دفتر پنجم - بخش ۳۴ - در صفت آن بی‌خودان کی از شر خود و هنر خود آمن شده‌اند کی فانی‌اند در بقای حق هم‌چون ستارگان کی فانی‌اند روز در آفتاب و فانی را خوف آفت و خطر نباشد / Book Five - Section 34 - On the Description of Those Selfless Ones Who Have Become Secure from Their Own Evil and Talent, Who Are Annihilated in the Subsistence of the Truth (God), Just Like the Stars That Are Annihilated in the Sun by Day, and the Annihilated One Has No Fear of Harm or Danger

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چون فناش از فقر پیرایه شوداو محمدوار بی سایه شود
When his annihilation is adorned by spiritual poverty,
He becomes shadowless, like Muhammad.
فقر فخری را فنا پیرایه شدچون زبانه شمع او بی سایه شد
Spiritual poverty (Faqr) became the adornment of 'poverty is my pride' (Faqr-i Fakhri) through annihilation,
When the flame of his candle became shadowless.
شمع جمله شد زبانه پا و سرسایه را نبود بگرد او گذر
The candle became entirely flame from foot to head;
The shadow had no passage around it.
موم از خویش و ز سایه در گریختدر شعاع از بهر او کی شمع ریخت
The wax fled from itself and from its shadow
Into the ray of light for which the candle poured itself out.
گفت او بهر فنایت ریختمگفت من هم در فنا بگریختم
The candle said, 'I poured myself out for your annihilation.'
The wax said, 'I too have fled into annihilation.'
این شعاع باقی آمد مفترضنه شعاع شمع فانی عرض
This remaining ray is necessary (essential),
Not the accidental ray of the transient candle.
شمع چون در نار شد کلی فنانه اثر بینی ز شمع و نه ضیا
When the candle is completely annihilated in the fire,
You see neither any trace of the candle nor its light.
هست اندر دفع ظلمت آشکارآتش صورت به مومی پایدار
In dispelling the darkness, it is clear
That the physical flame is sustained by the wax.
برخلاف موم شمع جسم کانتا شود کم گردد افزون نور جان
Contrary to the wax of the physical candle,
As the body decreases, the light of the soul increases.
این شعاع باقی و آن فانیستشمع جان را شعله ربانیست
This ray is everlasting, and that one is transient;
The candle of the soul has a divine flame.
این زبانه آتشی چون نور بودسایه فانی شدن زو دور بود
Since this tongue of fire was like pure light,
The transient shadow was far from it.
ابر را سایه بیفتد در زمینماه را سایه نباشد همنشین
The cloud casts a shadow on the earth,
But the moon has no shadow as its companion.
بی خودی بی ابریست ای نیک خواهباشی اندر بی خودی چون قرص ماه
Selflessness is cloudlessness, O well-wisher;
In selflessness, you will be like the full moon.
باز چون ابری بیاید راندهرفت نور از مه خیالی مانده
But when a driven cloud arrives,
The light departs from the moon, leaving only an illusion.
از حجاب ابر نورش شد ضعیفکم ز ماه نو شد آن بدر شریف
Through the veil of the cloud, its light becomes weak;
That noble full moon becomes less than a crescent.
مه خیالی می نماید ز ابر و گردابر تن ما را خیال اندیش کرد
The moon appears illusory due to clouds and dust;
The cloud of the body made us full of phantom thoughts.
لطف مه بنگر که این هم لطف اوستکه بگفت او ابرها ما را عدوست
Behold the grace of the moon, for this too is its grace:
That by its decree, the clouds are our enemies.
مه فراغت دارد از ابر و غباربر فراز چرخ دارد مه مدار
The moon is free from clouds and dust;
The moon has its orbit high above the heavens.
ابر ما را شد عدو و خصم جانکه کند مه را ز چشم ما نهان
The cloud has become our enemy and the foe of our life,
Because it hides the moon from our eyes.
حور را این پرده زالی می کندبدر را کم از هلالی می کند
This veil turns a houri into an old hag,
And reduces the full moon to less than a crescent.
ماه ما را در کنار عز نشانددشمن ما را عدوی خویش خواند
Our moon has seated us in the lap of honor,
And called our enemy its own enemy.
تاب ابر و آب او خود زین مهستهر که مه خواند ابر را بس گمرهست
The glow and moisture of the cloud itself are from this moon;
Whoever calls the cloud the moon is deeply astray.
