متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت پیغامبر مر آن بیمار راچون عیادت کرد یار زار را
The Prophet said to that sick man,
When he visited his suffering friend,
که مگر نوعی دعایی کرده ایاز جهالت زهربایی خورده ای
"Perhaps you have prayed some kind of prayer,
Out of ignorance, you have eaten some poison.
یاد آور چه دعا می گفته ایچون ز مکر نفس می آشفته ای
Remember what prayer you were saying,
When you were agitated by the deceit of the ego (nafs)."
گفت یادم نیست الا همتیدار با من یادم آید ساعتی
He said, "I do not remember, except that through your spiritual resolve
With me, I might remember it in a moment."
از حضور نوربخش مصطفیپیش خاطر آمد او را آن دعا
Through the light-bestowing presence of Mustafa,
That prayer came back to his mind.
تافت زان روزن که از دل تا دلستروشنی که فرق حق و باطلست
There shone from that window, which is from heart to heart,
The light that distinguishes truth from falsehood.
گفت اینک یادم آمد ای رسولآن دعا که گفته ام من بوالفضول
He said, "Now I remember, O Messenger,
That prayer which I, the meddler, said.
چون گرفتار گنه می آمدمغرقه دست اندر حشایش می زدم
When I would become a captive to sin,
Like a drowning man, I grasped at weeds.
از تو تهدید و وعیدی می رسیدمجرمان را از عذاب بس شدید
From you, threats and warnings would arrive,
To the sinners, of very severe punishment.
مضطرب می گشتم و چاره نبودبند محکم بود و قفل ناگشود
I would become distressed, and there was no remedy;
The bond was firm and the lock unopened.
نی مقام صبر و نی راه گریزنی امید توبه نی جای ستیز
Neither a place for patience, nor a way of escape,
Neither hope of repentance, nor a place for struggle.
من چو هاروت و چو ماروت از حزنآه می کردم که ای خلاق من
I, like Harut and Marut, out of sorrow,
Would sigh, saying: 'O my Creator!
از خطر هاروت و ماروت آشکارچاه بابل را بکردند اختیار
Out of clear danger, Harut and Marut
Chose the pit of Babylon,
تا عذاب آخرت اینجا کشندگربزند و عاقل و ساحروشند
So that they might suffer the punishment of the hereafter here,
Though they are exalted, wise, and like magicians.
نیک کردند و بجای خویش بودسهل تر باشد ز آتش رنج دود
They did well, and it was the right place;
The pain of smoke is easier than the fire.
حد ندارد وصف رنج آن جهانسهل باشد رنج دنیا پیش آن
The description of the pain of that world has no limit;
The pain of the world is easy compared to that.
ای خنک آن کو جهادی می کندبر بدن زجری و دادی می کند
O happy is he who makes a struggle,
Inflicting pain and justice upon his body,
تا ز رنج آن جهانی وا رهدبر خود این رنج عبادت می نهد
So that he may escape the pain of that world;
He takes upon himself this pain of worship.'
من همی گفتم که یا رب آن عذابهم درین عالم بران بر من شتاب
I kept saying: 'O Lord, that punishment,
In this very world, hasten it upon me,
تا در آن عالم فراغت باشدمدر چنین درخواست حلقه می زدم
So that I may have leisure in that world.'
In such a request, I was knocking at the door.
این چنین رنجوریی پیدام شدجان من از رنج بی آرام شد
Such a sickness appeared in me,
My soul became restless from the pain.
مانده ام از ذکر و از اوراد خودبی خبر گشتم ز خویش و نیک و بد
I have been held back from my litanies (dhikr) and prayers;
I became unaware of myself, and of good and bad.
گر نمی دیدم کنون من روی توای خجسته وی مبارک بوی تو
If I had not seen your face now,
O auspicious one, and your blessed scent,
می شدم از بند من یکبارگیکردیم شاهانه این غمخوارگی
I would have slipped entirely from my bond;
You showed me this kingly sympathy."
گفت هی هی این دعا دیگر مکنبر مکن تو خویش را از بیخ و بن
He (the Prophet) said, "Hey, hey! Do not make this prayer anymore;
Do not tear yourself up from the root and foundation.
تو چه طاقت داری ای مور نژندکه نهد بر تو چنان کوه بلند
What strength do you have, O wretched ant,
That such a high mountain should be placed upon you?"
گفت توبه کردم ای سلطان که مناز سر جلدی نلافم هیچ فن
He said, "I have repented, O King, so that I
May not boast of any skill out of rashness.
این جهان تیه ست و تو موسی و مااز گنه در تیه مانده مبتلا
This world is a wilderness (Tih), and you are Moses, and we
Are left afflicted in the wilderness by our sin.
قوم موسی راه می پیموده اندآخر اندر گام اول بوده اند
The people of Moses were traveling the road;
In the end, they were (still) at the first step.
سالها ره می رویم و در اخیرهمچنان در منزل اول اسیر
For years we travel the road, and at the end,
We are still captive at the first stage.
گر دل موسی ز ما راضی بدیتیه را راه و کران پیدا شدی
If the heart of Moses had been pleased with us,
The way and edge of the wilderness would have become visible.
ور بکل بیزار بودی او ز ماکی رسیدی خوانمان هیچ از سما
And if he had been entirely disgusted with us,
How would any table of food have reached us from heaven?
کی ز سنگی چشمه ها جوشان شدیدر بیابان مان امان جان شدی
How would springs have gushed from a rock,
Becoming the security of our lives in the desert?
