متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بود عبدالغوث هم جنس پریچون پری نه سال در پنهان پری
Abdul Ghawth was of the same nature as the fairies,
Like a fairy, he flew in hiding for nine years.
شد زنش را نسل از شوی دگروآن یتیمانش ز مرگش در سمر
His wife had offspring from another husband,
And his orphans were telling tales of his death,
که مرورا گرگ زد یا ره زنییا فتاد اندر چهی یا مکمنی
That a wolf attacked him or a highwayman,
Or he fell into a well or an ambush.
جمله فرزندانش در اشغال مستخود نگفتندی که بابایی بدست
All his children were engrossed in their occupations,
They did not even say they had a father.
بعد نه سال آمد او هم عاریهگشت پیدا باز شد متواریه
After nine years he came, though only on loan;
He appeared, and then became hidden again.
یک مهی مهمان فرزندان خویشبود و زان پس کس ندیدش رنگ بیش
For a month he was a guest of his own children,
And after that, no one saw his face anymore.
برد هم جنسی پریانش چنانکه رباید روح را زخم سنان
His homogeneity with the fairies carried him off in such a way,
As the wound of a spear snatches away the spirit.
چون بهشتی جنس جنت آمدستهم ز جنسیت شود یزدان پرست
Since a person of Paradise is homogeneous with Paradise,
Also from homogeneity he becomes a worshipper of God.
نه نبی فرمود جود و محمدهشاخ جنت دان به دنیا آمده
Did not the Prophet say that generosity and praiseworthiness,
Consider them branches of Paradise come to the world?
مهرها را جمله جنس مهر خوانقهرها را جمله جنس قهر دان
Call all affections the same kind as affection;
Consider all wraths the same kind as wrath.
لاابالی لا ابالی آوردزانک جنس هم بوند اندر خرد
The careless person brings the careless,
Because they are of the same kind in intellect.
بود جنسیت در ادریس از نجومهشت سال او با زحل بد در قدوم
There was homogeneity with the stars in Idris;
For eight years he was the companion of Saturn.
در مشارق در مغارب یار اوهم حدیث و محرم آثار او
In the Easts and the Wests he was his friend,
A converser and confidant of his traces.
بعد غیبت چونک آورد او قدومدر زمین می گفت او درس نجوم
After his absence, when he arrived,
On earth he would teach the lesson of astronomy.
پیش او استارگان خوش صف زدهاختران در درس او حاضر شده
Before him, the stars beautifully lined up;
The celestial bodies were present in his lesson.
آنچنان که خلق آواز نجوممی شنیدند از خصوص و از عموم
In such a way that the people heard the voice of the stars,
Both the elite and the commoners.
جذب جنسیت کشیده تا زمیناختران را پیش او کرده مبین
The attraction of homogeneity drew them down to the earth;
It made the stars manifest before him.
هر یکی نام خود و احوال خودباز گفته پیش او شرح رصد
Each one recounted its own name and condition;
Before him, the explanation of observation.
چیست جنسیت یکی نوع نظرکه بدان یابند ره در هم دگر
What is homogeneity? A kind of looking,
By which they find a way into one another.
آن نظر که کرد حق در وی نهانچون نهد در تو تو گردی جنس آن
That look which Truth [God] has hidden in it,
When He places it in you, you become of its kind.
هر طرف چه می کشد تن را نظربی خبر را کی کشاند با خبر
To every side, how does the look draw the body?
How does the informed one draw the uninformed?
چونک اندر مرد خوی زن نهداو مخنث گردد و گان می دهد
When He puts the disposition of a woman in a man,
He becomes effeminate and gives himself to being mounted.
چون نهد در زن خدا خوی نریطالب زن گردد آن زن سعتری
When God places a male disposition in a woman,
That woman becomes a seeker of women (a tribade).
چون نهد در تو صفات جبرئیلهم چو فرخی بر هواجویی سبیل
When He places the attributes of Gabriel in you,
Like a bird, you seek a path in the air.
منتظر بنهاده دیده در هوااز زمین بیگانه عاشق بر سما
Waiting, having fixed your eyes on the air;
Alienated from the earth, a lover of the sky.
چون نهد در تو صفت های خریصد پرت گر هست بر آخر پری
When He places the attributes of a donkey in you,
Even if you have a hundred wings, you fly to the manger.
از پی صورت نیامد موش خواراز خبیثی شد زبون موش خوار
The mouse-eater did not become a mouse-eater for the sake of form;
Out of foulness it became subservient to eating mice.
طعمه جوی و خاین و ظلمت پرستاز پنیر و فستق و دوشاب مست
Seeking prey, treacherous, and worshipping darkness;
Intoxicated by cheese, pistachio, and grape-syrup.
باز اشهب را چو باشد خوی موشننگ موشان باشد و عار وحوش
When the white falcon has the disposition of a mouse,
It becomes the disgrace of mice and the shame of wild beasts.
خوی آن هاروت و ماروت ای پسرچون بگشت و دادشان خوی بشر
The disposition of Harut and Marut, O son,
When it changed, and He gave them human disposition,
در فتادند از لنحن الصافوندر چه بابل ببسته سرنگون
They fell from 'Indeed we are those who stand in ranks',
Bound upside down in the well of Babylon.
لوح محفوظ از نظرشان دور شدلوح ایشان ساحر و مسحور شد
The Preserved Tablet became far from their sight;
Their tablet became the sorcerer and the bewitched.
پر همان و سر همان هیکل همانموسیی بر عرش و فرعونی مهان
The wings the same, the head the same, the figure the same;
A Moses upon the throne and a Pharaoh disgraced.
در پی خو باش و با خوش خو نشینخوپذیری روغن گل را ببین
Be in pursuit of disposition and sit with the good-natured;
Look at the disposition-accepting nature of rose oil.
خاک گور از مرد هم یابد شرفتا نهد بر گور او دل روی و کف
Even the dust of the grave gains nobility from the dead man,
So that the heart places its face and palms on his grave.
خاک از همسایگی جسم پاکچون مشرف آمد و اقبال ناک
Since the dust, from the neighborhood of the pure body,
Became honored and full of good fortune,
پس تو هم الجار ثم الدار گوگر دلی داری برو دلدار جو
Then you too, say, 'First the neighbor, then the house';
If you have a heart, go seek a sweetheart.
خاک او هم سیرت جان می شودسرمهٔ چشم عزیزان می شود
His dust also becomes of the nature of the soul;
It becomes collyrium for the eyes of the dear ones.
ای بسا در گور خفته خاک واربه ز صد احیا به نفع و انتشار
Oh, many a one sleeping in the grave like dust,
Is better than a hundred living people in benefit and diffusion.
سایه برده او و خاکش سایه مندصد هزاران زنده در سایهٔ ویند
He has taken his shadow away, yet his dust is shadow-casting;
A hundred thousand living ones are in his shadow.
