بخش ۵۴ - اشارت به خال / Section 54 - Indication of the Mole

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بر آن رخ نقطهٔ خالش بسیط استکه اصل مرکز دور محیط است
On that cheek, the spot of His mole is simple,
Which is the source of the center of the circumference of the circle.
از او شد خط دور هر دو عالموز او شد خط نفس و قلب آدم
From it came the line of the circle of both worlds,
And from it came the line of the soul and heart of Adam.
از آن حال دل پرخون تباه استکه عکس نقطهٔ خال سیاه است
For this reason, the state of the blood-filled heart is ruined,
Because it is the reflection of the point of the black mole.
ز خالش حال دل جز خون شدن نیستکز آن منزل ره بیرون شدن نیست
From His mole, the state of the heart is nothing but turning into blood,
For there is no way out of that station.
به وحدت در نباشد هیچ کثرتدو نقطه نبود اندر اصل وحدت
In Unity, there is no plurality;
There are not two points in the origin of Unity.
ندانم خال او عکس دل ماستو یا دل عکس خال روی زیباست
I know not if His mole is the reflection of our heart,
Or if the heart is the reflection of the mole of that beautiful face.
ز عکس خال او دل گشت پیداو یا عکس دل آنجا شد هویدا
Did the heart become manifest from the reflection of His mole,
Or did the reflection of the heart become visible there?
دل اندر روی او یا اوست در دلبه من پوشیده شد این راز مشکل
Is the heart in His face, or is He in the heart?
This difficult secret remains hidden from me.
اگر هست این دل ما عکس آن خالچرا می باشد آخر مختلف حال
If this heart of ours is the reflection of that mole,
Why is it, after all, of varying states?
گهی چون چشم مخمورش خراب استگهی چون زلف او در اضطراب است
Sometimes it is ruined like His languid eye,
Sometimes it is in agitation like His curl.
گهی روشن چو آن روی چو ماه استگهی تاریک چون خال سیاه است
Sometimes it is bright like that moon-like face,
Sometimes it is dark like the black mole.
گهی مسجد بود گاهی کنشت استگهی دوزخ بود گاهی بهشت است
Sometimes it is a mosque, sometimes a synagogue,
Sometimes it is hell, sometimes heaven.
گهی برتر شود از هفتم افلاکگهی افتد به زیر تودهٔ خاک
Sometimes it rises higher than the seventh heaven,
Sometimes it falls beneath the heap of dust.
پس از زهد و ورع گردد دگر بارشراب و شمع و شاهد را طلبکار
After piety and abstinence, it becomes once more
A seeker of wine, the candle, and the beloved.
