This couplet describes the spiritual heroes of the world as those who support its failing structures and cure its hidden, internal diseases.
Rumi is in the middle of a short, intense praise of the shirmardān (lion-hearted men), the spiritual champions or saints who intervene in the world. He has just described them as rushing to the aid of the oppressed like the mercy of God. This couplet expands on their function using two powerful metaphors.
First, they are "the pillars for the world's great cracks" (sotunhā-ye khalal-hā-ye jahān). The world is imagined as a building, constantly developing fissures and weaknesses, threatening to collapse. The saints are the structural supports who hold it together, preventing disaster. This is not about fixing physical infrastructure but about mending the moral, spiritual, and social fabric of existence.
Second, they are "the healers of its secret ills" (tabibān-e maraz-hā-ye nahān). This moves the metaphor from the structural to the organic, from the external to the internal. The world and its inhabitants suffer from diseases that are not visible to the ordinary eye—spiritual maladies like greed, envy, arrogance, and despair. The saints are the master physicians who can diagnose and treat these hidden sicknesses of the soul, restoring spiritual health where others see no problem.
- ستونها
- sotunhā: 'Pillars' or 'columns.' Plural of 'sotun.' Here it signifies those who provide foundational support and prevent collapse.
- خللها
- khalal-hā: 'Breaches,' 'gaps,' 'flaws,' 'disorders.' Plural of 'khalal.' It suggests structural weaknesses or points of systemic failure.
- طبیبان
- tabibān: 'Physicians.' Plural of 'tabib.' In Sufi literature, this term almost always refers to a spiritual guide or master who heals the diseases of the soul.
- مرضهای نهان
- maraz-hā-ye nahān: 'Hidden illnesses.' This refers to spiritual or psychological ailments (pride, envy, spiritual blindness) that are not outwardly visible but are considered the root causes of suffering.
