متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت بهلول آن یکی درویش راچونی ای درویش ؟ واقف کن مرا
Bahlul said to a certain dervish:
"How are you, O dervish? Inform me."
گفت «چون باشد کسی که جاودانبر مراد او رود کار جهان
He replied, "How can one be, when eternally
The affairs of the world proceed according to his desire?
سیل و جوها بر مراد او رونداختران زان سان که خواهد آن شوند
Torrents and streams flow according to his desire;
The stars become exactly as he wishes them to be.
زندگی و مرگ ، سرهنگان اوبر مراد او روانه کو به کو
Life and death are his officers,
Moving from street to street according to his desire.
هر کجا خواهد فرستد تعزیتهر کجا خواهد ببخشد تهنیت
Wherever he wishes, he sends mourning;
Wherever he wishes, he grants congratulations.
سالکان راه هم بر گام اوماندگان از راه هم در دام او
The wayfarers of the path also step according to his pace;
Those who lag behind on the path are also in his snare.
هیچ دندانی نخندد در جهانبی رضا و امر آن فرمان روان »
No teeth smile in the world
Without the consent and command of that ruler."
گفت «ای شه راست گفتی همچنیندر فر و سیمای تو پیداست این
He said, "O king, you have spoken truly thus;
In your splendor and countenance, this is evident.
این و صد چندینی ای صادق ولیکشرح کن این را بیان کن نیک نیک
You are this and a hundred times more, O truthful one, but
Explain this, elucidate it very well.
آنچنان که فاضل و مرد فضولچون به گوش او رسد ، آرد قبول
In such a way that the learned and the inquisitive man,
When it reaches his ears, may accept it.
آنچنانش شرح کن اندر کلامکه از آن هم بهره یابد عقل عام
Explain it in speech in such a way
That the common intellect may also derive benefit from it.
ناطق کامل چو خوان پاشی بودخوانش بر هر گونهٔ آشی بود
For the perfect speaker is like one who spreads a feast;
On his table is every kind of dish.
که نماند هیچ مهمان بی نواهر کسی یابد غذای خود جدا
So that no guest remains unprovided for;
Everyone finds his own food separately.
همچو قرآن که به معنی هفت توستخاص را و عام را مطعم دروست »
Like the Quran, which has seven layers of meaning;
In it is food for the elite and the commoners."
گفت «این باری یقین شد پیش عامکه جهان در امر یزدان است رام
He said, "This at least has become certain to the common people,
That the world is submissive to the command of God.
هیچ برگی در نیفتد از درختبی قضا و حکم آن سلطان بخت
No leaf falls from a tree
Without the decree and judgment of that Sultan of Fortune.
از دهان لقمه نشد سوی گلوتا نگوید لقمه را حق که ادخلوا
No morsel passes from the mouth to the throat
Until God says to the morsel, 'Enter.'
میل و رغبت کان زمام آدمی ستجنبش آن رام امر آن غنی ست
Desire and inclination, which are the reins of humanity;
Their movement is submissive to the command of that Rich One.
در زمین ها و آسمان ها ذره ایپر نجنباند نگردد پره ای
In the earths and the heavens, not a single atom
Moves a wing or turns a gear
جز به فرمان قدیم نافذششرح نتوان کرد و جلدی نیست خوش
Except by His eternal, penetrating command;
It cannot be explained, and haste is not good.
کی شمرد برگ درختان را تمام ؟بی نهایت کی شود در نطق رام ؟
Who can count the leaves of the trees completely?
How can the infinite be tamed into speech?
این قدر بشنو که چون کلی کارمی نگردد جز به امر کردگار
Hear this much: since the entirety of affairs
Does not revolve except by the Creator's command;
چون قضای حق رضای بنده شدحکم او را بندهٔ خواهنده شد
When the decree of God becomes the servant's pleasure,
The servant becomes a desirer of His judgment.
بی تکلف، نه پی مزد و ثواببلک طبع او چنین شد مستطاب
Without constraint, not for the sake of reward and recompense;
Rather, his nature has become so pure and agreeable.
زندگی خود نخواهد بهر خوذنه پی ذوقی حیات مستلذ
He does not desire his own life for himself,
Nor for the sake of the delight of an enjoyable life.
هرکجا امر قدم را مسلکی ستزندگی و مردگی پیشش یکی ست
Wherever there is a path for the eternal command,
Life and death are one to him.
بهر یزدان می زید نه بهر گنجبهر یزدان می مرد نه از خوف رنج
He lives for God, not for treasure;
He dies for God, not from fear of suffering.
هست ایمانش برای خواست اونه برای جنت و اشجار و جو
His faith is for the sake of His desire,
Not for paradise, trees, and streams.
ترک کفرش هم برای حق بودنه ز بیم آنکه در آتش رود
His abandonment of disbelief is also for the sake of God,
Not from the fear that he might go into the fire.
این چنین آمد ز اصل ، آن خوی اونه ریاضت ، نه به جست و جوی او
Such is his character from its very origin;
Not by asceticism, nor by his seeking.
آنگهان خندد که او بیند رضاهمچو حلوای شکر او را قضا
He laughs at that moment when he sees God's pleasure;
Destiny is to him like sugar halva.
بنده ای کش خوی و خلقت این بودنه جهان بر امر و فرمانش رود ؟
A servant whose character and disposition is this;
Does not the world proceed according to his command and decree?
پس چرا لابه کند او یا دعا ؟که بگردان ای خداوند این قضا
Then why should he implore or pray:
'O Lord, turn away this decree'?
مرگ او و مرگ فرزندان اوبهر حق پیشش چو حلوا در گلو
His death and the death of his children,
For the sake of God, are like halva in his throat.
نزع فرزندان بر آن باوفاچون قطایف پیش شیخ بی نوا
The agony of death of his children to that loyal one,
Is like sweet pastries before a destitute sheikh.
پس چرا گوید دعا الا مگردر دعا بیند رضای دادگر
Then why would he pray, except perhaps
He sees the pleasure of the Just Judge in prayer.
آن شفاعت و آن دعا نه از رحم خودمی کند آن بندهٔ صاحب رشد
That intercession and that prayer, not out of self-pity,
Does that spiritually mature servant make.
رحم خود را او همان دم سوخته ستکه چراغ عشق حق افروخته ست
He burned his self-pity at that very moment
When he kindled the lamp of the love of God.
دوزخ اوصاف او عشقست و اوسوخت مر اوصاف خود را مو به مو
His love is the hell (consumer) of his own attributes, and he
Has burned his own attributes, hair by hair.
هر طروقی این فروقی کی شناخت ؟جز دقوقی تا درین دولت بتاخت
When did every wayfarer recognize these distinctions?
Except Daquqi, when he hastened into this spiritual state."
