One day Intellect said to the heart"A guide to the misguided ones I
Being on the earth I reach up to the
Look, how deep in comprehension I
Guidance on earth is my sole
Like the auspicious Khidr 1 in character I
Interpreter of the book of life I
The Manifestation of God's Glory I
You are only a drop of blood,
The invaluable ruby's envy I am"Hearing this the heart said, "All this is
But look at me as well, what I
You understand the secrets of
But seeing them with my own eyes I
Concerned with the manifest order you
And acquainted with the inward I
Learning is from you, but Divine Knowledge is from
You only seek Divinity, but showing Divinity I
Restlessness is the end of Knowledge
But the remedy for that malady I
You are the candle of the assembly of
The lamp of the Divine Beauty's assemblage I
You are related to time and
The bird recognizing the Sidrah 3 I
Look at the grandeur of my
The throne of the God of Majesty I
