بخش 89 - نمودن مثال هفت شمع سوی ساحل

Of a sudden I beheld from afar seven candles and hastened along the shore towards them.

The light of the flame of each candle thereof ascended beauteously to the loft of the sky.

I became amazed, (so that) even amazement (itself) became amazed: the waves of bewilderment passed over the head of my understanding.

(I thought), ‘What kind of candles are these (that) He hath lighted, so that the eyes of His creatures are screened from them?’

The people had gone to seek a lamp in the presence of that (sevenfold) candle which was surpassing the moon (in splendour).

Wonderful! There was a bandage over their eyes: they were bound by (the Divine destiny implied in the text) He guideth aright those whom He will.
