متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت پیغامبر که معراج مرانیست بر معراج یونس اجتبا
The Prophet said: "My mi'raj
Has no preference over the mi'raj of Yunus.
آن من بر چرخ و آن او نشیبزانک قرب حق برونست از حسیب
Mine was upward to the heavens, his was downward—
For nearness to God is beyond all reckoning.
قرب نه بالا نه پستی رفتنستقرب حق از حبس هستی رستنست
Nearness is not going high or going low;
Nearness to God is being freed from the prison of existence.
نیست را چه جای بالا است و زیرنیست را نه زود و نه دورست و دیر
For Nothingness, what place is there for up or down?
For Nothingness, there is no near or far, no soon or late.
کارگاه و گنج حق در نیستیستغرهٔ هستی چه دانی نیست چیست
The workshop and treasure of God are in Nothingness;
O you deceived by existence, what do you know of what Nothingness is?
حاصل این اشکست ایشان ای کیامی نماند هیچ با اشکست ما
The sum of their defeat, O master,
Bears no resemblance whatsoever to our defeat.
آنچنان شادند در ذل و تلفهمچو ما در وقت اقبال و شرف
They are as joyful in humiliation and ruin
As we are in times of fortune and honor.
برگ بی برگی همه اقطاع اوستفقر و خواریش افتخارست و علوست
The provision of provisionlessness is all his fief;
His poverty and abasement are his pride and exaltation.
آن یکی گفت ار چنانست آن ندیدچون بخندید او که ما را بسته دید
One of them said: "If he is such, why did he not see?
Why did he laugh when he saw us in chains?
چونک او مبدل شدست و شادیشنیست زین زندان و زین آزادیش
Since he has been transformed, his joy
Is not from this prison or from this freedom.
پس به قهر دشمنان چون شاد شدچون ازین فتح و ظفر پر باد شد
Then why did his soul rejoice at the defeat of enemies?
Why was he so puffed up with this victory and triumph?
شاد شد جانش که بر شیران نریافت آسان نصرت و دست و ظفر
His soul rejoiced because against the male lions
He easily gained victory and power and triumph.
پس بدانستیم کو آزاد نیستجز به دنیا دلخوش و دلشاد نیست
So we knew that he is not free—
He is content and glad only in this world.
ورنه چون خندد که اهل آن جهانبر بد و نیک اند مشفق مهربان
For otherwise, how would he laugh? For the people of that other world
Are compassionate and kind toward both good and bad."
این بمنگیدند در زیر زبانآن اسیران با هم اندر بحث آن
The prisoners murmured this under their tongues,
Discussing it among themselves—
تا موکل نشنود بر ما جهدخود سخن در گوش آن سلطان برد
So that the guardian would not hear and strive against them;
But the speech itself carried to the ear of that Sultan.
