Pearls of Heaven By Nasir-i Khusraw
Above the seven spheres are two precious pearls whose light illumines the world and mankind.
In the placenta of non-existence, from the sperm of existence,
they form images but themselves have no form.
Not contained by the senses, they are not sensible; neither
dark nor bright, they are not visible.
Reared in pre-eternity by the holy wet-nurse, they are not
pearls but have the attributes of pearls.
From this side of creation and that side of the universe,
within and beyond time, they are always together.
They are not in the world and yet they are in it; they are not
within us but nurture the soul in our bodies.
It is said that they are both the worlds; therefore they are
in the seven climes but not in the seven climes.
This one is the Holy Spirit and that one the Spirit of Gabriel;
they are flying angels but have no wings.
In the nest of the lower world they appear with open wings,
but in the higher world they fly without wings.
They are friends with the hot and the cold, the dry and the wet,
as are earth and air with fire and water.
In the treasure-houses of pre-eternity and post-eternity, they are
not pearls but recognized by the name of pearl.
They are both the world and mankind, paradise and hell; they
are absent and present, poison and sugar.
They come from light to darkness, from heaven to earth, from
the west to the east, from ocean to land.
Existent and non-existent, hidden and manifest, they are
without and with you in the same house.
In the next world which is their forge and furnace, they are
the destroyers of the building and the builder.
They are the chiefs of the nine spheres and the seven planets;
they give sustenance to the five senses and the four natures."
Around their home, there are ten witnesses, of whom five stay
inside and five stand at the door.
The shopkeepers of heaven come before them in order to
purchase what they have to sell.
They are not substance, for substance takes accident from them;
they make an axis for accident, but they are not the axes.
They read to you the book of secrets without letters; they
know your deeds without having to see them.
They appear because they are hidden; they are without head or
body because they are in the head and body.
Their attribute is that they are not contained in the world,
but they are hidden in our head and body.
They have made this world a place for you to inhabit, but for
them there is no place, for they are beyond space.
They come to you from a place which is not a place; there they
are angels and here they are messengers.
In rank, they are higher than the angelic world; like God's
essence, they are neither element nor substance.
Even though both the worlds are in the possession of this and
that, if you wish, they can be subjugated to your soul
