متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

در آلا فکر کردن شرط راه استولی در ذات حق محض گناه است
Thinking upon the blessings is a condition of the path,
But upon the Essence of Truth, it is sheer sin.
بود در ذات حق اندیشه باطلمحال محض دان تحصیل حاصل
Thought regarding the Essence of Truth is vain,
Consider it a sheer impossibility, obtaining what is obtained.
چو آیات است روشن گشته از ذاتنگردد ذات او روشن ز آیات
Since the signs are illuminated by the Essence,
His Essence does not become illuminated by the signs.
همه عالم به نور اوست پیداکجا او گردد از عالم هویدا؟
The whole universe is manifest through His light,
How could He become apparent from the universe?
نگنجد نور ذات اندر مظاهرکه سبحات جلالش هست قاهر
The light of the Essence does not fit within manifestations,
For the splendors of His majesty are overwhelming.
رها کن عقل را، با حق همی باشکه تاب خور ندارد چشم خفاش
Let go of intellect, and be with the Truth,
For the bat's eye cannot bear the light of the sun.
در آن موضع که نور حق دلیل استچه جای گفتگوی جبرئیل است
In that place where the light of Truth is the guide,
What room is there for Gabriel's speech?
فرشته گرچه دارد قرب درگاهنگنجد در مقام «لی مع الله»
Though the angel has proximity to the court,
It cannot fit in the station of 'I am with God'.
چو نور او ملک را پر بسوزدخرد را جمله پا و سر بسوزد
When His light burns the wings of the angel,
It completely burns the head and feet of the intellect.
بود نور خرد در ذات انوربسان چشم سر در چشمهٔ خور
The light of the intellect within the most luminous Essence,
Is like the physical eye in the fountain of the sun.
چو مبصر در نظر نزدیک گرددبصر ز ادراک او تاریک گردد
When the object of sight comes close in view,
The sight becomes dark from perceiving it.
سیاهی گر بدانی نور ذات استبه تاریکی درون، آب حیات است
Blackness, if you know, is the light of the Essence,
Within the darkness is the Water of Life.
سیه جز قابض نور بصر نیستنظر بگذار کاین جای نظر نیست
Blackness is naught but the seizer of the light of sight,
Abandon looking, for this is not the place for looking.
چه نسبت خاک را با عالم پاککه ادراک است عجز از درک ادراک
What relation does dust have with the pure realm?
For perception is the inability to perceive perception.
سیه روئی ز ممکن در دو عالمجدا هرگز نشد والله اعلم
The black-facedness of the contingent being in both worlds,
Was never separated, and God knows best.
سواد الوجه فی الدارین درویشسواد اعظم آمد بی کم و بیش
The blackness of the face in both worlds for the dervish,
Has become the greatest mass, without more or less.
چه می گویم که هست این نکته باریکشب روشن میان روز تاریک
What am I saying? For this point is subtle,
A bright night in the midst of a dark day.
در ین مشهد که انوار تجلی استسخن دارم ولی نا گفتن اولی است
In this place of witnessing where the lights of manifestation are,
I have words, but it is better not to say them.
