediation of any manifestation. I desired to display those concealed jewels Outwardly from My own Essence, So that, outside of this nest of mystery, Their determinations would become distinct from one another, All would find their way to existence, And become aware of themselves and of other than themselves. I created some gem-appreciators So that they might untie the knots of those pearls, Manifesting the pearl of beauty, So that the market of love would become hot. They adorn the face of the beautiful ones with knowledge, And thereby increase the love of the lovers.' What is that treasure? The treasure of God's Essence. And those jewels? The jewels of the Names. The Names were hidden within the Essence; They became visible through the manifestation of existent beings. The Names possessed a concealed beauty, But from the degrees of potentiality, By a single self-disclosure, that hidden beauty Became manifest in the loci of possibility. Every blessed beauty and perfection That is scattered throughout the world, Know it to be the reflection of that perfection and beauty, Detailed from the level of integration. See the attribute of knowledge, for example, Manifested in the mirrors of scholars.
