متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بعد از آن پرسان شد او از هر کسیشیخ را می جست از هر سو بسی
After that, he inquired of everyone,
Searching for the Sheikh abundantly in every direction.
پس کسی گفتش که آن قطب دیاررفت تا هیزم کشد از کوهسار
Then someone told him that the pole of the land (the great Sheikh)
Had gone to gather firewood from the mountain.
آن مرید ذوالفقاراندیش تفتدر هوای شیخ سوی بیشه رفت
That disciple, with thoughts sharp as Dhu'l-Fiqar, quickly
Went towards the forest in his longing for the Sheikh.
دیو می آورد پیش هوش مردوسوسه تا خفیه گردد مه ز گرد
The devil brought whispers to the man's mind,
So that the moon might be hidden by the dust (of doubt),
کین چنین زن را چرا این شیخ دیندارد اندر خانه یار و همنشین
Saying, 'Why does this Sheikh of religion
Keep such a woman as a companion and mate in his house?
ضد را با ضد ایناس از کجابا امام الناس نسناس از کجا
How can an opposite have affinity with its opposite?
How can a monster be with the leader of the people?'
باز او لاحول می کرد آتشینکه اعتراض من برو کفرست و کین
Again, he passionately recited 'There is no power but in God,'
Saying, 'My objection to him is disbelief and malice.
من کی باشم با تصرفهای حقکه بر آرد نفس من اشکال و دق
Who am I to question the actions of the Truth (God),
That my carnal soul should raise doubts and meticulous objections?'
باز نفسش حمله می آورد زودزین تعرف در دلش چون کاه دود
Again, his carnal soul quickly launched an attack,
From this seeking of knowledge, smoke rose in his heart like burning straw,
که چه نسبت دیو را با جبرئیلکه بود با او به صحبت هم مقیل
Saying, 'What relation does a demon have with Gabriel,
That it should be a companion sharing his resting place?
چون تواند ساخت با آزر خلیلچون تواند ساخت با ره زن دلیل
How can the Friend of God (Abraham) get along with Azar (the idol-maker)?
How can a guide get along with a highway robber?'
