دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۸۸ - رسیدن آن عاشق به معشوق خویش چون دست از جان خود بشست / Book Three - Section 188 - The Arrival of That Lover to His Beloved When He Washed His Hands of His Own Life

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

همچو گویی سجده کن بر رو و سرجانب آن صدر شد با چشم تر
As if told, "Prostrate on face and head,"
He went toward that chief with tear-filled eyes.
جمله خلقان منتظر سر در هواکش بسوزد یا برآویزد ورا
All the people waited, heads craned upward,
Whether he would be burned or hanged.
این زمان این احمق یک لخت راآن نماید که زمان بدبخت را
At this moment, this utter fool
Shows what the hour of the wretched shows.
همچو پروانه شرر را نور دیداحمقانه در فتاد از جان برید
Like a moth that saw the spark as light,
Foolishly he fell in, cut off from life.
لیک شمع عشق چون آن شمع نیستروشن اندر روشن اندر روشنیست
But the candle of Love is not like that candle—
It is light within light within light.
او به عکس شمعهای آتشیستمی نماید آتش و جمله خوشیست
It is the inverse of fire-candles:
It appears as fire, yet is all bliss.
