بخش ۵۲ - اشارت به زلف / Section 52 - Indication of the Curl

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

حدیث زلف جانان بس دراز استچه می پرسی از او کان جای راز است
The story of the Beloved's curl is very long;
Why do you ask of it, for it is a place of mystery?
مپرس از من حدیث زلف پرچینمجنبانید زنجیر مجانین
Do not ask me the story of the twisted curl;
Do not shake the chain of the insane.
ز قدش راستی گفتم سخن دوشسر زلفش مرا گفتا فروپوش
Last night I spoke of the straightness of His stature;
The tip of His curl told me to conceal it.
کژی بر راستی زو گشت غالبوز او در پیچش آمد راه طالب
Crookedness became dominant over straightness because of it,
And through it, the path of the seeker fell into twists and turns.
همه دلها از او گشته مسلسلهمه جانها از او بوده مقلقل
All hearts have become chained by it;
All souls have been agitated by it.
معلق صد هزاران دل ز هر سونشد یک دل برون از حلقهٔ او
A hundred thousand hearts are suspended from every side;
Not a single heart escaped from its ring.
گر او زلفین مشکین برفشاندبه عالم در یکی کافر نماند
If He shakes His musky curls,
Not a single infidel will remain in the world.
وگر بگذاردش پیوسته ساکننماند در جهان یک نفس مؤمن
And if He leaves it continuously still,
Not a single believer will remain in the world for a moment.
چو دام فتنه می شد چنبر اوبه شوخی باز کرد از تن سر او
When its loop became a trap of temptation,
In playfulness, it severed the head from the body.
اگر ببریده شد زلفش چه غم بودکه گر شب کم شد اندر روز افزود
If His curl was cut, what grief was there?
For if the night was shortened, it added to the day.
چو او بر کاروان عقل ره زدبه دست خویشتن بر وی گره زد
Since it robbed the caravan of reason,
It tied a knot upon it with its own hand.
نیابد زلف او یک لحظه آرامگهی بام آورد گاهی کند شام
His curl does not find rest for a moment;
Sometimes it brings morning, sometimes it makes evening.
ز روی و زلف خود صد روز و شب کردبسی بازیچه های بوالعجب کرد
From His face and curl He made a hundred days and nights;
He performed many wondrous plays.
گل آدم در آن دم شد مخمرکه دادش بوی آن زلف معطر
The clay of Adam was fermented in that moment
When the scent of that fragrant curl was given to it.
دل ما دارد از زلفش نشانیکه خود ساکن نمی گردد زمانی
Our heart has a sign from His curl,
For it does not remain still for a single moment.
از او هر لحظه کار از سر گرفتمز جان خویشتن دل برگرفتم
Through it, every moment I started the work anew,
And I withdrew my heart from my own soul.
از آن گردد دل از زلفش مشوشکه از رویش دلی دارد بر آتش
The heart becomes disturbed by His curl because
From His face, it has a heart set on fire.
