دفتر چهارم - بخش ۹۲ - حمله بردن این جهانیان بر آن جهانیان و تاختن بردن تا سینور ذر و نسل کی سر حد غیب است و غفلت ایشان از کمین کی چون غازی به غزا نرود کافر تاختن آورد / Book Four — Section 92 — On the Attack of the Worldly upon the Otherworldly, and Their Raid Reaching as Far as the Boundary of the World of Ẕarr and of Lineage — Which Is the Frontier of the Unseen — and Their Heedlessness of the Ambush; for When the Holy Warrior Does Not Go to Battle, the Unbeliever Will Launch an Attack

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

حمله بردند اسپه جسمانیانجانب قلعه و دز روحانیان
The army of the corporeal ones launched an attack
Toward the fortress and stronghold of the spiritual ones,
تا فرو گیرند بر دربند غیبتا کسی ناید از آن سو پاک جیب
To seize and block the gateway of the Unseen,
That no pure-pocketed one may come from that side.
غازیان حملهٔ غزا چون کم برندکافران برعکس حمله آورند
When the warriors of holy war carry out fewer attacks,
The unbelievers launch their attacks in reverse.
غازیان غیب چون از حلم خویشحمله ناوردند بر تو زشت کیش
When the warriors of the Unseen, out of their own forbearance,
Did not launch an attack upon you, O evil-natured one,
حمله بردی سوی دربندان غیبتا نیایند این طرف مردان غیب
You launched an attack upon the gateways of the Unseen,
So that the men of the Unseen would not come to this side.
چنگ در صلب و رحمها در زدیتا که شارع را بگیری از بدی
You clutched at loins and wombs,
So as to seize the thoroughfare through wickedness.
چون بگیری شه رهی که ذوالجلالبر گشادست از برای انتسال
How do you seize the royal road that the Lord of Majesty
Has opened for the purpose of the descent of souls?
سد شدی دربندها را ای لجوجکوری تو کرد سرهنگی خروج
You have become a dam blocking the gateways, O obstinate one;
Your blindness made you a commander of rebellion.
نک منم سرهنگ هنگت بشکنمنک به نامش نام و ننگت بشکنم
Lo, I am the commander — I shall shatter your army;
Lo, by His Name, I shall shatter your name and your shame.
تو هلا در بندها را سخت بندچندگاهی بر سبال خود بخند
Come now, bind the gateways tight;
For a while, laugh at your own mustache.
سبلتت را بر کند یک یک قدرتا بدانی کالقدر یعمی الحذر
Destiny will pluck your mustache out, hair by hair,
So that you may know: "al-qadar yaʿmā al-ḥaẕar" [destiny blinds precaution].
سبلت تو تیزتر یا آن عادکه همی لرزید از دمشان بلاد
Is your mustache sharper than that of ʿĀd,
Whose very breath made cities tremble?
تو ستیزه روتری یا آن ثمودکه نیامد مثل ایشان در وجود
Are you more contentious than Thamūd,
Whose like has never come into existence?
صد ازینها گر بگویم تو کریبشنوی و ناشنوده آوری
If I speak a hundred such things, you are deaf;
You hear and yet pretend you have not heard.
توبه کردم از سخن که انگیختمبی سخن من دارویت آمیختم
I repent of the speech I have stirred up;
Without words, I have already mixed your remedy —
که نهم بر ریش خامت تا پزدیا بسوزد ریش و ریشه ت تا ابد
That I may lay it on your raw wound so it may ripen,
Or burn your wound and your root forever.
تا بدانی که خبیرست ای عدومی دهد هر چیز را درخورد او
So that you may know He is the All-Aware, O enemy —
He gives to each thing its fitting portion.
کی کژی کردی و کی کردی تو شرکه ندیدی لایقش در پی اثر
When did you do wrong, and when did you do evil,
That you did not see its fitting consequence in the aftermath?
کی فرستادی دمی بر آسماننیکیی کز پی نیامد مثل آن
When did you send a breath toward Heaven —
A goodness — whose like did not come after it?
گر مراقب باشی و بیدار توبینی هر دم پاسخ کردار تو
If you are watchful and awake,
You will see at every moment the response to your deeds.
چون مراقب باشی و گیری رسنحاجتت ناید قیامت آمدن
When you are watchful and seize the rope,
You will have no need for the Day of Resurrection to come.
آنک رمزی را بداند او صحیححاجتش ناید که گویندش صریح
One who truly understands a symbol
Has no need that it be spoken to him plainly.
این بلا از کودنی آید تراکه نکردی فهم نکته و رمزها
This affliction comes to you from dullness —
That you did not understand the subtleties and symbols.
از بدی چون دل سیاه و تیره شدفهم کن اینجا نشاید خیره شد
When the heart has grown black and dark from wickedness,
Understand: here one must not be bewildered.
ورنه خود تیری شود آن تیرگیدر رسد در تو جزای خیرگی
Otherwise that very darkness will become an arrow,
And the punishment for impudence will strike you.
ور نیاید تیر از بخشایش استنه پی نادیدن آلایش است
And if the arrow does not come, it is from mercy —
Not because the defilement has gone unseen.
هین مراقب باش گر دل بایدتکز پی هر فعل چیزی زایدت
Heed! Be watchful, if you desire a heart,
For after every act, something will be born to you.
ور ازین افزون ترا همت بوداز مراقب کار بالاتر رود
And if your aspiration is greater than this,
The work will rise above mere watchfulness.
