بخش ۷ - در روح حیوانی گوید / Section 7 - On the Animal Soul, He Speaks

Original content

بعد ازان سالکان چو بشتابند
علم حق در حدیث او یابند

زانکه با علم صورت و صفتست
فکرتش بیشتر ز معرفتست

در بهار ار نه عدل وی بودی
با گل و با گلاب کی بودی

عقل همچون بهار دلجویست
کاب فرزانگیش در جویست

بال برنا نشاط زن باشد
صبح اول دروغ زن باشد

شب برنایی از فطیر بود
پیر چون صبح مستطیر بود

هست در خانقاه ربانی
بر سر شارع مسلمانی

از برای سرور سرو سهی
نه ز راه بدی ز روی بهی

English translation

After that, when the wayfarers hasten, They find the knowledge of the Truth in his discourse. Since he possesses the knowledge of form and attribute, His reflection is greater than gnosis. In spring, if it were not for his justice, How could there be the rose and rosewater? Intellect is like a pleasant spring, Whose water of wisdom flows in the stream. The wing of a youth brings joy, The first dawn is a liar. The night of youth is from unleavened dough, The old man is like the widespread dawn. He is in the divine monastery, At the head of the highway of Islam. For the joy of the straight cypress, Not by the way of evil, but by the way of goodness.
