M5:3891 — منتظر می‌باش آن میقات را / صدق دان الحاق ذریات را

This couplet appears in a section where Rumi is discussing the hidden consequences and 'offspring' of actions and intentions. He uses the metaphor of two souls joining to produce a third, a child, to illustrate how every interaction, every 'coupling' of causes, inevitably leads to a 'third' — a result or consequence. This 'third' is initially born in the unseen (ghayb), but it will eventually become manifest.

The beyt M5:3891, therefore, serves as an admonition to patience and faith. The 'appointed time' or miqat (میقات) refers to a destined moment, a divinely set time for something to occur. Just as a physical child is born after a period of gestation, so too do the spiritual and material 'children' of our deeds emerge after their own hidden development. Rumi urges the reader to 'hold true' (صدق دان) the connection between these 'offspring' (ذریات) and their origins, implying that every outcome is a direct and truthful consequence of its cause. This reinforces the idea of accountability and the karmic nature of existence, where nothing is truly lost or unconnected.
