بخش ۵۰ - در بیان طبایع چهارگانه / Section 50 - On the Explanation of the Four Natures (Elements)

Original content

جوهر آتش است بعد از هفت
که ازو دل بخست و زهره بکفت

بعد از آتش فضا و جو هوا
که زوی تا به مرکز است ملا

بحر اخضر سوم نتیجهٔ اوست
آن یکی قشر و آن دگر چون پوست

اغبر تیره چارمین ارکان
پس نبات و معادن و حیوان

حال اطباع این دوازده برج
هریکی بر مثال گوهر و درج

English translation

The essence is fire, after the seven [heavens], From which the heart is wounded and the gall bladder split. After fire, the space and atmosphere of air, Which from it down to the center is full. The green sea is its third product, One being the husk and the other like skin. The dark earth is the fourth element; Then come plants, minerals, and animals. Such is the state of the temperaments of these twelve zodiac signs, Each of them like a jewel in its casket.
