| The brightness of heart is their attribute
Assimilating all pictures shapes destitute The picture with no face immanent in all Entered Moses� chest a reflection befall Though that face the skies are short to hold The heaven, earth, river or fish couldn�t behold Because all are set to limits a thousand fold The mirror of heart is not fixed to any hold The reason keeps silent or it does mislead Tuned to heart or it itself is the heart discreet Every reflection from beginning till eternity Must they are cast on pure heart to infinity Till the end, every new impression it takes It is but reflected in Him unveiling all veils Scrubbers are but relieved of color and odor They can �see� the goodness in every order Chipped off the covering knowledge do absolve Declared loudly �Ayn al Yaqin� is our final resolve They are illumined blessed are their thoughts An ocean wide and deep to swim they begot Death, fear of every living being Is mimicked by these brave king None can but overthrow their heart The shell is damaged not the pearl They had bequeathed logic and reason Now believing in poverty and annihilation The day they had discovered heavens eight In anticipation their souls keep open the gate Better than the space, throne and the heaven Beholding God the seat of Truth their cavern Bearing a hundred signs though are annihilated Not just a sign but emblem of Truth incarnated. |
