بخش ۱۹ - در کشف و اظهار آنکه در نفس کلمه طیبه لااله الاالله اشارتی هست به ستر و اخفای آن / Section 19 - On the Discovery and Revelation that in the Essence of the Pure Word 'La ilaha illallah' There is an Allusion to Its Concealment and Hiding

Original content

حرفها را به وقت نطق و بیان
شفه آمد منصه اعلان

گر تأمل کنی درین کلمه
بنگری حال حرفهاش همه

بی گمان دانمت به آن گروی
که یکی نیست زان میان شفوی

مخرج حرفهاش جز شفه است
نسبت آن سوی شفه سفه است

وین اشارت بدان بود که مدام
بایدش در حریم ستر مقام

این سبق پیشه کن چه روز و چه شب
بی فغان زبان و جنبش لب

پیش روشندلان بحر صفا
ذکر حق گوهر است و دل دریا

پرورش ده به قعر آن گهری
که نیاید به لب ازان اثری

تا خدا سازدش به نصرت و عون
گوهری قیمتش فزون ز دو کون

English translation

When speaking and expressing letters, The lip becomes the stage of announcement. If you reflect upon this Word, And observe the state of all its letters, Undoubtedly I know you will believe this: That not one among them is labial. The point of articulation of its letters is other than the lip; Attributing it to the lip is foolishness. And this allusion means that constantly, It must have its station in the sanctuary of concealment. Make this lesson your practice, whether day or night: Without the clamor of the tongue and the movement of the lip. Before the illuminated ones of the ocean of purity, The remembrance of Truth is a pearl, and the heart is an ocean. Nurture that pearl in the depths, So that no trace of it comes to the lip; So that God, with His help and aid, may make it A pearl whose value exceeds the two worlds.
