198 THE SHINING LAMP هم برین از دار دنیا بگذریم اندرین دین آمده از مادریم I was given birth by my mother into this faith, And will leave the world [established] upon this faith. باده ی عرفان ما از جام اوست آن کتاب حق که قرآن نام اوست That book of God, which is called the Quran, Is the wine that bestows upon me the cognizance of God. آن رسولی کش محمد هست نام دامن پاکش بدست ما مدام That Prophet, whose name is Muhammad; We shall forever hold onto his holy robe [remain his adherents]. جان شد و با جان به در خواهد شدن مهر او با شیر شد اندر بدن His love entered our bodies with the milk of our mothers; Became our very life and will last till death. هر نبوت را برو شد اختتام هست او خیر الرسل خیر الانام He is the Best of the Prophets and the Best of Creation; Prophethood found perfection in him. زو شده سیراب سیرابی که هست ما ازو نوشیم هر آبی که هست We drink deep the water of his fountain, Whoever has been satiated has been satiated by it alone. آن نه از خود از همان جایی بود آنچه ما را وحی و ایمایی بود Whatever revelation or inspiration is granted to us Is because of him, not because of us.
