متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ای همه ساله هم به مایهٔ دیوبوده از بهر طبع دایهٔ دیو
O you who, all year round, with the substance of the demon,
Have been a nurse to the demon for the sake of your base nature.
ایزدت خواجهٔ خرد کردهپس تو خود را غلام دد کرده
God has made you a master of intellect,
Yet you have made yourself a slave to the beast.
آنکه زو عقل کل بود کالیوچه کند نقش نفس و مایهٔ دیو
He by whom the Universal Intellect is bewildered,
What can the image of the lower soul and the substance of the demon do to Him?
با دد و دیو عقل نامیزدکز دد و دیو عقل بگریزد
Intellect does not mingle with beast and demon,
For intellect flees from beast and demon.
شو بپرداز خانه از خایندر ببند و ز دزد باش ایمن
Go, empty the house of the traitor,
Close the door and be safe from the thief.
از در بسته دیو بگریزدعقل خود با بهیمه نامیزد
The demon flees from the closed door,
Intellect itself does not mingle with the brute.
نفس حسیت پنج در داردروح عقلی یکی گذر دارد
Your sensory soul has five doors,
The rational spirit has but one passage.
خانهٔ پنج در منافق راستخانهٔ یک دری موافق راست
A house with five doors belongs to the hypocrite,
A house with one door belongs to the sincere one.
پنج حس پنج روزه دام تواندعقل و جان تا ابد غلام تواند
The five senses are your snare for five days,
Intellect and soul are your servants for eternity.
