متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

عزمت از حضرت نبی و علیستدر لحاف خلاف خفتن چیست
Your resolve is from the Prophet and Ali,
What is this sleeping in the quilt of opposition?
کودکان راست فرش و بستر خوابمرد را ذوالفقار همچون آب
For children, the carpet and the bed of sleep are fitting,
For a man, Zulfiqar is like water.
وقت نامد که از ره آزرمدارد از مهل دوست جهل تو شرم
Has the time not come that, out of modesty,
Your ignorance feels ashamed of the Friend's respite?
مهر برکن ز ملک و ملک جهانزاد راه از جلال حق بستان
Uproot your affection from property and the kingdom of the world,
Take the provisions for the journey from the majesty of Truth.
زاد راه تو دان که تجریدستزانکه تجرید جفت توحیدست
Know that the provision for your journey is detachment,
Because detachment is the companion of monotheism.
تو به توحید کی رسی چو مریدنازده گام در ره تجرید
When will you reach monotheism as a disciple,
Having not taken a step on the path of detachment?
شو تبرا ده آفرینش راتا ببینی عروس بینش را
Go, disavow the creation,
So that you may see the bride of insight.
تو چه دانی عروس بینش کیستسر صانع در آفرینش چیست
What do you know of who the bride of insight is?
What is the Creator's secret in creation?
آتشی بر فروز عاشق وارخانه را در بسوز و دود برآر
Kindle a fire like a lover,
Burn down the house and raise the smoke.
تا ز دود تو سود چرخ کبودترزبان زردروی گردد زود
So that from your smoke, the azure wheel's profit,
The eloquent one with a yellow face will quickly become.
چار تکبیر کن چو خیرالناسبر که بر چار طبع و پنج حواس
Say four Takbirs like the best of mankind,
Over what? Over the four natures and five senses.
شاخ دندانهٔ محال بزنبیخ بتخانهٔ خیال بکن
Strike the jagged branch of the impossible,
Uproot the foundation of the idol-temple of imagination.
در ره حق بلای هستی روبهرچه جز هستی خدای بروب
On the path of Truth, sweep away the affliction of existence,
Sweep away everything except the existence of God.
در جهانی که طبع بر کارستدیو لاحول گوی بسیارست
In a world where nature is at work,
There are many demons saying 'La Hawl' (there is no power).
چون ز لاحول تو نترسد دیونیست مسموع لابه نزد خدیو
Since the demon does not fear your 'La Hawl',
Supplication is not heard by the Lord.
دیو دین را ز اعتماد به قولمنهزم کن به سیلی لاحول
The demon of religion, from reliance on mere words,
Defeat him with the slap of 'La Hawl'.
دیو دین آنگهی ز تو برمدکه ز تو گند معصیت ندمد
The demon of religion will flee from you only then,
When the stench of sin does not emanate from you.
لیک هستی تو در همه کردارگنده و بی طهاره چون مردار
But you are, in all your deeds,
Foul and without purity like a corpse.
یک جهانند زیر این افلاککام پر زهر و خانه پر تریاک
There is a whole world beneath these spheres,
Palates full of poison and houses full of antidote.
چون زمین پر بزه شود فلکندچون جهان بی مزه شود نمکند
When the earth becomes full of sin, they are the sky,
When the world becomes tasteless, they are the salt.
این همه داعیان اللٰه اندباز آنها که داعی جاه اند
All these are callers to Allah,
Yet those who are callers to worldly position,
نه نمک بلکه شورهٔ خاکندزان همه بی برند و بی باکند
Are not salt but the salinity of the soil,
Therefore they are all fruitless and fearless.
همه از آب این دو روزه نهادتازه و تر چو رودهٔ پر باد
All from the water of this two-day constitution,
Fresh and moist like an inflated intestine.
همه چون نطق گنگ و بی معنیهمه چون بانگ نای پر دعوی
All like a mute's speech and meaningless,
All like the sound of a reed pipe full of claims.
سوی جان همچو نیش زنبورندسوی دل همچو عطسهٔ مورند
Towards the soul they are like a bee's sting,
Towards the heart they are like an ant's sneeze.
زان همه دست و پای آشوبندکه سر و سینهٔ خرد کوبند
For that reason, they are all hand and foot of turmoil,
Pounding the head and chest of wisdom.
بهر نانی هزار بانگ کنندتا دو تسو مگر دو دانگ کنند
For a loaf of bread, they make a thousand cries,
So that perhaps they make two Tasus into two Dangs.
