دفتر سوم - بخش ۲۰۲ - ذکرخیال بد اندیشیدن قاصر فهمان / Book Three - Section 202 - Mentioning the Evil Imagination of Those Deficient in Understanding

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پیش از آنک این قصه تا مخلص رسددود و گندی آمد از اهل حسد
Before this story reaches its conclusion,
A smoke and stench arose from the people of envy.
من نمی رنجم ازین لیک این لگدخاطر ساده دلی را پی کند
I am not pained by this, yet this kick
May bruise the heart of a simple-souled one.
خوش بیان کرد آن حکیم غزنویبهر محجوبان مثال معنوی
That sage of Ghazna spoke beautifully,
A spiritual parable for those who are veiled:
که ز قرآن گر نبیند غیر قالاین عجب نبود ز اصحاب ضلال
That if from the Quran one sees nothing but the outer word,
This is no wonder among the companions of error —
کز شعاع آفتاب پر ز نورغیر گرمی می نیابد چشم کور
For from the rays of the sun, full of light,
A blind eye finds nothing but warmth.
خربطی ناگاه از خرخانه ایسر برون آورد چون طعانه ای
Suddenly a dullard from some ass-stable
Thrust his head out like a detractor,
کین سخن پستست یعنی مثنویقصه پیغامبرست و پی روی
Saying: "This speech is base — I mean the Masnavi —
It is stories of prophets and the following of their ways.
نیست ذکر بحث و اسرار بلندکه دوانند اولیا آن سو سمند
There is no mention of lofty discourse and secrets
Toward which the saints race their steeds,
از مقامات تبتل تا فناپایه پایه تا ملاقات خدا
From the stations of devotion (tabattul) to annihilation (fana),
Step by step to the encounter with God —
شرح و حد هر مقام و منزلیکه بپر زو بر پرد صاحب دلی
The exposition and boundary of each station and waystation,
By which a person of heart might take wing and soar."
چون کتاب الله بیامد هم بر آناین چنین طعنه زدند آن کافران
Just as when the Book of God came, the unbelievers likewise
Cast such slanders against it:
که اساطیرست و افسانهٔ نژندنیست تعمیقی و تحقیقی بلند
"It is legends and wretched fables,
There is no profound inquiry nor lofty investigation;
کودکان خرد فهمش می کنندنیست جز امر پسند و ناپسند
Even young children can grasp it —
It is nothing but commands of approval and disapproval.
ذکر یوسف ذکر زلف پر خمشذکر یعقوب و زلیخا و غمش
The mention of Joseph, the mention of his curl-filled hair,
The mention of Jacob, Zulaykha, and her grief.
ظاهرست و هرکسی پی می بردکو بیان که گم شود در وی خرد
It is outward, and everyone grasps it —
Where is the exposition in which the intellect becomes lost?"
گفت اگر آسان نماید این به تواین چنین آسان یکی سوره بگو
He said: "If this seems easy to you,
Then produce one sura this easily.
جنتان و انستان و اهل کارگو یکی آیت ازین آسان بیار
Let all the jinn and humans and people of craft
Bring forth one verse this easy."
