بخش ۱۵ - قطع اطناب اطناب و ختم بر دعای استجابت ماب / Section 15 - Cutting Short Prolixity and Concluding with an Answered Prayer

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

جامی اطناب در سخن نه سزاستقصه کوتاه کن که وقت دعاست
Jami, prolixity in speech is not fitting;
cut the story short, for it is time for prayer.
نه دعایی که شاعرانه بوداز ره صدق بر کرانه بود
Not a prayer that is merely poetic,
and distant from the path of sincerity.
خواهی آنها ز ایزد متعالکه بود در قیاس عقل محال
Do you ask from God the Exalted
things that are impossible in the judgment of reason?
یا بود ز آرزوی نفسانیمقتصر بر زخارف فانی
Or is it out of carnal desire,
confined to fleeting worldly ornaments?
بل دعای قرین صدق و صفامشتمل بر مصالح دو سرا
Rather, let it be a prayer coupled with sincerity and purity,
encompassing the welfare of both worlds:
هم در او جاه و حشمت دنیاهم در او عز و دولت عقبا
Both the rank and dignity of this world,
and the honor and fortune of the Hereafter.
سر نهی بر زمین عجز و نیازکای خدا کار او به لطف بساز
Lay your head on the ground of helplessness and need,
saying, O God, by Your grace, perfect his affairs!
عدل را در دلش چنان جا کنکه نراند برون ز عدل سخن
Establish justice in his heart in such a way,
that he utters no word outside of justice.
شرع را پیشوای حکمش دارحکم او را ز شرع ساز مدار
Make the religious law the leader of his rule;
make his rule revolve around the religious law.
هر چه باشد ز عدل و شرع برونمده او را بر آن قرار و سکون
Whatever falls outside of justice and the religious law,
grant him no rest or tranquility therein.
تا بود در جهان بقا امکانباقیش دار شاه و شاه نشان
As long as survival is possible in the world,
preserve him as king and the emblem of kingship.
دولتش را درین سرای امیدساز تخم سعادت جاوید
Make his dominion in this house of hope
the seed of eternal felicity.
مقبلی کش به خیر راهنماستو او خود اندر زمانه بی همتاست
The fortunate one who is a guide to goodness,
and who is himself peerless in the age;
در پناهش پناه عالم بادبالنبی و آله الامجاد
May the refuge of the world be under his protection,
By the Prophet and his glorious family.
