متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مر جنب را به امر یزدانشپس نه مهجور کرد قرآنش
By God's command, for the ritually impure,
He did not make His Quran forbidden.
پس زانوی حیرتش بنشاندلایمسه چو بر دو دستش خواند
Then He seated him on the knee of bewilderment,
When he read 'None shall touch it' on both his hands.
مقری زاهدی از پی یک دانگهمچو قمری دو مغزه دارد بانگ
An ascetic reciter, for the sake of a copper coin,
Sings like a ring-dove with two kernels.
قول باری شنو هم از باریکه حجابست صنعت قاری
Hear the Word of the Creator from the Creator Himself,
For the art of the reciter is a veil.
مرد عارف سخن ز حق شنودلاجرم ز اشتیاق کم غنود
The gnostic hears the speech from the Truth,
Consequently, out of yearning, he sleeps little.
با خیال لطیف گوید رازشکن و پیچ ورقه در آواز
He whispers secrets with the subtle phantom,
With the folds and turns of the page in the sound.
در دل نفس نه نه بر رخ خالکه جمالت نشان دهد از حال
In the heart of the soul, not on the cheek's mole,
May your beauty show your state.
طبع قوال را زبون باشدعشق را مطرب از درون باشد
The nature of the singer is base,
Love has its minstrel from within.
هرچه آواز و نقش آوازه ستخانه شان از برون دروازه ست
Whatever is sound and the form of sound,
Their home is outside the gate.
هیچ معنیستی اگر در بانگبلبلی بنده نیستی به دو دانگ
If there were any meaning in sound,
A nightingale would not be enslaved for two copper coins.
عدتی دان در این سرای مجازچشم را رنگ و گوش را آواز
Consider it a provision in this house of metaphor,
Color for the eye, and sound for the ear.
دل ز معنی طلب ز حرف مجویکه نیابی ز نقش نرگس بوی
Seek the heart from the meaning, do not search for it in the letter,
For you will not find fragrance from the drawing of a narcissus.
مجلس روح جای بی گوشیستاندر آنجا سماع خاموشیست
The assembly of the spirit is a place of earlessness,
There, the audition is silence.
کت سوی عشق دیدنی باشدلذتی کان چشیدنی باشد
Where your sight is directed towards love,
A pleasure that is to be tasted.
طبع را از غنا مگردان شادکه غنا جز زنا نیارد یاد
Do not make the nature happy with music,
For music brings nothing to mind but adultery.
یار کو بر سر پل آید یارتو مر او را از آب دور مدار
The friend who comes as a friend onto the bridge,
Do not keep him away from the water.
یا به آتش فرو بر از سر کینیا به خاکش سپار و خوش بنشین
Either throw him into the fire out of malice,
Or commit him to the earth and sit happily.
هرچه در عشق نیک و هرچه بدستبار حکمش کشیدن از خردست
Whatever is good in love and whatever is bad,
Bearing the weight of its judgment is of wisdom.
هرچه صورت دهد به آبش دهنالهٔ زار در دل خوش نه
Whatever assumes form, consign it to the water,
Place the plaintive wailing in a happy heart.
چون برون ناله آید از دل خوشپای او گیر و سوی دوزخ کش
When wailing comes out of a happy heart,
Seize its foot and drag it to hell.
می نداری خبر تو ای نسناسکه به صد بند و حیلت و ریواس
You have no knowledge, O beast,
That with a hundred bonds, tricks, and deceptions,
زان همی دیو نفس در تو دمدتا زتو عقل و هوش تو برمد
The demon of the carnal soul blows into you,
So that your intellect and consciousness flee from you.
راه دین صنعت و عبارت نیستنحو و تصریف و استعارت نیست
The path of religion is not artifice and phrasing,
It is not grammar, conjugation, and metaphor.
این صفات از کلام حق دورستضمن قرآن چو در منثورست
These attributes are far from the Word of God,
Within the Quran, it is like scattered pearls.
تو در این بادیه پر از بیدادغمز را مغز خوانده شرمت باد
In this wilderness full of injustice,
You have called the wink the core; shame on you!
ناگهی باشد ای مسلمانانکه شود سوی آسمان قرآن
It may suddenly happen, O Muslims,
That the Quran returns to heaven.
گرچه ماندست سوی ما نامشنیست مانده شروع و احکامش
Although its name remains with us,
Its laws and rulings do not remain.
