چون از این طایفه گذر کردیبه دگر طایفه نظر کردی
When you have passed from this group
And cast your gaze upon another group
عالم عدل بینی و انصافهمه معنی محض و دور از لاف
You will see the world of justice and fairness
All pure meaning and far from boasting
پیشوای امم مرفه جمعنور اقضی القضاة تابان شمع
The leader of nations, a prosperous gathering
The light of the Chief Justice, a shining candle
مفتی اصل و فرع و وارث جودشمع شرع محمدی محمود
The Mufti of roots and branches, and heir to generosity
The candle of the Muhammadan religious law, Mahmud
آنکه در صدر شرع تا بنشستپای فتنه دو دست ظلم ببست
He who, since taking a seat at the head of the religious law,
Bound the foot of sedition and the two hands of oppression
گشته در راه دین ز بهر ثباتخاک درگاه او چو آب حیات
For the sake of stability in the path of religion
The dust of his threshold has become like the water of life
از غبار غرور عالم خاکدامن و جیب او چو ایمان پاک
From the dust of the world's pride, his skirt
And his pocket are as pure as faith
قفل احکام را ستوده کلیدپره و حلقه بی عمود که دید
The praised key to the lock of judgments
Who has seen a hub and ring without a pillar?
چون ستونی که هست بی افسونخیمهٔ شرع را طناب و ستون
Like a pillar that exists without enchantment
The rope and pillar for the tent of the religious law
دیده بی زحمت خیال و غرورعلم نزدیک او به عالم دور
Having seen without the trouble of imagination and pride
The knowledge near to him is far to the world
از فرازش نبرده سوی نشیبمگر این گنده پیر غرچه فریب
He has not been brought from his height to a decline
Except by this foul old crone, the deceiver of fools [the world]
دل او سال و ماه مسکن شرعگوش او شاهراه مکمن شرع
His heart is the dwelling place of the religious law for months and years
His ear is the highway to the hiding place of the religious law
دین ایزد ز بود او شادانخانهٔ شرع ازوست آبادان
The religion of God is joyous from his existence
The house of the religious law is flourishing through him
دل پاکش چو قبلهٔ ایمانعزم و حزمش همه دلیل و بیان
His pure heart is like the qibla of faith
His determination and prudence are all evidence and explanation
روز حکمش بری ز جبر و قدرمیل بر وی ندیده هیچ ظفر
On the day of his judgment, free from compulsion and predestination
Inclination [bias] has not seen any victory over him
میل هرگز نکرده در احکامکرده در دین به شرط خویش قیام
He has never shown inclination in his judgments
He has stood up in religion according to his own condition
ظاهر و باطنش ز رشوت پاکمیل در طبع او نه در افلاک
His outward and inward self are pure from bribery
Inclination is in his nature, not in the heavens
گر بدی زنده یوسف القاضیبه نیابت ازو شدی راضی
If Judge Yusuf were alive
He would be satisfied to act as his deputy
روز حشر و تغابن و زلزالاو دهد زین قضا جواب سؤال
On the day of gathering, mutual loss, and earthquake
He will give an answer for his judgments
نامهٔ او به روز حشر و قضانامهٔ یحیی است پاک و خلا
His record book on the day of gathering and judgment
Is like the record book of Yahya, pure and empty [of sin]
گر ز حشر است هرکسی را بیموز مکافات و از عذاب الیم
If everyone is afraid of the gathering
And of retribution and painful punishment
او بود ایمن از همه نکباتنبود در فریق حشر قضات
He will be safe from all calamities
He will not be in the group of judges at the gathering
مهتر خلق و سید ساداتگفت باشند از سه نوع قضات
The chief of creation and master of masters [the Prophet]
Said that judges are of three types
دو بود هالک و یکی ناجیمژده کاندر بهشت با تاجی
Two will perish and one will be saved
Good news that in heaven you will wear a crown
آنکه نارد چنو صنایع دهرنیز در هیچ شهر قاضی شهر
He whose equal the contrivances of the age do not bring
Nor does any judge in any city
علم دین تا بدو سپرد قضاجهل رحلت گزید سوی فنا
Since judgment entrusted the science of religion to him
Ignorance chose to depart towards annihilation
پیشش آن سر که در خزینه بودچون چراغ اندر آبگینه بود
Before him, that secret which was in the treasury
