The Meaning of the Poet's Statement: "And the truth is that both are assumed in the mind, *** so do not judge them while they are in the minds"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And the truth is that both are assumed in the mind, *** so do not judge them while they are in the minds"
Until what is clear in the verse, this
"The truth is that both are in the mind"—what does this refer to? It refers to words stripped of composition and to entities stripped of attributes.
"Both are assumed in the mind, so do not judge them while they are in the minds"
Now, "in the minds" must be connected to the word "assumed," not to the word "judge." That is, the truth is that both are assumed in the mind, in the minds. Yes, yes, it is clearer in meaning, but it makes the verse too long.
"And the truth is that both are assumed in the mind, *** so do not judge them while they are in the minds" is undoubtedly clearer in meaning, but it breaks the meter of the verse. In the second option, there is repetition because we say, "The truth is that both are assumed in the mind, in the minds," which contains repetition. Unless it is said that he intends emphasis by that. In any case, the meaning is understood now: that stripping words of composition is impossible, and stripping entities of attributes is impossible, and that the claim of stripping words is like the claim of stripping entities of attributes.
"So do not judge them while they are in the minds".
