دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۶۰ - خبر کردن خروس از مرگ خواجه / Book Three - Section 160 - The Rooster Informing of the Master's Death

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

لیک فردا خواهد او مردن یقینگاو خواهد کشت وارث در حنین
But tomorrow he will surely die—
The heir will slaughter a cow in lamentation.
صاحب خانه بخواهد مرد رفتروز فردا نک رسیدت لوت زفت
The master of the house will have died and gone;
Come tomorrow, lo—a great feast has arrived for you!
پاره های نان و لالنگ و طعامدر میان کوی یابد خاص و عام
Pieces of bread and flatbread and food
The highborn and the common alike will find in the street.
گاو قربانی و نانهای تنکبر سگان و سایلان ریزد سبک
Sacrificial cow and thin loaves of bread
Will be freely scattered upon dogs and beggars.
مرگ اسپ و استر و مرگ غلامبد قضا گردان این مغرور خام
Death of horse and mule and death of servant
Was the averter of destiny for this vain, raw man.
از زیان مال و درد آن گریختمال افزون کرد و خون خویش ریخت
He fled from the loss of wealth and its pain;
He multiplied his wealth and spilled his own blood.
این ریاضتهای درویشان چراستکان بلا بر تن بقای جانهاست
Why are these austerities of the dervishes?
Because that affliction upon the body is the preservation of souls.
تا بقای خود نیابد سالکیچون کند تن را سقیم و هالکی
Until a wayfarer has not found his own subsistence,
How can he make the body sick and bring it to ruin?
دست کی جنبد به ایثار و عملتا نبیند داده را جانش بدل
When will the hand stir toward self-sacrifice and deed,
Until his soul sees a return for what it gave?
آنک بدهد بی امید سودهاآن خدایست آن خدایست آن خدا
The one who gives without hope of gains—
That is God, that is God, that is God.
یا ولی حق که خوی حق گرفتنور گشت و تابش مطلق گرفت
Or the walī of God who has taken on the character of God,
Who became light and attained absolute radiance.
کو غنی است و جز او جمله فقیرکی فقیری بی عوض گوید که گیر
He is the Rich (al-Ghanī), and all others beside Him are poor—
When does a poor man say "take" without exchange?
تا نبیند کودکی که سیب هستاو پیاز گنده را ندهد ز دست
Until a child sees that an apple exists,
He will not let the stinking onion go from his hand.
این همه بازار بهر این غرضبر دکانها شسته بر بوی عوض
All this marketplace exists for this one purpose:
Seated at their stalls in hope of return.
صد متاع خوب عرضه می کنندواندرون دل عوضها می تنند
They display a hundred fine wares,
While in their hearts they weave expectations of exchange.
یک سلامی نشنوی ای مرد دینکه نگیرد آخرت آن آستین
You will not hear a single greeting, O man of religion,
That in the end does not grasp at your sleeve.
بی طمع نشنیده ام از خاص و عاممن سلامی ای برادر والسلام
Without greed I have not heard a greeting
From noble or common, O brother—and peace be upon you.
جز سلام حق هین آن را بجوخانه خانه جا بجا و کو بکو
Except the greeting of God—heed! Seek that one,
House by house, place by place, and alley by alley.
از دهان آدمی خوش مشامهم پیام حق شنودم هم سلام
From the mouth of a sweet-scented human being,
I have heard both the message of God and His greeting.
وین سلام باقیان بر بوی آنمن همی نوشم به دل خوشتر ز جان
And these greetings of the rest, by the fragrance of that,
I drink gladly in my heart, sweeter than life itself.
زان سلام او سلام حق شدستکآتش اندر دودمان خود زدست
For his greeting has become the greeting of God,
Because he has set fire to his own house and lineage.
مرده است از خود شده زنده بربزان بود اسرار حقش در دو لب
He has died to self, become alive in the Lord;
That is why the secrets of God rest upon his lips.
مردن تن در ریاضت زندگیسترنج این تن روح را پایندگیست
The death of the body in austerity is life;
The suffering of this body is the soul's perpetuity.
گوش بنهاده بد آن مرد خبیثمی شنود او از خروسش آن حدیث
That wicked man had his ear laid down,
He hears that account from his rooster.
