Explanation of the Tradition, “Verily, they (women) prevail over the wise man, and the ignorant man prevails over them.”

بخش 119 - در بیان این خبر کی انهن یغلبن العاقل و یغلبهن الجاهل

Toggle stanza 1
گفت پیغامبر که زن بر عاقلان
1
گفت پیغامبر که زن بر عاقلان
غالب آید سخت و بر صاحب‌دلان

The Prophet said that woman prevails exceedingly over the wise and intelligent,

2
باز بر زن جاهلان چیره شوند
زانک ایشان تند و بس خیره روند

(While), on the other hand, ignorant men prevail over woman, for in them the fierceness of the animal is imprisoned.

3
کم بودشان رقت و لطف و وداد
زانک حیوانیست غالب بر نهاد

They lack tenderness, kindness, and affection, because animality predominates over their (human) nature.

4
مهر و رقت وصف انسانی بود
خشم و شهوت وصف حیوانی بود

Love and tenderness are human qualities, anger and lust are animal qualities.

5
پرتو حقست آن معشوق نیست
خالقست آن گوییا مخلوق نیست

She (woman) is a ray of God, she is not that (earthly) beloved: she is creative, you might say she is not created.
