دفتر ششم - بخش ۷۷ - رجوع کردن به قصهٔ قبه و گنج / Book Six - Section 77 - Returning to the Story of the Dome and the Treasure

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

نک خیال آن فقیرم بی ریا	عاجز آورد از بیا و از بیا
Behold, the sincere thought of that dervish Has made me helpless with its 'Come, come!'
بانگ او تو نشنوی من بشنوم	زانک در اسرار همراز ویم
You do not hear his cry; I hear it, Because I am his confidant in secrets.
طالب گنجش مبین خود گنج اوست	دوست کی باشد به معنی غیر دوست
Do not see him as a seeker of the treasure, for he is the treasure himself; How can the Friend be, in reality, other than the Friend?
سجده خود را می کند هر لحظه او	سجده پیش آینه ست از بهر رو
He prostrates to himself at every moment; Prostration before the mirror is for the sake of the face.
گر بدیدی ز آینه او یک پشیز	بی خیالی زو نماندی هیچ چیز
If he saw even a mite of himself from the mirror, Without illusion, nothing of him would remain.
هم خیالاتش هم او فانی شدی	دانش او محو نادانی شدی
Both his illusions and he himself would vanish; His knowledge would be effaced by unknowing.
دانشی دیگر ز نادانی ما	سر برآوردی عیان که انی انا
Another knowledge, born of our unknowing, Would raise its head, declaring clearly, 'I am I.'
اسجدوا لادم ندا آمد همی	که آدمید و خویش بینیدش دمی
The call 'Prostrate to Adam' came forth, Saying, 'You are Adam; see yourself in him for a moment.'
احولی از چشم ایشان دور کرد	تا زمین شد عین چرخ لاژورد
He removed the squint of double vision from their eyes, Until the earth became the very essence of the azure sky.
لا اله گفت و الا الله گفت	گشت لا الا الله و وحدت شکفت
He said 'There is no god,' and he said 'Except Allah'; He became 'There is no god but Allah,' and unity blossomed.
آن حبیب و آن خلیل با رشد	وقت آن آمد که گوش ما کشد
That Beloved and that guided Friend, The time has come for him to pull our ear,
سوی چشمه که دهان زینها بشو	آنچ پوشیدیم از خلقان مگو
Towards the spring, saying, 'Wash your mouth from these; Do not speak of what We have concealed from the people.
ور بگویی خود نگردد آشکار	تو به قصد کشف گردی جرم دار
And even if you tell it, it will not become manifest; You will only become guilty for the intention to reveal.'
لیک من اینک بریشان می تنم	قایل این سامع این هم منم
But lo, I am weaving upon them; The speaker of this and the hearer of this, I am both.
صورت درویش و نقش گنج گو	رنج کیش اند این گروه از رنج گو
Speak of the form of the dervish and the image of the treasure; This group is devoted to suffering, speak of suffering!
چشمهٔ راحت بریشان شد حرام	می خورند از زهر قاتل جام جام
The spring of comfort is forbidden to them; They drink cups and cups of deadly poison.
خاکها پر کرده دامن می کشند	تا کنند این چشمه ها را خشک بند
They drag their skirts filled with dust, So that they may dam and dry up these springs.
کی شود این چشمهٔ دریامدد	مکتنس زین مشت خاک نیک و بد
How can this spring, assisted by the sea, Be swept away by this handful of good and bad dust?
لیک گوید با شما من بسته ام	بی شما من تا ابد پیوسته ام
But it says, 'To you I am closed; Without you, I am flowing for eternity.'
قوم معکوس اند اندر مشتها	خاک خوار و آب را کرده رها
They are an inverted people; in their fists, They are dirt-eaters and have let the water go.
ضد طبع انبیا دارند خلق	اژدها را متکا دارند خلق
The people have a nature opposite to the prophets; The people have made a dragon their cushion.
چشم بند ختم چون دانسته ای	هیچ دانی از چه دیده بسته ای
Since you have known the blindfold of the seal, Do you know at all from what you have closed your eyes?
بر چه بگشادی بدل این دیده ها	یک به یک بئس البدل دان آن ترا
For what have you opened these eyes in exchange? Know that each one is a wretched exchange for you!
لیک خورشید عنایت تافته ست	آیسان را از کرم در یافته ست
But the sun of providence has shone; Out of grace, it has reached out to the despairing.
نرد بس نادر ز رحمت باخته	عین کفران را انابت ساخته
It has played a very rare game of backgammon out of mercy; It has made the very essence of ingratitude into repentance.
هم ازین بدبختی خلق آن جواد	منفجر کرده دو صد چشمهٔ وداد
Even from this wretchedness of the people, that Generous One Has made two hundred springs of love burst forth.
غنچه را از خار سرمایه دهد	مهره را از مار پیرایه دهد
He gives the rosebud its capital from the thorn; He gives the bead its ornament from the snake.
از سواد شب برون آرد نهار	وز کف معسر برویاند یسار
From the blackness of night He brings forth the day; And from the hand of the destitute He makes wealth grow.
آرد سازد ریگ را بهر خلیل	کوه با داود گردد هم رسیل
He turns sand into flour for the Friend (Abraham); The mountain becomes a singing companion with David.
کوه با وحشت در آن ابر ظلم	بر گشاید بانگ چنگ و زیر و بم
The mountain, in awe within that cloud of oppression, Releases the sound of the harp, both high and low notes.
خیز ای داود از خلقان نفیر	ترک آن کردی عوض از ما بگیر
'Arise, O David, cry out away from the people; You abandoned that, [now] take the substitute from Us.'
