متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت پیغامبر که اصحابی نجومره روان را شمع و شیطان را رجوم
The Prophet said: “My companions are stars, candles for wayfarers and missiles against devils.
هر کسی را گر بدی آن چشم و زورکو گرفتی ز آفتاب چرخ نور
If everyone possessed that eye and power by which he could take light from the sun of the heavens, what need would there be of a star, O lowly one, to point him toward the sun’s light?
کی ستاره حاجتستی ای ذلیلکه بدی بر نور خورشید او دلیل
The moon says to earth, cloud, and shadow: ‘I was human, yet revelation is given to me.
ماه می گوید به خاک و ابر و فیمن بشر بودم ولی یوحی الی
Like you, I was dark in my nature; the sun of revelation gave me such light.
چون شما تاریک بودم در نهادوحی خورشیدم چنین نوری بداد
I have darkness in relation to the suns, but I have light for the darknesses of souls.
ظلمتی دارم به نسبت با شموسنور دارم بهر ظلمات نفوس
I am weak for this reason, so that you may be able to endure the radiance, for you are not a man for the shining sun.
زان ضعیفم تا تو تابی آوریکه نه مرد آفتاب انوری
I mixed honey and vinegar together so that I might find a way to the suffering liver.
همچو شهد و سرکه در هم بافتمتا سوی رنج جگر ره یافتم
When you are freed from illness, O captive, leave the vinegar and eat honey.
چون ز علت وا رهیدی ای رهینسرکه را بگذار و می خور انگبین
The throne of the heart has been made flourishing and purified of desire; see that “the All-Merciful established Himself upon the Throne.”
تخت دل معمور شد پاک از هوابین که الرحمن علی العرش استوی
From now on, after the heart has found this relation, God will rule the heart without intermediary.
حکم بر دل بعد ازین بی واسطهحق کند چون یافت دل این رابطه
This discourse has no end.
این سخن پایان ندارد زید کوتا دهم پندش که رسوایی مجو
Where is Zayd, so that I may counsel him: do not seek disgrace?’”
