چرخ فلک نشانه های اختصاری
چرخ فلک . [ چ َ خ ِ ف َ ل َ ] (ترکیب اضافی ، اِمرکب ) عبارت از عرش است . (آنندراج ) (غیاث ). چرخ گردنده و عرش . (ناظم الاطباء). آسمان . سپهر :
چرخ فلک هرگز پیدا نکرد
چون تو یکی سفله و ننگ و ژکور. ۞

رودکی .

ز چرخ فلک بر سرت باد سرد
نیارد گذشتن بروز نبرد.

فردوسی .

اصل بزرگ از بنه هرگز خطا نکرد
کس را گزافه چرخ فلک پادشا نکرد.

منوچهری .

ای به گه انتقام همچو حسودت مدام
خواسته از خشم تو چرخ فلک زینهار.

خاقانی .

چرخ برهم زنم ارجز بمرادم گردد
من نه آنم که زبونی کشم از چرخ فلک .

حافظ.

|| گردش فلک . گردش آسمان .حرکت دوری فلک . || دستگاهی که در اعیاد وجشنها سازند از چوب ، و در آن عده ای پالکی گونه است که مردم در آن نشینند و چرخ گردش دورانی کند. ساختمانی از چوب چون دایره ای فراخ که بر پایه ای استوار است و بر آن نشیمن های چوبی جابجای آویخته است و برای تفریح اطفال و غیر اطفال هر یک در نشیمنی قرار گیرند و چرخ در مدار خود گردد و سوارشدگان را گرداند. چرخ و فلک . نوعی اسباب سرگرمی و تفریح که بیشتر کودکان بسوار شدن آن رغبت ورزند :
از بسکه بسر گشتم چون چرخ فلک هر سو
چون چرخ فلک دایم زیروبرم بینی .

Surely you remember this poem:

The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

If then it refers to عرش, you may use Heaven, or ring of heaven
