متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شبی آمد برش جبریل خرم	که هان آگاه باش ای صدر عالم
One night, joyous Gabriel came to him, Saying, 'Behold and be aware, O Foremost of the World!
ازین تاریکدان خیز و گذر کن	بدار الملک ربانی سفر کن
Arise and pass from this dark receptacle, Journey to the Divine Capital.
بسوی لامکان امشب قدم زن	بگیر آن حلقه را و بر حرم زن
Step tonight towards the placeless place, Take that ring and knock upon the Sanctuary.
جهانی بهرت امشب در خروشند	همه کروبیان حلقه به گوشند
A whole world is in tumult for you tonight, All the cherubim are your devoted servants.
ستاده انبیا و مرسلینند	که تا امشب جمالت را به بینند
The prophets and messengers are standing by, So that tonight they may behold your beauty.
بهشت و آسمان در برگشادست	بسی دلها ز دیدار تو شادست
Heaven and the skies have opened their doors, Many hearts are gladdened by the sight of you.
در امشب آنچه مقصودست ازو خواه	که خواهی دید بی شک امشب الله
Tonight, ask Him for whatever is your desire, For you shall undoubtedly see Allah tonight.
غم امت در امشب خور که دانی	حقیقت جمله اسرار نهانی
Grieve for your community tonight, for you shall know, In truth, all the hidden secrets.'
براقی بود چون برق آوریده	که حق ازنور پاکش آفریده
There was a Buraq brought like lightning, Which the Truth had created from His pure light.
سرا پایش ز نور حق بد آباد	ز تیزی خود سبق می بردی از باد
From head to toe, it was built of the Truth's light, In its swiftness, it outpaced the wind.
نبی بر وی سوار اندر زمان شد	مکان بگذاشت سوی لامکان شد
The Prophet mounted it immediately, He left space and headed towards the spaceless.
فتاده غلغلی در عرش اعظم	که آمد صدر و بدر هر دو عالم
A clamor arose in the Greatest Throne, That the Foremost and the Full Moon of both worlds had arrived.
ملایک با طبقهای نثارش	ستاده جمله از جان دوستدارش
Angels with trays of offerings for him, Stood all as his heartfelt lovers.
تمام انبیا را دیده در راه	مر او را کرده از اسرار آگاه
He saw all the prophets on the way, Who made him aware of the divine secrets.
نمود آدم ز اول کل جمالش	حقیقت خلعتی داد ازوصالش
Adam first showed all his beauty, Indeed, he gave him a robe of honor from his meeting.
دگر نوحش بکرد از کل خبردار	که تا شد از عیانش صاحب اسرار
Then Noah made him aware of the whole, Until from his sight he became the master of secrets.
ز ابرهیم دید او خلت کل	که تا بر وی عیان شد قربت کل
From Abraham he saw total friendship, So that the ultimate proximity became evident to him.
چو اسمعیل او را تربیت کرد	دگر اسحاقش از جان تقویت کرد
When Ishmael nurtured him, Then Isaac strengthened him from the soul.
دگر یعقوب کردش از غم آزاد	که تا شد ذات او از عشق آباد
Then Jacob freed him from sorrow, So that his being flourished through love.
دگر یوسف بصدقی راز گفتش	ز شوق دوست شرحی باز گفتش
Then Joseph told him a secret with sincerity, From the longing for the Beloved he recounted an explanation.
چو موسی بودش از انوارمشتاق	مر او را کرد اندر عشق کل طاق
When Moses was eager for him because of the lights, He made him peerless in total love.
دگر داود بس راز نهان گفت	سلیمانش بسی شرح و بیان گفت
Then David told him many hidden secrets, Solomon gave him many explanations and descriptions.
دگر عیسی چو دیدش ذات والا	مر او را کرد اندر فقر یکتا
Then Jesus, when he saw his exalted essence, Made him unique in spiritual poverty.
یکایک انبیا را دست جودش	یقین تشریف داد و ره نمودش
One by one, to the prophets, his hand of bounty, Truly gave honor and showed them the way.
چو گشت آگاه او از قربت دوست	گذر کرد او به سوی حضرت دوست
When he became aware of the proximity of the Friend, He passed on towards the Presence of the Friend.
چو سوی سدره بیرون تاخت احمد	ز ذات دوست سر افراخت احمد
When Ahmad rushed out towards the Lote Tree, From the essence of the Friend, Ahmad raised his head high.
رفیقش آنکه جبریل امین بود	که یک پر ز آسمانش تا زمین بود
His companion, who was the trustworthy Gabriel, Whose single wing stretched from heaven to earth,
در آنجا باز ماند و مصطفی شد	به سوی قرب ذات پادشا شد
Remained there, and Mustafa went on, He went towards the proximity of the King's essence.
سؤالی کرد از جبریل آن شاه	چرا ماندی قدم نه اندرین راه
That King asked Gabriel, 'Why did you stay? Step forward on this path.'
جوابش داد کای سلطان اسرار	اجازت بیش ازینم نیست رفتار
He answered him, 'O Sultan of secrets, I have no permission to travel further than this.
مجالم بیشتر زین نیست یک دم	ترا باید شدن ای شاه عالم
I have no capacity for a single moment beyond this, You must go on, O King of the world.
سر موئی اگر برتر بأعلی	پرم سوزد پرم نور تجلی
If I go a hair's breadth higher, The light of manifestation will burn my wings.
