متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

قصه کوته کن که رای نفس کوربرد او را بعد سالی سوی گور
Cut the story short, for the judgment of the blind ego
Carried him to the grave after a year.
شاه چون از محو شد سوی وجودچشم مریخیش آن خون کرده بود
When the king returned from self-effacement to existence,
His martial eye had shed that blood.
چون به ترکش بنگرید آن بی نظیردید کم از ترکشش یک چوبه تیر
When that peerless one looked at his quiver,
He saw one arrow was missing from his quiver.
گفت کو آن تیر و از حق باز جستگفت که اندر حلق او کز تیر تست
He said, 'Where is that arrow?' and sought it from God;
He said, 'It is in his throat, from your arrow.'
عفو کرد آن شاه دریادل ولیآمده بد تیر اه بر مقتلی
That ocean-hearted king forgave him, but
The arrow of a sigh had struck a fatal spot.
کشته شد در نوحهٔ او می گریستاوست جمله هم کشنده و هم ولیست
He was killed, and he wept in lamentation for him;
He is everything: both the slayer and the guardian.
ور نباشد هر دو او پس کل نیستهم کشندهٔ خلق و هم ماتم کنیست
And if He is not both, then He is not the Whole;
He is both the slayer of creation and the mourner.
شکر می کرد آن شهید زردخدکان بزد بر جسم و بر معنی نزد
That pale-cheeked martyr gave thanks,
That he struck the body and did not strike the meaning (spirit).
جسم ظاهر عاقبت خود رفتنیستتا ابد معنی بخواهد شاد زیست
The outward body is ultimately destined to depart;
The meaning will live joyfully for eternity.
آن عتاب ار رفت هم بر پوست رفتدوست بی آزار سوی دوست رفت
If that reprimand occurred, it fell only upon the skin;
The friend went to the Friend unharmed.
گرچه او فتراک شاهنشه گرفتآخر از عین الکمال او ره گرفت
Although he grasped the saddle-strap of the King of kings,
In the end, he departed through the evil eye of perfection (ayn al-kamal).
و آن سوم کاهل ترین هر سه بودصورت و معنی به کلی او ربود
And that third one, who was the laziest of all three,
He completely carried off both form and meaning.
