LET not the prison of
nature detain you,
But come forth and view the art of the Divine,
Contemplate the appearance of the heavens,
So that praise and wonder for the Truth will be thine.
The arch of the high
heavens enclosing both worlds
Is called "The Throne of the Merciful,"
And like the heart of man is ever moving,
Never resting for a moment.
Perchance man's heart is the central point
And heaven the circumference.
Within a day and a night
Heaven outspans your circuits, O dervish!
The other heavenly spheres
are circling too,
Remember they all move in one direction,
From east to west like a water wheel,
Rushing on without food or sleep.
When the astrologer is an
unbeliever,
He sees not that these circulating lights of heaven
Are dominated and controlled by The Truth.