ترا باید شدن تا حضرت یار	ترا زیبد که داری قربت یار
You must go to the Presence of the Friend, It befits you, who have the proximity of the Friend.'
روان شد سید و او را رها کرد	دل خود را ز دون حق جدا کرد
The Master departed and left him behind, He detached his heart from all but the Truth.
بشد چندان که چون دید از فرود او	برش جبریل گنجشکی نمود او
He went so far that when he looked down, Gabriel appeared to him as a mere sparrow.
همی شد تا ازین نیز او گذر کرد	ورای پردهٔ غیبی نظر کرد
He kept going until he passed this too, And gazed beyond the veil of the unseen.
نه جا دید و جهت نه عقل و ادراک	نه عرش و فرش ونه هم کرهٔ خاک
He saw no place nor direction, no intellect nor perception, Neither the Throne nor the carpet of earth, nor the earthly sphere.
عیان لامکان بی جسم و جان دید	در آنجاخویشتن را او نهان دید
He saw the placeless clear, without body and soul, There he saw himself hidden.
زتن بگذشت و ز جان هم سفر کرد	چو بیخود شد ز خود در حق نظر کرد
He passed from the body and journeyed from the soul too, When he became selfless from himself, he gazed into the Truth.
چو در آغاز دید اعیان انحام	ندای کل شنید از یار پیغام
When in the beginning he saw the ultimate essences, He heard the total call, the message from the Friend.
ندا آمد ز ذات کل که فان آی	رها کن جسم و جان بی جسم و جان آی
A call came from the Essence of the Whole: 'Come, perishable one, Abandon body and soul, come without body and soul.
درآ ای مقصد و مقصود ما تو	نظر کن ذات ما را با لقا تو
Enter, O you who are our purpose and goal, Look upon our Essence in this meeting.'
دران دهشت زبانش رفت از کار	محمد از محمد گشت بیزار
In that awe, his tongue stopped working, Muhammad grew weary of Muhammad.
محمد خود ندید و جان جان دید	لقای خالق کون و مکان دید
Muhammad did not see himself, he saw the Soul of souls, He saw the meeting with the Creator of being and space.
نبود احمد خدا بود اندر آنجا	عیان عین لقا بود اندر آنجا
Ahmad was not there; God was there, The very essence of the meeting was manifest there.
خطابش کرد کای صدر دو عالم	تو چونی گفت بی چونم درین دم
He addressed him: 'O Foremost of both worlds, How are you?' He said, 'I am without how in this moment.
تو بی چونی من اینجا خود که باشم	چو تو هستی حقیقة من چه باشم
You are without how, who am I here? Since You truly are, what should I be?'
توئی و جز تو چیزی نیست اعیان	توئی عقل و توئی قلب و توئی جان
'It is You, and nothing else is evident but You, You are the intellect, You are the heart, and You are the soul.'
خطاب آمد که ای بود همه تو	امان جمله و سود همه تو
The address came: 'O you who are the existence of all, The safety of all and the benefit of all is you.
توئی مقصود ما در آفرینش	چه می خواهی بخواه ای عین بینش
You are our purpose in creation, Ask for whatever you want, O essence of insight.'
محمد گفت ای دانای بی چون	توئی سر درون و راز بیرون
Muhammad said, 'O Knower without how, You are the inner secret and the outer mystery.
تو می دانی حقیقت سر رازم	که بهر امت خود با نیازم
You know in truth my secret mystery, That I am in need for the sake of my community.
حقیقت امتی دارم گنه گار	ولی از فضل تو جمله خبردار
In truth I have a sinful community, But they are all aware of Your grace.
خبردارند از دریای فضلت	چه باشد گر کنی بر جمله رحمت
They are aware of the ocean of Your grace, What would it be if You bestow mercy upon all?'
خطاب آمد ز حضرت بار دیگر	که بخشیدم سراسر ای مطهر
The address came from the Presence once again, 'I have forgiven them completely, O pure one.
مخور غم از برای امت خویش	که هست از جرم ایشان فضل ما بیش
Do not grieve for your community, For Our grace is greater than their sins.
حقیقت رحمت ما بی شمارست	ز مخلوقات ما را با تو کارست
In truth Our mercy is countless, Of all creations, Our business is with you.
مرا با تست کار از کل آفاق	ترا بگزیدم و کردم ترا طاق
My business is with you from all horizons, I chose you and made you unique.
توئی یکتا میان آفرینش	توئی مر جمله را چون چشم بینش
You are unique among creation, You are like the eye of insight for all.'
پس آنگه سر کل با او بیان کرد	سه باره سی هزارش سر عیان کرد
Then He explained the secret of the whole to him, Three times thirty thousand secrets He revealed to him.
خطابش کرد کای محبوب بی چون	ازین سه سی هزاران در مکنون
He addressed him: 'O beloved without how, Of these three times thirty thousand hidden pearls,
بگو سی و مگو سی پیش یاران	دگر سی خواه گو خواه مگو آن
Tell thirty thousand and do not tell thirty thousand to friends, The other thirty thousand, tell if you wish, or do not tell.
بهر کو مصلحت دانی عیان کن	وگرنه در درون خود نهان کن
Reveal to whoever you see fit, Otherwise, hide it within yourself.'
چو رفت این بازگشت از لامکان او	به سوی عالم سفلی روان او
When this passed, he returned from the spaceless, His soul heading towards the lower world.
چو باز آمد ازان حضرة با شتاب	هنوزش گرم بود آن جامهٔ خواب
When he returned from that Presence in haste, His bedclothes were still warm.