Was like a lamp within a glass
اندرین حضرت بزرگ چو جانمعنی او پدید و او پنهان
In this great presence, like the soul
His meaning is apparent and he is hidden
جان او را برای عالم غیبکرده خالی ز رسم و سیرت عیب
His soul, for the sake of the unseen world
He has emptied of custom and the character of fault
کرده پاک از میان جمع اممصفوت او کدورت از عالم
He has purified his purity from the turbidity of the world
From among the gathered nations
تازه کرده ز بهر یزدان راجان بی عقل و عقل بی جان را
He has refreshed for the sake of God
The soul without intellect and the intellect without soul
نظرش همچو جان پاک مسیحبوده در شرح علم و شرع فصیح
His gaze, like the pure breath of the Messiah
Has been eloquent in explaining knowledge and religious law
کرده دست عنایت دینشمتحلی به عقد تمکینش
The hand of the grace of his religion has made him
Adorned with the knot of his dignity
شمع دین صورت و بصیرت اوعقل جان سیرت و سریرت او
The candle of religion is his form and his insight
The intellect of the soul is his character and his innermost thought
گاه فتوی چو کلک برداردچتر حق بر فراز سر دارد
When he takes up the pen for a fatwa
He holds the umbrella of truth over his head
بی حقیقت قلم نگیرد هیچتو ز باد هوا ناله مپیچ
He does not take the pen without truth at all
Do not twist complaints from the wind of the air
نه به کس میل و نه ز کسب ملولچون پیمبر به علم دین مشغول
With no inclination toward anyone and not weary of work
Like the Prophet, occupied with the science of religion
زان به بیهوده می نپردازدکه همی شغل آخرت سازد
Therefore he does not engage in vain things
For he is preparing his affairs for the hereafter
بینی از هیچ چشم جان و خردبگشایی که تا بدو نگرد
You see from no eye of soul and intellect
That you open, unless it looks to him
گر شناسی مقدم از تالینیست این جا ز حیلتی خالی
If you know the premise from the conclusion
He is not empty of a contrivance here
فحل بودست در همه احوالچه به افعال دین چه در اقوال
He has been an outstanding leader in all circumstances
Whether in the actions of religion or in words
در رضا دین به نفس نسپاردخشم را در نهاد نگذارد
In contentment he does not entrust religion to the self
He does not leave anger in his nature
هست چون حوض کوثر از انعاممشرب عذب او ز زحمت عام
He is like the pool of Kawthar from benevolence
His sweet drinking place is free from the trouble of the public
اهل دین را معین و دلسوز اوستمفتی شرق و غرب امروز اوست
He is the helper and sympathetic one for the people of religion
He is the Mufti of the East and the West today
زین جهان از پی سرای معادشده مشغول در کشیدن زاد
From this world, in pursuit of the abode of the hereafter
He has become occupied in drawing provisions
تا عنان چون بدان جهان تابدعاقبت را چو نام خود یابد
So that when he turns the reins to that world
He will find the outcome to be like his own name [Mahmud/praised]
متناسب نهاد او با حلممتشابه سواد او با علم
His nature is proportional to forbearance
His drafting is similar to knowledge
چون قدر در سخا ریا نکندچون قضا در عطا خطا نکند
Like destiny, he does not show hypocrisy in generosity
Like divine decree, he does not make a mistake in giving
هرچه اندر نقاب قوت بودخاطرش را خرد به فعل نمود
Whatever was in the veil of potentiality
His intellect manifested it in action for his mind
رای بیدارش از طرسق صوابیک جهان خصم را کند در خواب
His awakened judgment, through the path of rightness
Puts a whole world of adversaries to sleep
فضل را بحر بود و عز را کانشرع را دایه بود و دین را جان
He was a sea for excellence and a mine for dignity
He was a wet nurse for the religious law and a soul for religion
روی او چون ز رای او بفروختآفتابی به آفتاب آموخت
Since his face shone from his judgment
It taught one sun to another
همچو اقبالش از دو عالم جایلاجرم هست پیر ملک خدای
Like his good fortune, he has a place from both worlds
Inevitably he is the elder of the kingdom of God
دل او همچو موی اوست سپیدباد در باغ شرع تا جاوید
His heart is as white as his hair
May the wind be in the garden of the religious law forever!
