متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

او همی گوید که از اشکال توغره گشتم دیر دیدم حال تو
He says, 'By your outward forms
I was deceived; too late did I see your true state.
شمع مرده باده رفته دلرباغوطه خورد از ننگ کژبینی ما
The candle is dead, the wine is gone, the beloved
Sank because of the shame of our crooked vision.
ظلت الارباح خسرا مغرمانشتکی شکوی الی الله العمی
The profits turned to loss, a costly debt;
To God we complain of our blindness.
حبذا ارواح اخوان ثقاتمسلمات مؤمنات قانتات
O how excellent are the souls of trustworthy brothers,
Submissive, believing, and devout souls.
هر کسی رویی به سویی برده اندوان عزیزان رو به بی سو کرده اند
Everyone has turned their face to some direction,
While those beloved ones have turned their face to the directionless.
هر کبوتر می پرد در مذهبیوین کبوتر جانب بی جانبی
Every pigeon flies within a particular creed,
But this pigeon flies toward the side of directionlessness.
ما نه مرغان هوا نه خانگیدانه ما دانه بی دانگی
We are neither birds of the air nor domestic ones;
Our seed is the seed of seedlessness.
زان فراخ آمد چنین روزی ماکه دریدن شد قبادوزی ما
Therefore our daily bread has become so abundant,
For tearing has become our robe-tailoring.'