بل به جای خوان خود آتش آمدیاندرین منزل لهب بر ما زدی
Nay, instead of a table of food, fire would have come;
In this stage, flames would have struck us.
چون دو دل شد موسی اندر کار ماگاه خصم ماست و گاهی یار ما
Since Moses became of two minds in our matter,
Sometimes he is our enemy and sometimes our friend.
خشمش آتش می زند در رخت ماحلم او رد می کند تیر بلا
His anger sets fire to our belongings;
His forbearance repels the arrow of affliction.
کی بود که حلم گردد خشم نیزنیست این نادر ز لطفت ای عزیز
When will it be that the anger also becomes forbearance?
This is not rare from Your grace, O Dear One.
مدح حاضر وحشتست از بهر ایننام موسی می برم قاصد چنین
Praising one present is an offense, because of this,
I intentionally mention the name of Moses in this way.
ورنه موسی کی روا دارد که منپیش تو یاد آورم از هیچ تن
Otherwise, how would Moses allow that I
Should mention anyone before you?
عهد ما بشکست صد بار و هزارعهد تو چون کوه ثابت بر قرار
Our covenant broke a hundred and a thousand times;
Your covenant is established, firm like a mountain.
عهد ما کاه و به هر بادی زبونعهد تو کوه و ز صد که هم فزون
Our covenant is like straw, subject to every wind;
Your covenant is a mountain, and greater than a hundred mountains.
حق آن قوت که بر تلوین مارحمتی کن ای امیر لونها
By the right of that strength, upon our changeability,
Have mercy, O Commander of states!
خویش را دیدیم و رسوایی خویشامتحان ما مکن ای شاه بیش
We have seen ourselves and our own disgrace;
Do not test us anymore, O King!
تا فضیحتهای دیگر را نهانکرده باشی ای کریم مستعان
So that You may have hidden the other shames,
O Generous One, Whose help is sought!
بی حدی تو در جمال و در کمالدر کژی ما بی حدیم و در ضلال
You are boundless in beauty and in perfection;
In crookedness and error, we are boundless.
بی حدی خویش بگمار ای کریمبر کژی بی حد مشتی لئیم
Apply Your boundlessness, O Generous One,
Upon the boundless crookedness of a handful of base ones.
هین که از تقطیع ما یک تار ماندمصر بودیم و یکی دیوار ماند
Beware, for from our severance only one thread remains;
We were a city, and only a wall remains.
البقیه البقیه ای خدیوتا نگردد شاد کلی جان دیو
Have mercy on the remnant! The remnant, O Lord!
So that the soul of the devil may not become entirely glad.
بهر ما نی بهر آن لطف نخستکه تو کردی گمرهان را باز جست
Not for our sake, (but) for the sake of that first grace,
By which You sought out the astray.
چون نمودی قدرتت بنمای رحمای نهاده رحمها در لحم و شحم
Since You have shown Your power, show mercy,
O You Who have placed mercies in flesh and fat!
این دعا گر خشم افزاید تو راتو دعا تعلیم فرما مهترا
If this prayer increases Your anger,
You teach us a prayer, O Chief!
آنچنان کآدم بیفتاد از بهشترجعتش دادی که رست از دیو زشت
Just as Adam fell from Paradise,
You gave him a return so that he escaped the ugly devil.
دیو کی بود کو ز آدم بگذردبر چنین نطعی ازو بازی برد
Who was the devil that he should surpass Adam,
And win the game from him on such a chessboard?
در حقیقت نفع آدم شد همهلعنت حاسد شده آن دمدمه
In truth, it all became Adam's benefit;
That trickery became the curse of the envier.
بازیی دید و دو صد بازی ندیدپس ستون خانهٔ خود را برید
He saw one game and did not see two hundred games;
So he cut the pillar of his own house.
آتشی زد شب بکشت دیگرانباد آتش را بکشت او بران
He set a fire at night in the crops of others;
The wind blew the fire onto his own crop.
چشم بندی بود لعنت دیو راتا زیان خصم دید آن ریو را
The curse was a blindfold to the devil,
So that he saw that deceit as the loss of the enemy.
خود زیان جان او شد ریو اوگویی آدم بود دیو دیو او
His deceit actually became the loss of his own soul;
As if Adam were the devil of his devil.
لعنت این باشد که کژبینش کندحاسد و خودبین و پر کینش کند
The curse is this: that it makes him see crookedly,
It makes him envious, self-conceited, and full of rancor.
تا نداند که هر آنک کرد بدعاقبت باز آید و بر وی زند
So that he does not know that whoever did evil,
In the end it will come back and strike him.
جمله فرزین بندها بیند بعکسمات بر وی گردد و نقصان و وکس
He sees all the queen's moves (in chess) in reverse;
Checkmate turns upon him, and loss and diminution.
زانک گر او هیچ بیند خویش رامهلک و ناسور بیند ریش را
Because if he were to see himself at all,
He would see the wound as fatal and incurable.
درد خیزد زین چنین دیدن دروندرد او را از حجاب آرد برون
Pain would arise within from such seeing;
Pain would bring him out from the veil.
تا نگیرد مادران را درد زهطفل در زادن نیابد هیچ ره
Until the pains of childbirth grip the mothers,
The child finds no way to be born.
این امانت در دل و دل حامله ستاین نصیحتها مثال قابله ست
This trust is in the heart, and the heart is pregnant;
These advices are like the midwife.
قابله گوید که زن را درد نیستدرد باید درد کودک را رهیست
