متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

هست حق را ز بهر جان شریفاندر اثناء حکم صنع لطیف
For the sake of the noble soul, God has
A subtle craft within the course of His decree.
داند آنکس که خرده دان باشدکانچه او کرد خیرت آن باشد
He who is discerning knows
That whatever He has done is for the best.
نیک نز میل و بد نه ز اسبابستبد نه از فصد لیک جلابست
Good is not from inclination, and bad is not from causes;
The bad is not bloodletting, but is rather a sweet drink.
نام نیکو و زشت از من و تستکار ایزد نیکو بود به درست
The naming of good and bad is from you and me;
In truth, the work of God is completely good.
گرچه باشد به ظاهر آن همه خوبلیک باطن بود همه معیوب
Though it may appear entirely good on the surface,
Yet the inner reality is completely defective.
کی بسازد به حکم مطلق توباد با بادبان زورق تو
How can the wind ever comply with your absolute command,
Along with the sail of your boat?
خیر و شر نیست در جهان اصلانیست چیزی ازو نهان اصلا
There is no good and evil in the world at all;
Nothing is hidden from Him in the least.
مرگ اگر چند بد نکوست ترامال و میراثها ازوست ترا
Death, though it seems bad, is good for you;
For wealth and inheritance come to you from it.
هرچه در خلق سوزی و سازیستاندر آن مر خدای را رازیست
Whatever burning and adapting there is in creation,
In that, there is a secret of God.
ای بسا شیر کان ترا آهوستوی بسا درد کان ترا داروست
Oh, many a lion that is a gazelle to you,
And many a pain that is a remedy for you!