نور مه بر ابر چون منزل شدستروی تاریکش ز مه مبدل شدست
When the light of the moon alights upon the cloud,
Its dark face is transformed by the moon.
گرچه همرنگ مهست و دولتیستاندر ابر آن نور مه عاریتیست
Even though it shares the moon's color and fortune,
That light of the moon in the cloud is borrowed.
در قیامت شمس و مه معزول شدچشم در اصل ضیا مشغول شد
On the Day of Resurrection, the sun and moon are dismissed;
The eye is occupied with the origin of light.
تا بداند ملک را از مستعاروین رباط فانی از دارالقرار
So that one may distinguish the true kingdom from the borrowed,
And this transient tavern from the everlasting abode.
دایه عاریه بود روزی سه چارمادرا ما را تو گیر اندر کنار
The wet-nurse was borrowed for three or four days;
O Mother, take us in your embrace!
پر من ابرست و پرده ست و کثیفز انعکاس لطف حق شد او لطیف
My wing is a cloud, a veil, and dense;
It became subtle and beautiful by the reflection of God's grace.
بر کنم پر را و حسنش را ز راهتا ببینم حسن مه را هم ز ماه
I shall tear off the feather and its beauty from my path,
So that I may see the beauty of the moon directly from the moon.
من نخواهم دایه مادر خوشترستموسی ام من دایه من مادرست
I do not want a wet-nurse, the mother is sweeter;
I am Moses, and my wet-nurse is my mother.
من نخواهم لطف مه از واسطهکه هلاک قوم شد این رابطه
I do not want the moon's grace through an intermediary,
For this connection became the destruction of the people.
یا مگر ابری شود فانی راهتا نگردد او حجاب روی ماه
Or unless a cloud becomes annihilated on the path,
So that it does not become a veil over the face of the moon.
صورتش بنماید او در وصف لاهم چو جسم انبیا و اولیا
Its form shows itself in the quality of nonexistence (negation),
Like the bodies of prophets and saints.
آنچنان ابری نباشد پرده بندپرده در باشد به معنی سودمند
Such a cloud is not a screen-binder;
It is a screen-tearer, beneficial in meaning.
آن چنان که اندر صباح روشنیقطره می بارید و بالا ابر نی
Just as on a bright morning,
Drops of rain were falling, yet there was no cloud above.
معجزه پیغامبری بود آن سقاگشته ابر از محو هم رنگ سما
That watering was the miracle of a prophet;
The cloud, through annihilation, had become the same color as the sky.
بود ابر و رفته از وی خوی ابراین چنین گردد تن عاشق به صبر
It was a cloud, but the nature of a cloud had departed from it;
Thus does the body of the lover become through patience.
تن بود اما تنی گم گشته زوگشته مبدل رفته از وی رنگ و بو
It is a body, but a body from which 'itself' has been lost;
It has been transformed, its color and scent having departed.
پر پی غیرست و سر از بهر منخانه سمع و بصر استون تن
The wing is for others, but the head is for me;
The body is the pillar, the house of hearing and sight.
جان فدا کردن برای صید غیرکفر مطلق دان و نومیدی ز خیر
To sacrifice one's soul for the capture of others—
Know this as absolute infidelity and despair of good.
هین مشو چون قند پیش طوطیانبلک زهری شو شو آمن از زیان
Beware, do not become like sugar before parrots;
Rather, become poison, and be safe from harm.
یا برای شادباشی در خطابخویش چون مردار کن پیش کلاب
Or, to receive the greeting of welcome in address,
Make yourself like a corpse before the dogs.
پس خضر کشتی برای این شکستتا که آن کشتی ز غاصب باز رست
Therefore, Khidr broke the ship for this reason:
So that the ship might escape from the usurper.
فقر فخری بهر آن آمد سنیتا ز طماعان گریزم در غنی
The 'poverty is my pride' became sublime for this purpose:
That I might flee from the greedy into the Rich (Self-Sufficient God).
گنجها را در خرابی زان نهندتا ز حرص اهل عمران وا رهند
Treasures are buried in ruins for this reason:
So that they may escape the greed of the builders.
پر نتانی کند رو خلوت گزینتا نگردی جمله خرج آن و این
If you cannot pluck your feathers, go and choose solitude,
So that you do not become entirely spent on this and that.
زآنک تو هم لقمه ای هم لقمه خوارآکل و ماکولی ای جان هوش دار
For you are both a morsel and a consumer of morsels;
You are both the eater and the eaten, O soul, be aware!
