Lire› Livre 5› Dans ce qui est espéré de la miséricorde de Dieu (Exalté soit-Il), le Donateur des bienfaits avant leur mérite, et C'est Lui qui fait descendre la pluie après qu'ils aient désespéré. Et souvent après la peine vient la proximité, et souvent un péché est béni, et souvent le bonheur vient de là où l'on attendait le malheur, pour que l'on sache que Dieu change leurs mauvaises actions en bonnes actions.› Verset 1792

This couplet explains that every intention, imagination, or mental image harbored in one's heart during life will manifest as a tangible form on the Day of Judgment.
Rumi is here elaborating on the concept of hashr (resurrection), distinguishing between the 'lesser resurrection' (death and the hidden spiritual consequences) and the 'greater resurrection' (the final Day of Judgment). He uses the analogy of a seed in the ground or an architect's blueprint: just as a seed sprouts into a plant, or a mental image of a house eventually becomes a physical structure, so too will our inner thoughts and intentions take on a visible form in the afterlife.
The preceding couplets (M5:1788-1791) introduce this idea, noting that while our thoughts (khayāl) are hidden now, they will become manifest later. The architect's mental image of a house is like a seed in the earth of his heart; that image will eventually emerge externally, just as a seed produces a plant. This couplet (M5:1792) then generalizes this principle: any thought that takes root in the heart will, on the Day of Resurrection, become a concrete form or image. This underscores the profound significance of one's inner world and intentions in Sufi thought, where the unseen realm of the heart is the true ground of one's ultimate destiny.
