HÛ
Who, really, can find bazaars like this where with a single rose thou art buying (whole) roseries
(Where) a hundred groves come (are offered) to thee in exchange for one seed, a hundred mines in exchange for one groat?
True, (this) heedlessness and this blindness is (a manifestation of) Divine Wisdom, in order that he (the heedless man) may endure; but why (be heedless) to such an extent as this?
True, heedlessness is (a manifestation of) Divine Wisdom and Bounty, in order that (his) stockin- trade may not suddenly fly out of (his) hand;
But not (heedlessness) so great that it becomes an incurable sore and a poison to the spirit and intellect of one who is sick.
Who, really, can find bazaars like this where with a single rose thou art buying (whole) roseries; (Where) a hundred groves come (are offered) to thee in exchange for one seed, a hundred mines in exchange for one groat?
Kána lilláh is the giving of that groat, in order that kána ’lláh lahú may come into (thy) hand; For this weak unstable hú (personality) was brought into being by the steadfast (permanent) hú of the Lord. When the hú that passes away has surrendered itself to Him, it becomes everlasting and never dies. (’Tis) like a drop of water (which is) afraid of wind (air) and earth; for by means of these twain it is made to pass away (and perish.
