متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مصطفی صبح آمد و در را گشادصبح آن گمراه را او راه داد
Mustafa came in the morning and opened the door;
In the morning, he showed the way to that strayed one.
در گشاد و گشت پنهان مصطفیتا نگردد شرمسار آن مبتلا
He opened the door and Mustafa hid himself,
So that the afflicted one would not be embarrassed.
تا برون آید رود گستاخ اوتا نبیند درگشا را پشت و رو
So that he may come out and go boldly,
So that he would not see the front or back of the door-opener.
یا نهان شد در پس چیزی و یااز ویش پوشید دامان خدا
Either he hid behind something, or
The skirt of God concealed him from him.
صبغة الله گاه پوشیده کندپرده بی چون بر آن ناظر تند
The dye of God sometimes conceals,
Spinning an unconditioned veil over the observer,
تا نبیند خصم را پهلوی خویشقدرت یزدان از آن بیشست بیش
So that one does not see the adversary at their side;
The power of God is greater than even that, far greater.
مصطفی می دید احوال شبشلیک مانع بود فرمان ربش
Mustafa was seeing the state of his night,
But the command of his Lord was preventing him.
تا که پیش از خبط بگشاید رهیتا نیفتد زان فضیحت در چهی
So that before his blunder, he might open a path,
Lest he fall into a well from that disgrace.
لیک حکمت بود و امر آسمانتا ببیند خویشتن را او چنان
But it was wisdom and the command of heaven,
That he should see himself in that state.
بس عداوتها که آن یاری بودبس خرابیها که معماری بود
Many an enmity is actually friendship;
Many a destruction is actually rebuilding.
جامه خواب پر حدث را یک فضولقاصدا آورد در پیش رسول
A meddlesome person deliberately brought the bedsheet filled with impurities
Before the Messenger,
که چنین کرده ست مهمانت ببینخنده ای زد رحمة للعالمین
Saying, 'See what your guest has done!'
The Mercy to the Worlds smiled,
که بیار آن مطهره اینجا به پیشتا بشویم جمله را با دست خویش
Saying, 'Bring that ewer here to the front,
So that I may wash it all with my own hands.'
هر کسی می جست کز بهر خداجان ما و جسم ما قربان ترا
Everyone rushed forward, crying, 'For God's sake,
Our souls and our bodies be sacrificed for you!
ما بشوییم این حدث را تو بهلکار دستست این نمط نه کار دل
Let us wash this impurity, leave it be;
This kind of work is for our hands, not for your heart.
ای لعمرک مر ترا حق عمر خواندپس خلیفه کرد و بر کرسی نشاند
O you whose life God swore by,
Then made you caliph and seated you on the throne,
ما برای خدمت تو می زییمچون تو خدمت می کنی پس ما چه ایم
We live to serve you;
If you do the serving, then what are we?'
گفت آن دانم و لیک این ساعتیستکه درین شستن به خویشم حکمتیست
He said, 'I know that, but this is a moment
In which there is a wisdom of my own in this washing.'
منتظر بودند کاین قول نبیستتا پدید آید که این اسرار چیست
They waited, knowing this was the Prophet's word,
Until it should become clear what these secrets are.
او به جد می شست آن احداث راخاص ز امر حق نه تقلید و ریا
He was washing those impurities with earnest dedication,
Specifically by the command of God, not out of imitation or hypocrisy.
که دلش می گفت کین را تو بشوکه درین جا هست حکمت تو بتو
For his heart was telling him, 'Wash this,
For herein lies layer upon layer of wisdom.'
