M4:77 — تا شوی آمن ز سیری و ملال / گفت کان الله له زین ذوالجلال

This couplet concludes a profound argument about the nature of perception in love. Rumi has just advised the reader to stop seeing the beloved through their own limited, personal eyes, which are prone to boredom and disillusionment (sīrī va malāl). Instead, one should borrow the eyes of God Himself to see the beloved's true, inexhaustible beauty.

This act of 'borrowing God's eyes' is not just a poetic metaphor; it is the practical application of a famous holy tradition (hadith qudsi): Man kāna lillāh, kāna-llāhu lah ("Whoever is for God, God is for him"). Rumi presents this hadith as a divine promise from Dhū-l-Jalāl (the Possessor of Majesty). By dedicating your perception and your very being to God, you receive God's own perception in return. Seeing through God's eyes makes the beloved an endless source of wonder, securing the lover from the inevitable decay of mortal affection.
