بخش 90 - شدن آن هفت شمع بر مثال یک شمع

Then I saw the seven (candles) become one, its light cleaving the bosom (rim) of the sky.

Then again that one became seven once more: my intoxication and bewilderment waxed mighty.

(There were) such connexions between the candles as may not come (may not be uttered) on my tongue and (in) my speech.

That which one look perceives, ’tis impossible during years to show it forth by the tongue.

That which intellectual apprehension sees in one moment, ’tis impossible during years to hear it by the ear.

Since it hath no end, go (back) to thyself, for (as the Prophet aid), ‘I cannot reckon (worthy) any praise of Thee.’

I advanced farther, running (and marvelling) what thing those candles are (which are one) of the signs of the Divine Majesty.

(Thus) I was going, beside myself and dumbfounded and deranged, till I fell down from making haste and speed.

In this (state), senseless and witless, I lay fallen awhile upon the dust of the earth.

Then I came back to my senses and rose up: you would say that in my faring I had neither head nor foot.
