دفتر پنجم - بخش ۳۰ - در تفسیر قول رسول علیه‌السلام ما مات من مات الا و تمنی ان یموت قبل ما مات ان کان برا لیکون الی وصول البر اعجل و ان کان فاجرا لیقل فجوره / Book Five - Section 30 - On the Interpretation of the Saying of the Messenger, Peace Be Upon Him: 'No one dies but that he wishes he had died before he died; if he was righteous, so that he might reach righteousness more quickly, and if he was wicked, so that his wickedness might be lessened'

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

زین بفرمودست آن آگه رسولکه هر آنک مرد و کرد از تن نزول
For this reason, that aware Messenger said:
Whoever died and descended from the body,
نبود او را حسرت نقلان و موتلیک باشد حسرت تقصیر و فوت
Has no regret over the departure and death,
But rather his regret is for negligence and missed opportunities.
هر که میرد خود تمنی باشدشکه بدی زین پیش نقل مقصدش
Everyone who dies indeed wishes
That their journey to the destination had been before this.
گر بود بد تا بدی کمتر بدیور تقی تا خانه زوتر آمدی
If they were wicked, so that their wickedness would be less,
And if they were righteous, so that they would arrive home sooner.
گوید آن بد بی خبر می بوده امدم به دم من پرده می افزوده ام
That unaware, wicked person says: 'I was ignorant,
Moment by moment I was adding to my veil.
گر ازین زودتر مرا معبر بدیاین حجاب و پرده ام کمتر بدی
If my passage had been sooner than this,
This veil and curtain of mine would have been less:
از حریصی کم دران روی قنوعوز تکبر کم دران چهره خشوع
Less of greed on that face of contentment,
And less of pride on that face of humility;
هم چنین از بخل کم در روی جودوز بلیسی چهره خوب سجود
Likewise, less of stinginess on the face of generosity,
And less of Iblis's look on the beautiful face of prostration.'
بر مکن آن پر خلد آرای رابر مکن آن پر ره پیمای را
Do not pluck out that feather which adorns paradise,
Do not pluck out that feather which traverses the path.
چون شنید این پند در وی بنگریستبعد از آن در نوحه آمد می گریست
When he heard this counsel, he looked at him;
After that, he fell into mourning and wept.
نوحه و گریه دراز دردمندهر که آنجا بود بر گریه ش فکند
A long, painful mourning and weeping,
Which threw whoever was there into weeping as well.
وآنک می پرسید پر کندن ز چیستبی جوابی شد پشیمان می گریست
And the one who was asking: 'What is this plucking of feathers for?'
Left without an answer, became regretful and wept,
کز فضولی من چرا پرسیدمشاو ز غم پر بود شورانیدمش
Saying: 'Why did I ask him out of meddlesomeness?
He was full of grief and I agitated him.'
می چکید از چشم تر بر خاک آباندر آن هر قطره مدرج صد جواب
Water was dripping from the wet eyes onto the dust,
And in every drop of it, a hundred answers were folded.
گریه با صدق بر جانها زندتا که چرخ و عرش را گریان کند
Sincere weeping strikes upon the souls,
So that it makes the heavens and the Divine Throne weep.
عقل و دلها بی گمان عرشی انددر حجاب از نور عرشی می زیند
Unquestionably, intellects and hearts belong to the Throne;
They live in a veil from the light of the Throne.
