دفتر پنجم - بخش ۷۶ - حکمت نظر کردن در چارق و پوستین کی فلینظر الانسان مم خلق / Book Five - Section 76 - The Wisdom of Looking upon the Rustic Shoes and Sheepskin Jacket: 'So let man consider from what he was created'

Original content

بازگردان قصه عشق ایاز
که آن یکی گنجیست مالامال راز

می رود هر روز در حجره برین
تا ببیند چارقی با پوستین

زانک هستی سخت مستی آورد
عقل از سر شرم از دل می برد

صد هزاران قرن پیشین را همین
مستی هستی بزد ره زین کمین

شد عزازیلی ازین مستی بلیس
که چرا آدم شود بر من رییس

خواجه ام من نیز و خواجه زاده ام
صد هنر را قابل و آماده ام

در هنر من از کسی کم نیستم
تا به خدمت پیش دشمن بیستم

من ز آتش زاده ام او از وحل
پیش آتش مر وحل را چه محل

او کجا بود اندر آن دوری که من
صدر عالم بودم و فخر زمن

English translation

Return to the story of Ayaz's love, For that is indeed a treasure overflowing with secrets. Every day he enters that high chamber To look upon his rustic shoes and sheepskin jacket. For self-existence brings about a severe intoxication; It drives intellect from the head and shame from the heart. For hundreds of thousands of past generations, this very Intoxication of self-existence robbed them of their way from this ambush. Azazil became Iblis through this intoxication, [Saying,] 'Why should Adam become a chief over me? I too am a master and the son of a master, Capable and prepared for a hundred arts. In art and skill, I am second to none; Why should I stand in service before an enemy? I was born of fire, and he was born of clay; Before fire, what place or worth does clay have? Where was he in those epochs when I Was the leader of the universe and the pride of the age?'
