متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گرچه بر ناید به جهد و زور تولیک مسجد را برآرد پور تو
Although it does not come about through your effort and strength, yet your son will build the mosque.
کردهٔ او کردهٔ تست ای حکیممؤمنان را اتصالی دان قدیم
His deed is your deed, O wise one; know that there is an ancient connection among the believers.
مؤمنان معدود لیک ایمان یکیجسمشان معدود لیکن جان یکی
The believers are numerous, but faith is one; their bodies are numerous, but their soul is one.
غیرفهم و جان که در گاو و خرستآدمی را عقل و جانی دیگرست
Besides the understanding and soul that are in the cow and the ass, human beings have another intellect and soul.
باز غیرجان و عقل آدمیهست جانی در ولی آن دمی
Again, besides the soul and intellect of ordinary humans, there is a soul in the saint of that divine breath.
جان حیوانی ندارد اتحادتو مجو این اتحاد از روح باد
The animal soul has no unity; do not seek this unity from the windy spirit.
گر خورد این نان نگردد سیر آنور کشد بار این نگردد او گران
If this one eats bread, that one does not become full; and if this one carries a load, that one does not become heavy.
بلک این شادی کند از مرگ اواز حسد میرد چو بیند برگ او
Nay, this one rejoices at the death of that one, and dies of envy when he sees his prosperity.
جان گرگان و سگان هر یک جداستمتحد جانهای شیران خداست
The souls of wolves and dogs are each separate, but united are the souls of the lions of God.
جمع گفتم جانهاشان من به اسمکان یکی جان صد بود نسبت به جسم
I spoke of their souls in the plural form only in name, for that one soul is a hundred in relation to the body.
هم چو آن یک نور خورشید سماصد بود نسبت بصحن خانه ها
Just as that single light of the sun of heaven is a hundred in relation to the courtyards of the houses.
لیک یک باشد همه انوارشانچونک برگیری تو دیوار از میان
But all their lights are one when you remove the wall from between them.
چون نماند خانه ها را قاعدهمؤمنان مانند نفس واحده
When the foundation of the houses no longer remains, the believers become like a single soul.
فرق و اشکالات آید زین مقالزانک نبود مثل این باشد مثال
Differences and difficulties arise from this discourse, because this is an analogy, not an exact equivalent.
فرقها بی حد بود از شخص شیرتا به شخص آدمی زاد دلیر
The differences are infinite between the person of a lion and the person of a brave human being.
لیک در وقت مثال ای خوش نظراتحاد از روی جانبازی نگر
But at the time of the analogy, O sweet-sighted one, look at the unity from the perspective of risking one's life.
کان دلیر آخر مثال شیر بودنیست مثل شیر در جملهٔ حدود
For that brave man was, after all, an analogy of a lion; he is not identical to a lion in all respects.
متحد نقشی ندارد این سراتا که مثلی وا نمایم من ترا
This world has no united form so that I may show you an exact equivalent.
هم مثال ناقصی دست آورمتا ز حیرانی خرد را وا خرم
I will bring even a deficient analogy so that I may rescue the intellect from bewilderment.
شب بهر خانه چراغی می نهندتا به نور آن ز ظلمت می رهند
At night, they place a lamp in every house, so that by its light they may escape from darkness.
آن چراغ این تن بود نورش چو جانهست محتاج فتیل و این و آن
That lamp is this body, and its light is like the soul; it is in need of a wick and this and that.
آن چراغ شش فتیلهٔ این حواسجملگی بر خواب و خور دارد اساس
That six-wicked lamp of these senses is entirely based upon sleep and food.
بی خور و بی خواب نزید نیم دمبا خور و با خواب نزید نیز هم
Without food and sleep it does not live half a moment; and with food and sleep it does not live forever either.
بی فتیل و روغنش نبود بقابا فتیل و روغن او هم بی وفا
Without wick and oil it has no survival, and even with wick and oil it is unfaithful.
زانک نور علتی اش مرگ جوستچون زید که روز روشن مرگ اوست
Because its accidental light is a seeker of death; how should it live when the bright day is its death?
جمله حسهای بشر هم بی بقاستزانک پیش نور روز حشر لاست
All the senses of human beings are likewise without permanence, because before the light of the Day of Resurrection they are naught.
نور حس و جان بابایان مانیست کلی فانی و لا چون گیا
The light of the senses and the soul of our fathers is not entirely extinct and non-existent like grass.
لیک مانند ستاره و ماهتابجمله محوند از شعاع آفتاب
But like the star and the moonlight, they are all vanished in the rays of the sun.
آنچنان که سوز و درد زخم کیکمحو گردد چون در آید مار الیک
Just as the burning and pain of a flea-bite vanishes when a viper comes toward you.
آنچنان که عور اندر آب جستتا در آب از زخم زنبوران برست
Just as the naked man jumped into the water so that in the water he might escape the stings of the wasps.
می کند زنبور بر بالا طوافچون بر آرد سر ندارندش معاف
The wasps circle above, and when he raises his head, they do not spare him.
