متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت پیغامبر مر آن بیمار رااین بگو کای سهل‌کن دشوار را
The Prophet said to that sick man: "Say this: O You who make the difficult easy,
آتنا فی دار دنیانا حسنآتنا فی دار عقبانا حسن
give us good in the dwelling of our world; give us good in the dwelling of our hereafter.
راه را بر ما چو بستان کن لطیفمنزل ما خود تو باشی ای شریف
Make the road for us gentle as a garden; You Yourself be our station, O noble One.
مؤمنان در حشر گویند ای ملکنی که دوزخ بود راه مشترک
The believers at the resurrection will say, 'O angel, was Hell not the common road?
مؤمن و کافر برو یابد گذارما ندیدیم اندرین ره دود و نار
Believer and unbeliever alike passed over it; we saw no smoke or fire on this road.
نک بهشت و بارگاه آمنیپس کجا بود آن گذرگاه دنی
Here are Paradise and the court of security; where, then, was that base passageway?'
پس ملک گوید که آن روضهٔ خضرکه فلان جا دیده‌اید اندر گذر
Then the angel will say, 'That green meadow which you saw at such-and-such a place on the way
دوزخ آن بود و سیاستگاه سختبر شما شد باغ و بستان و درخت
was Hell and the harsh place of punishment; for you it became garden, orchard, and trees.
چون شما این نفس دوزخ‌خوی راآتشی گبر فتنه‌جوی را
Because you strove against this Hell-natured self, this fire of unbelief and mischief,
جهدها کردید و او شد پر صفانار را کشتید از بهر خدا
and it became pure; you quenched the fire for God's sake.
آتش شهوت که شعله می‌زدیسبزهٔ تقوی شد و نور هدی
The fire of lust that blazed became the verdure of piety and the light of guidance.
آتش خشم از شما هم حلم شدظلمت جهل از شما هم علم شد
The fire of anger in you became forbearance; the darkness of ignorance in you became knowledge.
آتش حرص از شما ایثار شدو آن حسد چون خار بد گلزار شد
The fire of greed in you became self-giving, and envy, which was a thorn, became a rose-garden.
چون شما این جمله آتشهای خویشبهر حق کشتید جمله پیش پیش
Since you first quenched all these fires of your own for the sake of the Real,
نفس ناری را چو باغی ساختیداندرو تخم وفا انداختید
you made the fiery self into a garden and sowed in it the seed of fidelity.
بلبلان ذکر و تسبیح اندروخوش سرایان در چمن بر طرف جو
Within it, nightingales of remembrance and glorification sing sweetly in the meadow beside the stream.
داعی حق را اجابت کرده‌ایددر جحیم نفس آب آورده‌اید
You answered the caller of the Real; you brought water into the Hell of the self.
دوزخ ما نیز در حق شماسبزه گشت و گلشن و برگ و نوا
Our Hell too, with respect to you, became verdure, rose-garden, leaves, and song.
چیست احسان را مکافات ای پسرلطف و احسان و ثواب معتبر
What is the recompense of beneficence, my son? Grace, beneficence, and worthy reward.
نی شما گفتید ما قربانییمپیش اوصاف بقا ما فانییم
Did you not say, We are sacrifices; before the attributes of abiding, we are passing away?
ما اگر قلاش و گر دیوانه‌ایممست آن ساقی و آن پیمانه‌ایم
Whether we are rogues or mad, we are drunk on that cupbearer and that cup.
بر خط و فرمان او سر می‌نهیمجان شیرین را گروگان می‌دهیم
We lay our heads on his written order and command; we give our sweet life as pledge.
تا خیال دوست در اسرار ماستچاکری و جانسپاری کار ماست
As long as the beloved's image is in our inmost secrets, service and surrendering life are our work.
هر کجا شمع بلا افروختندصد هزاران جان عاشق سوختند
Wherever they kindle the candle of trial, hundreds of thousands of lovers' lives are burned.
عاشقانی کز درون خانه‌اندشمع روی یار را پروانه‌اند
The lovers who are within the house are moths to the candle of the Friend's face.
ای دل آنجا رو که با تو روشنندوز بلاها مر ترا چون جوشنند
O heart, go where they are bright with you and are like armor for you against trials.
بر جنایاتت مواسا می‌کننددر میان جان ترا جا می‌کنند
They make allowance for your offenses; they give you a place in the midst of their soul.
