Aql-i ma Zagh
On the heart's soil, plants from thoughts reveal the heart's secrets.
The Intellect whose sight does not rove (‘aql-i má zágh) is the light of the elect; the crow-intellect (‘aql-i zágh) is the sexton for the (spiritually) dead.
The spirit that flies after crows—the crow carries it towards the graveyard.
Beware! Do not run in pursuit of the crow-like fleshly soul, for it carries (thee) to the graveyard, not towards the orchard.
If thou go, go in pursuit of the ‘Anqá of the heart, towards the Qáf and Farther Mosque of the heart. Every moment from thy cogitation a new plant is growing in thy Farther Mosque.
Do thou, like Solomon, give it its due: investigate it, do not lay upon it the foot of rejection, Because the various sorts of plants declare to thee the (inward) state of this firm-set earth.
Whether in the earth there are sugar-canes or only (common) reeds, every earth (soil) is interpreted by its plants.
Therefore the heart's soil, whereof thought was (ever) the plant—(those) thoughts have revealed the heart's secrets. If I find in the company him that draws the discourse (from me towards himself), I, like the garden, will grow hundreds of thousands of roses;
