متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ای کشیده به کلک وهم و خیالحرف زاید به لوح دل همه سال
O you who have drawn with the pen of illusion and imagination,
Superfluous letters on the tablet of the heart all year round!
گشته در کارگاه بوقلمونتخته نقشهای گوناگون
Becoming in this chameleon-like workshop
A board for various designs.
چند باشد ز نقش های تباهلوح تو تیره تخته تو سیاه
How long from corrupted patterns
Will your tablet be dark and your board black?
حرف خوان صحیفه خود باشهر چه زاید بشوی یا بتراش
Be the reader of the letters of your own scripture;
Wash or scrape away whatever is superfluous.
دلت آیینه خدای نماستروی آیینه تو تیره چراست
Your heart is a God-reflecting mirror;
Why is the face of your mirror dark?
صیقلی وار صیقلی می زنباشد آیینه ات شود روشن
Polish it like a polisher;
Perhaps your mirror will become bright.
هر چه فانی ازو زدوده شودوانچه باقی در او نموده شود
Whatever is mortal will be wiped away from it,
And whatever is eternal will be shown in it.
صیقل آن اگر نه ای آگاهنیست جز لااله الاالله
If you are unaware of its polish,
It is nothing but 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah).
لا نهنگیست کاینات آشامعرش تا فرش در کشیده به کام
'La' (No) is a universe-devouring whale;
It has drawn from the divine throne to the earth into its mouth.
هر کجا کرده آن نهنگ آهنگاز من و ما نه بوی مانده نه رنگ
Wherever that whale has made its way,
Neither scent nor color of 'I' and 'We' has remained.
هست پرگار کارگاه قدمگرد اعیان کشیده خط عدم
It is the compass of the workshop of eternity,
Drawing the line of non-existence around the entities.
نقطه ای زین دوایر پر کارنیست بیرون ز دور این پرگار
No point in these busy circles
Is outside the turn of this compass.
چه مرکب درین فضا چه بسیطهست حکم فنا به جمله محیط
Whether compound in this space or simple,
The decree of annihilation encompasses all.
بلکه مقراض قهرمان حق استقاطع وصل کل ما خلق است
Rather, it is the scissors of the champion of Truth,
Cutting the connection of all creation.
هر چه سر می زند ز جیب بقامی برد بر قدش قبای فنا
Whatever pokes its head out of the collar of survival,
It sews the garment of annihilation onto its stature.
هندوی نفس راست غل دو شاختنگ کرده بر او جهان فراخ
The Hindu of the self has a two-pronged yoke,
Narrowing the wide world upon it.
کش کشانش دو شاخه بر گردنمی برد تا به خدمت ذوالمن
Dragging it by the two prongs on its neck,
It takes it to the service of the Lord of Grace.
دو نهال است رسته از یک بیخمیوه شان نفس و طبع را توبیخ
Two saplings have grown from one root;
Their fruit is a reprimand to the self and nature.
باشد این میوه تلخ اول کاروآخر آرد حلاوت بسیار
This fruit may be bitter at the beginning,
But in the end, it brings much sweetness.
کرسی لا مثلثیست صغیراندر او مضمحل جهان کبیر
The throne of 'La' is a small triangle;
In it, the great world vanishes.
هر که روی از وجود محدث تافتره به کنجی ازان مثلث یافت
Whoever turned his face from contingent existence,
Found a way to a corner of that triangle.
عقل داند ز تنگی هر کنجکه در او نیست ما و من را گنج
Reason knows from the narrowness of every corner,
That there is no room in it for 'We' and 'I'.
بوحنیفه که در معنی سفتنوعی از باده را مثلث گفت
Abu Hanifa, who pierced the pearl of meaning,
Called a type of wine 'Muthallath' (Triangle).
هست بر رای او به شرع هدیآن مثلث مباح و پاک ولی
According to his view in the religion of guidance,
That 'Muthallath' is permissible and pure, but...
این مثلث به کیش اهل فلاحواجب و مفترض بود نه مباح
This triangle in the religion of the people of salvation,
Is obligatory and required, not merely permissible.
زان مثلث کسی که زد جامیشد ز مستی زبون هر خامی
From that triangle, whoever drank a cup,
Became from intoxication oblivious to every raw one.
زین مثلث کسی که یک جرعهخورد بختش به نام زد قرعه
From this triangle, whoever drank a single sip,
His fortune drew the lottery in his name.
جرعه راحتش به جام افتادقرعه دولتش به نام افتاد
The sip of comfort fell into his cup,
The lottery of state fell to his name.
چون تو از تنگنای رخنه لاجستی افتاد کار با الا
When you escape from the narrow breach of 'La',
The affair falls to 'Illa' (Except).
گرچه لا داشت تیرگی عدمدارد الا فروغ نور قدم
Although 'La' had the darkness of non-existence,
'Illa' has the radiance of the light of eternity.
گرچه لا بود کان کفر جحودهست الا کلید گنج شهود
Although 'La' was the mine of the disbelief of denial,
'Illa' is the key to the treasure of witnessing.
چون کند لا بساط کثرت طیدهد الا ز جام وحدت می
When 'La' rolls up the carpet of multiplicity,
'Illa' gives wine from the cup of unity.
آن رهاند ز نقش بیش و کمتوین رساند به وحدت قدمت
That one frees you from the pattern of more and less,
And this one delivers you to the unity of your eternity.
تا نسازی حجاب کثرت دورندهد آفتاب وحدت نور
Until you make the veil of multiplicity far away,
The sun of unity will not give light.
دایم آن آفتاب تابان استاز حجاب تو از تو پنهان است
That sun is always shining;
It is hidden from you because of your veil.
گر برون آیی از حجاب دوییمرتفع گردد از میانه دویی
If you come out of the veil of duality,
Duality will be removed from the middle.
در زمین و زمان و کون و مکانهمه او بینی آشکار و نهان
In earth and time and universe and space,
You will see Him entirely, manifest and hidden.
هست ازان برتر آفتاب ازلکه در او افتد از حجاب خلل
The sun of eternity is higher than that,
For any flaw to fall upon it from a veil.
تو حجابی ولی حجاب خودیپرده نور آفتاب خودی
You are the veil, but the veil of yourself;
You are the curtain over the light of your own sun.
گر زمانی ز خود خلاص شویمهبط فیض نور خاص شوی
If for a moment you become free from yourself,
You will become the landing place of the grace of special light.
جذب آن فیض یابد استیلاهم ز «لا» وارهی هم از «الا»
The attraction of that grace will gain mastery;
You will be freed both from 'La' and from 'Illa'.
نفی و اثبات بار بربندندخاطرت زیر بار نپسندند
Negation and affirmation will pack their bags;
Your mind will not accept being under a burden.
گام بیرون نهی ز دام غروربهره ور گردی از دوام حضور
You will step out of the trap of pride;
You will become a beneficiary of the permanence of presence.
هم به وقت شنیدن و گفتنهم به هنگام خوردن و خفتن
Both at the time of listening and speaking,
And at the time of eating and sleeping.
از همه غایب و به حق حاضرچشم و جانت بود به حق ناظر
Absent from everyone and present to Truth;
Your eye and soul will be looking at Truth.
سکر و هشیاریت یکی گرددخواب و بیداریت یکی گردد
Your intoxication and sobriety will become one;
Your sleep and wakefulness will become one.
دیده ظاهر تو بر دگراندیده باطنت به حق نگران
Your outward eye on others,
Your inward eye looking to Truth.
