متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پس سلیمان گفت ای زیبا دویامر حق باید که از جان بشنوی
Then Solomon said: O seeker of beauty,
The command of the Truth must be heard with the soul.
حق به من گفته ست هان ای دادورمشنو از خصمی تو بی خصمی دگر
The Truth has told me: Heed, O dispenser of justice,
Hear not from one party without another party.
تا نیاید هر دو خصم اندر حضورحق نیاید پیش حاکم در ظهور
Until both adversaries come into presence,
Truth cannot manifest before the judge.
خصم تنها، گر بر آرد صد نفیرهان و هان بی خصم قول او مگیر
If one adversary alone raises a hundred cries,
Heed, heed — without the adversary, accept not his word.
من نیارم رو ز فرمان تافتنخصم خود را رو بیاور سوی من
I cannot turn my face from the command;
Go, bring your adversary before me.
گفت قول تست برهان و درستخصم من بادست و او در حکم تست
He said: Your word is proof and true;
My adversary is the wind, and he is under your authority.
بانگ بر زد آن شه ای باد صباپشه افغان کرد از ظلمت، بیا
The king called out: O morning wind (Ṣabā),
The gnat has cried out against your oppression — come!
هین مقابل شو تو و خصم و بگوپاسخ خصم و بکن دفع عدو
Come, stand face to face with your adversary and speak;
Answer the adversary and repel the enemy.
باد چون بشنید آمد تیز تیزپشه بگرفت آن زمان راه گریز
When the wind heard, it came swiftly,
The gnat at that moment took the path of flight.
پس سلیمان گفت ای پشه کجا؟باش تا بر هر دو رانم من قضا
Then Solomon said: O gnat, where are you going?
Stay, that I may render judgment upon both.
گفت ای شه مرگ من از بود اوستخود سیاه این روز من از دود اوست
He said: O king, my death is from his very existence;
Indeed, the darkness of my day is from his smoke.
او چو آمد من کجا یابم قرارکو بر آرد از نهاد من دمار
When he comes, where can I find repose?
For he would bring utter ruin upon my very being.
همچنین جویای درگاه خداچون خدا آمد شود جوینده لا
So too the seeker of God's threshold:
When God comes, the seeker becomes naught (lā).
گرچه آن وصلت بقا اندر بقاستلیک ز اول آن بقا اندر فناست
Though that union is subsistence within subsistence (baqā dar baqā),
Yet at first that subsistence is within annihilation (fanā).
سایه هایی که بود جویای نورنیست گردد چون کند نورش ظهور
Shadows that sought the light
Are annihilated when the light manifests.
عقل کی ماند چو باشد سرده اوکل شیء هالک الا وجهه
How can the intellect remain when it is drunk?
"Everything perishes save His Face" (kullu shay'in hālikun illā wajhah).
هالک آید پیش وجهش هست و نیستهستی اندر نیستی خود طرفه ایست
Being and non-being both come to perish before His Face;
That being within non-being is itself a wonder.
اندرین محضر خردها شد ز دستچون قلم اینجا رسیده شد، شکست
In this presence, intellects lost themselves;
When the pen reached here, it broke.