آب ذکر حق و زنبور این زمانهست یاد آن فلانه وان فلان
The water is the remembrance of God, and the wasps at this time are the memories of this woman and that man.
دم بخور در آب ذکر و صبر کنتا رهی از فکر و وسواس کهن
Hold your breath in the water of remembrance and be patient, so that you may escape from old thoughts and temptations.
بعد از آن تو طبع آن آب صفاخود بگیری جملگی سر تا به پا
After that, you will yourself take on the nature of that pure water entirely from head to foot.
آنچنان که از آب آن زنبور شرمی گریزد از تو هم گیرد حذر
Just as the evil wasp flees from the water, it will also avoid you.
بعد از آن خواهی تو دور از آب باشکه بسر هم طبع آبی خواجه تاش
After that, if you wish, you may be far from the water, for in your inner nature, O master, you are of the same nature as water.
بس کسانی کز جهان بگذشته اندلا نیند و در صفات آغشته اند
Many are those who have passed away from the world; they are not non-existent, but are immersed in the Divine Attributes.
در صفات حق صفات جمله شانهم چو اختر پیش آن خور بی نشان
In the Attributes of God, the attributes of all of them are like a star, traceless before that Sun.
گر ز قرآن نقل خواهی ای حرونخوان جمیع هم لدینا محضرون
If you want a citation from the Quran, O stubborn one, read: 'All of them are brought before Us.'
محضرون معدوم نبود نیک بینتا بقای روحها دانی یقین
'Those who are brought' are not non-existent; look well, so that you may know for certain the survival of souls.
روح محجوب از بقا بس در عذابروح واصل در بقا پاک از حجاب
The soul that is veiled is in great torment because of its survival; the soul that has attained union is pure from veils in survival.
زین چراغ حس حیوان المرادگفتمت هان تا نجویی اتحاد
From this lamp of the animal sense, I have told you: beware that you do not seek unity!
روح خود را متصل کن ای فلانزود با ارواح قدس سالکان
Connect your soul, O so-and-so, quickly with the holy souls of the wayfarers.
صد چراغت ار مرند ار بیستندپس جدا اند و یگانه نیستند
Whether you have a hundred lamps or twenty, they are separate and not one.
زان همه جنگند این اصحاب ماجنگ کس نشنید اندر انبیا
Because of this, these companions of ours are all in conflict; no one ever heard of conflict among the prophets.
زانک نور انبیا خورشید بودنور حس ما چراغ و شمع و دود
For the light of the prophets was the sun, while the light of our senses is a lamp, a candle, and smoke.
یک بمیرد یک بماند تا به روزیک بود پژمرده دیگر با فروز
One dies, one remains until daybreak; one is faded, another is radiant.
جان حیوانی بود حی از غذاهم بمیرد او بهر نیک و بذی
The animal soul is alive through food; it also dies through every good and evil event.
گر بمیرد این چراغ و طی شودخانهٔ همسایه مظلم کی شود
If this lamp dies and is extinguished, how does the neighbor's house become dark?
نور آن خانه چو بی این هم به پاستپس چراغ حس هر خانه جداست
Since the light of that house is still standing without this one, therefore the lamp of the senses of every house is separate.
این مثال جان حیوانی بودنه مثال جان ربانی بود
This is the analogy of the animal soul; it is not the analogy of the divine soul.
باز از هندوی شب چون ماه زاددر سر هر روزنی نوری فتاد
Again, when the moon is born from the Hindu of the night, a light falls through every window.
نور آن صد خانه را تو یک شمرکه نماند نور این بی آن دگر
Count the light of those hundred houses as one, for the light of this one does not remain without the other.
تا بود خورشید تابان بر افقهست در هر خانه نور او قنق
As long as the sun is shining on the horizon, its light is a guest in every house.
باز چون خورشید جان آفل شودنور جمله خانه ها زایل شود
Again, when the sun of the soul sets, the light of all the houses vanishes.
این مثال نور آمد مثل نیمر ترا هادی عدو را ره زنی
This is an analogy of the light, not an exact equivalent; it is a guide for you, and a highway robber for the enemy.
بر مثال عنکبوت آن زشت خوپرده های گنده را بر بافد او
Like the spider, that evil-tempered one weaves foul webs.
از لعاب خویش پردهٔ نور کرددیدهٔ ادراک خود را کور کرد
With its own saliva, it made a veil over the light, and made the eye of its own perception blind.
گردن اسپ ار بگیرد بر خوردور بگیرد پاش بستاند لگد
If he holds the horse's neck, he benefits; but if he holds its leg, he gets kicked.
کم نشین بر اسپ توسن بی لگامعقل و دین را پیشوا کن والسلام
Do not ride a wild horse without a bridle; make intellect and religion your guide, and that is all.
اندرین آهنگ منگر سست و پستکاندرین ره صبر و شق انفسست
Do not look upon this path as weak and low, for in this way there is patience and the rending of souls.
