بخش ۲ - ذکر جلال قرآن / Section 2 - Mention of the Glory of the Quran

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

هم جلیلست با حجاب جلالهم دلیلست با نقاب دلال
It is both majestic with the veil of majesty,
And a guide with the mask of grace.
سخن اوست واضح و واثقحجت اوست لایح و لایق
His speech is clear and trustworthy,
His proof is manifest and worthy.
در جان را حروف او درجستچرخ دین را هدایتش برجست
Its letters contain the pearl of the soul,
Its guidance is a constellation for the wheel of religion.
روضهٔ انس عارفانست اوجنة الاعلی روانست او
It is the garden of intimacy for the gnostics,
It is the highest heaven for the soul.
ای ترا از قرائت قرآناز سر غفلت و ره عصیان
O you, whose recitation of the Quran
Is out of negligence and on the path of rebellion,
بر زبان از حروف ذوقی نهدر جنان از وقوف شوقی نه
Having no taste of the letters on your tongue,
And no yearning in your heart from understanding,
از کمال جلالت و سلطانهست قرآن به حجت و برهان
Due to the perfection of its majesty and authority,
The Quran stands as a proof and demonstration.
بر زبان طرف حرف و ذوقی نهغافل از معنیش که از پی چه
On your tongue is only the edge of the letter, no taste,
Heedless of its meaning, not knowing for what purpose.
از درون شمع منهج اسلاموز برون حارس عقیدهٔ عام
From within, it is the candle of the path of Islam,
And from without, the guardian of the common creed.
عاقلان را حلاوتی در جانغافلان را تلاوتی به زبان
For the wise, a sweetness in the soul;
For the negligent, a recitation on the tongue.
دیده روح و حروف قرآن راچشم جسم این و چشم جان آنرا
The spirit sees the spirit, and the eye of the body sees the letters of the Quran;
The physical eye sees the latter, and the eye of the soul sees the former.
زحمت این ببرده چشم ز گوشنعمت آن بخورده روح ز هوش
The physical eye has taken its trouble from the ear,
The spirit has consumed its bounty through consciousness.
زآسمان تفضل و احسانهر نقط زو چو طرهٔ یاران
From the heaven of grace and benevolence,
Every dot of it is like the tresses of friends,
ز ابر برش جدا شده به لطفعقد در بسته در دهان صدف
Separated from the rain cloud by grace,
Like a string of pearls locked in the mouth of a seashell.
بهر نامحرمان به پیش جمالبسته از مشک پرده های جلال
For the uninitiated, before its beauty,
It has drawn veils of majesty made of musk.
پرده و پرده دار را از شاهنبود دل ز کار او آگاه
The veil and the gatekeeper
Are not aware of the King's affairs.
داند آنکس که وی بصر داردپرده از شاه کی خبر دارد
He who has vision knows;
How can the veil have news of the King?
نشد از دور طارم ازرقعرق او سست و تازگیش خلق
The blue dome of the sky through its cycles
Did not make its root weak, nor its freshness worn out.
نقش و حرف و قرائتش به یقیناز زمین هست تا سر پروین
Its script, letters, and recitation, with certainty,
Extend from the earth to the summit of the Pleiades.
تو هنوز از کفایت شب و روزقشر اول چشیده ای از گوز
You, still occupied with the worries of day and night,
Have only tasted the first outer shell of the walnut.
تو ز قرآن نقاب او دیدیحرف او را حجاب او دیدی
You saw only the veil of the Quran;
You saw its letters as its hijab.
پیش نااهل چهره نگشادستنقش او پیش او بر استادست
It has not revealed its face to the unworthy;
Its script stands as a barrier before him.
گر ترا هیچ اهل آن دیدیآن نقاب رقیق بدریدی
If it saw you worthy of it,
It would tear that thin veil,
مر ترا روی خویش بنمودیتا روانت بدو بیاسودی
It would show its face to you,
So that your soul would find rest in it.
اولین پوست زفت و تلخ بوددومین چون ز ماه سلخ بود
The first skin is thick and bitter;
The second is like the end of the lunar month.
سیمین از حریر زرد تنکچارمین مغز آبدار خنک
The third is of thin yellow silk;
The fourth is the cool, juicy kernel.
پنجمینت منزل است خانهٔ توسنت انبیا ستانهٔ تو
The fifth is your destination, your home;
The sunnah of the prophets is your threshold.
چون ز پنجم روان بیاراییپس به اول چرا فرود آیی
Once you adorn your soul with the fifth,
Why would you descend back to the first?
دل مجروح را شفا زویستجان محروم را دوا زویست
Healing for the wounded heart is from it;
Medicine for the deprived soul is from it.
تن چشد طعم ثفلش از پی زیستجان شناسد که طعم روغن چیست
The body tastes the dregs of it for the sake of survival;
The soul knows what the taste of the oil is.
حس چه بیند مگر که صورت نغزمغز داند که چیست آنرا مغز
What does the sense see but the beautiful form?
Only the intellect knows what the essence of it is.
صورت سورتش همی خوانیصفت سیرتش نمی دانی
You read the form of its chapters;
You do not know the quality of its character.
کم ز مهمان سرای عدن مدانخوان قرآن به پیش قرآن خوان
Deem it not less than the guest house of Eden;
The table of the Quran is spread before the reciter of the Quran.
حرف را زان نقاب خود کردستکه ز نامحرمی تو در پردست
It has made the letter its veil because,
Due to your unworthiness, you are behind the curtain.
تو همان دیده ای ز سورت آنکاهل صورت ز صورت سلطان
You have seen in its chapters only what
The people of form see in the form of a king.
صورت از عین روح بیخبرستتن دگر دان که روح خود دگرست
Form is unaware of the essence of the spirit;
Know the body as one thing and the spirit as another.
چه شماری حروف را قرآنچه حدیث حدث کنی با آن
Why do you count the letters as the Quran?
Why do you speak of transient things with it?
که نبینند همچو بیدارانذات او خفتگان و طراران
For those who sleep and the thieves
Do not see its essence, unlike the vigilant.
حرف با او اگرچه هم خوابه استبی خبر همچو نقش گرمابه است
Though the letter is its bedfellow,
It is unaware, like a painting on a bathhouse wall.