زان میان جان ترا جا می‌کنندتا ترا پر باده چون جا می‌کنند
They give you a place in the midst of their soul so that, like a cup, they fill you with wine.
در میان جان ایشان خانه گیردر فلک خانه کن ای بدر منیر
Take up a home in the midst of their souls; make your home in the heavens, O radiant full moon.
چون عطارد دفتر دل وا کنندتا که بر تو سرها پیدا کنند
Like Mercury, they open the book of the heart so that secrets may become clear to you.
پیش خویشان باش چون آواره‌ایبر مه کامل زن ار مه پاره‌ای
Be among your own kin, even if you are a wanderer; if you are a moon-fragment, strike toward the full moon.
جزو را از کل خود پرهیز چیستبا مخالف این همه آمیز چیست
Why should the part avoid its own whole? Why so much mixing with the opposite?
جنس را بین نوع گشته در روشغیبها بین عین گشته در رهش
See genus become species on the path; see hidden things become manifest on its way.
تا چو زن عشوه خری ای بی‌خرداز دروغ و عشوه کی یابی مدد
How long will you buy coquettish allure, witless one? When will lies and coquetry help you?
چاپلوس و لفظ شیرین و فریبمی‌ستانی می‌نهی چون زن به جیب
Flattery, sweet words, and deceit: you take them and put them in your pocket like a woman.
مر ترا دشنام و سیلی شهانبهتر آید از ثنای گمرهان
For you, the abuse and slaps of kings are better than the praise of the misguided.
صفع شاهان خور مخور شهد خسانتا کسی گردی ز اقبال کسان
Receive the slaps of kings; do not eat the honey of the base, so that by the fortune of worthy people you may become someone.
زانک ازیشان خلعت و دولت رسددر پناه روح جان گردد جسد
For from them come robe of honor and fortune; in the shelter of spirit, the body becomes soul.
هر کجا بینی برهنه و بی‌نوادان که او بگریختست از اوستا
Wherever you see someone naked and destitute, know that he has fled from the master,
تا چنان گردد که می‌خواهد دلشآن دل کور بد بی‌حاصلش
so that he may become as his heart desires, that blind, bad, fruitless heart.
گر چنان گشتی که استا خواستیخویش را و خویش را آراستی
Had he become as the master wished, he would have adorned himself and his own self.
هر که از استا گریزد در جهاناو ز دولت می‌گریزد این بدان
Whoever flees from the master in this world flees from fortune; know this.
پیشه‌ای آموختی در کسب تنچنگ اندر پیشهٔ دینی بزن
You have learned a craft for earning the body's livelihood; take hold of a craft of religion.
در جهان پوشیده گشتی و غنیچون برون آیی ازینجا چون کنی
You became clothed and wealthy in this world; when you come out from here, what will you do?
پیشه‌ای آموز کاندر آخرتاندر آید دخل کسب مغفرت
Learn a craft that in the hereafter will bring in the income of the earning of forgiveness.
آن جهان شهریست پر بازار و کسبتا نپنداری که کسب اینجاست حسب
That world is a city full of market and trade; do not suppose that trade is only here.
حق تعالی گفت کین کسب جهانپیش آن کسبست لعب کودکان
God Most High said that the trade of this world, compared with that trade, is children's play,
همچو آن طفلی که بر طفلی تندشکل صحبت‌کن مساسی می‌کند
like a child who runs at another child and makes a play-form of intercourse and touching.
کودکان سازند در بازی دکانسود نبود جز که تعبیر زمان
Children make shops in play; there is no profit except the spending of time.
شب شود در خانه آید گرسنهکودکان رفته بمانده یک تنه
Night comes; he comes home hungry; the children have gone and he remains alone.
این جهان بازی‌گهست و مرگ شبباز گردی کیسه خالی پر تعب
This world is a playground and death is night; you return with an empty purse, full of fatigue.
کسب دین عشقست و جذب اندرونقابلیت نور حق را ای حرون
The trade of religion is love and inward attraction: receptivity to the light of God, O obstinate one.
کسب فانی خواهدت این نفس خسچند کسب خس کنی بگذار بس
This base self wants for you perishable gain; how long will you earn baseness? Leave it; enough.
نفس خس گر جویدت کسب شریفحیله و مکری بود آن را ردیف
If the base self seeks noble trade for you, deception and trickery will be alongside it."
