212 طور خدا بهر من شد نیستی طور خدا چون خودی رفت آمد آن نور ِ خدا For me, becoming nothing [in self-annihilation] became the Toor of God [the mount where Moses received revelation]; Thus, as the ego departed, the Light of God came in. رو بدو کردم که رو آن روی اوست هر دل فرخنده مایل سوی اوست I turned towards Him alone as only His Countenance is worth seeing, And every blessed heart is inclined towards Him alone. در دو عالم مثل او رویی کجاست کجاست کویی دگر کویش سر جز Where in either of the worlds is there any countenance like His? And apart from His quarter, is there any other quarter? اند ی او غافل آن کسان کز کوچه ها هم کمتراند از سگان ِ کوچه Those who are oblivious of His quarter Are more wretched than even the stray dogs of the street. شراند و شور در جمله عالم و خلق اند دیگر جهان در عاشقانش The world and all people are engrossed in the tumult and trials, But those who love Him are in another world altogether. آن جهان چون ماند بر کس ناپدید ازجهان،آنکوروبدبختیچهدید The person from whom that world remains hidden— What has that unfortunate blind one seen after coming into the world?
