متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

تا یکی یاری ز یاران رسولدر دلش انکار آمد زان نکول
Then one of the Messenger's companions felt objection arise in his heart because of that refusal: "How can this Prophet shame such gray-haired, dignified elders?
که چنین پیران با شیب و وقارمی‌کندشان این پیمبر شرمسار
Where are generosity, fault-covering, and modesty?
کو کرم کو سترپوشی کو حیاصد هزاران عیب پوشند انبیا
Prophets cover hundreds of thousands of faults."
باز در دل زود استغفار کردتا نگردد ز اعتراض او روی‌زرد
Then he quickly asked forgiveness in his heart, lest he turn pale from that objection.
شومی یاری اصحاب نفاقکرد مؤمن را چو ایشان زشت و عاق
The ill effect of companionship with the people of hypocrisy made the believer, like them, ugly and disobedient.
باز می‌زارید کای علام سرمر مرا مگذار بر کفران مصر
Again he lamented: "O Knower of secrets, do not leave me persisting in ingratitude.
دل به دستم نیست همچون دید چشمورنه دل را سوزمی این دم ز خشم
My heart is not in my hand, just as the eye's seeing is not; otherwise I would burn the heart this instant out of anger."
اندرین اندیشه خوابش در ربودمسجد ایشانش پر سرگین نمود
In this thought sleep seized him and showed him their mosque full of dung.
سنگهاش اندر حدث جای تباهمی‌دمید از سنگها دود سیاه
Its stones were in filth, in a ruined place; black smoke was rising from the stones.
دود در حلقش شد و حلقش بخستاز نهیب دود تلخ از خواب جست
The smoke entered his throat and wounded it; from the terror of the bitter smoke he sprang from sleep.
در زمان در رو فتاد و می‌گریستکای خدا اینها نشان منکریست
At once he fell on his face and wept: "O God, these are signs of denial.
خلم بهتر از چنین حلم ای خداکه کند از نور ایمانم جدا
My phlegm is better than such forbearance, O God, which separates me from the light of faith."
گر بکاوی کوشش اهل مجازتو بتو گنده بود همچون پیاز
If you dig into the effort of the people of mere appearance, layer after layer it is rotten like an onion.
هر یکی از یکدگر بی مغزترصادقان را یک ز دیگر نغزتر
Each is more without kernel than the next; among the truthful, each is finer than the next.
صد کمر آن قوم بسته بر قبابهر هدم مسجد اهل قبا
That group had fastened a hundred belts over their robes to demolish the mosque of the people of Quba.
همچو آن اصحاب فیل اندر حبشکعبه‌ای کردند حق آتش زدش
Like those People of the Elephant in Abyssinia: they made a Kaaba, and God burned it.
قصد کعبه ساختند از انتقامحالشان چون شد فرو خوان از کلام
They set out against the Kaaba for revenge; read from the Scripture how their state became.
مر سیه‌رویان دین را خود جهازنیست الا حیلت و مکر و ستیز
The equipment of the black-faced in religion is nothing but trickery, deceit, and strife.
هر صحابی دید زان مسجد عیانواقعه تا شد یقینشان سر آن
Every Companion saw a manifest vision about that mosque, until its secret became certain to them.
واقعات ار باز گویم یک بیکپس یقین گردد صفا بر اهل شک
If I were to recount the visions one by one, purity would become certainty for the people of doubt.
لیک می‌ترسم ز کشف رازشاننازنینانند و زیبد نازشان
But I fear unveiling their secret; they are delicate beloved ones, and coquetry befits them.
شرع بی تقلید می‌پذرفته‌اندبی محک آن نقد را بگرفته‌اند
They accepted the Law without imitation; without a touchstone they accepted that coin.
حکمت قرآن چو ضالهٔمؤمنستهر کسی در ضالهٔ خود موقنست
The wisdom of the Qur'an is the believer's lost property; everyone is certain about his own lost thing.
