بخش ۳۸ - اندر تجرید گوید / Section 38 - On Detachment

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

هرکه خواهد ولایت تجریدوآنکه جوید هدایت توحید
Whoever seeks the kingdom of detachment, and whoever searches for the guidance of unity,
از درونش نماید آسایشوز برونش نباشد آرایش
Comfort manifests from within them, and from without there is no adornment.
آن ستایش که از نمایش اوستترک آرایش و ستایش اوست
The praise that comes from their display, is actually the abandonment of their own adornment and praise.
بر در شه گدای نان خواهدباز عاشق غذای جان خواهد
At the king's door, the beggar seeks bread; but the lover seeks the nourishment of the soul.
عاشقان جان و دل فدا کردندذکر او روز و شب غذا کردند
Lovers have sacrificed heart and soul; they made His remembrance their food day and night.
در طریقت مجرد و چالاکداده بر باد آب و آتش و خاک
In the spiritual path, detached and swift, they have cast water, fire, and earth to the wind.
زانکه در عرصهٔ معالم عصرچه برش جاهلان چه عالم عصر
For in the arena of the age's knowledge, what does it matter to them who are the ignorant or the learned of the era?
ای برادر بر آذر تجریدجگر خود کباب دان نه ثرید
O brother, on the fire of detachment, consider your own liver as roasted meat, not merely broth.
سگ دون همت استخوان جویدپنجهٔ شیر مغز جان جوید
The mean-spirited dog seeks a bone; the lion's claw seeks the marrow of the soul.
مرد عالی همم نخواهد بندسگ بود سگ به لقمه ای خرسند
The man of high ambition seeks no bond; a dog is but a dog, content with a morsel.
قصه کم گوی و عاجزی پیش آراستخوان را تو با سگان بگذار
Speak fewer tales and bring forth your helplessness; leave the bone to the dogs.
تو به گوهر گرفته ای رفعتپس چرا چون سگی تو دون همت
You have attained loftiness through your essence; why then are you mean-spirited like a dog?
هرکه را عالیست همت اوهر دو عالم شده ست نعمت او
Whoever possesses high ambition, both worlds have become their blessing.
وآنکه دون همتست همچون سگهست چون سگ ز بهر نان در تگ
And whoever is mean-spirited like a dog, is like a dog running after bread.
کشف اگر بند گرددت بر تنکشف را کفش ساز و بر سر زن
If mystical unveiling becomes a chain upon your body, turn that unveiling into a shoe and strike it upon your head.
گر همی روح خواهی از تن فردلا چو داراست گرد او برگرد
If you desire the spirit to be free from the body, revolve around 'La' (Negation), for it is the possessor.
کی ز لاهوت خود بیابی بارتات ناسوت بر نشد بردار
How will you ever find admittance to your Divinity (Lahut), until Humanity (Nasut) is removed from you?
با تو و بود تو خرد تیره استچشم غفلت از آن جهان خیره است
While you are with your 'self', intellect is darkened; the eye of negligence is dazzled by that other world.
زانکه عیسیت را سوی لاهوتهست در راه جمعة الصلبوت
For your 'Jesus' to reach Divinity, the path lies through the Assembly of the Grave (Jum'at al-Salbut).
نیست کن هرچه راه و رای بودتات دل خانهٔ خدا بود
Annihilate whatever is path or opinion, so that your heart may become the house of God.
تا ترا بود با تو در ذاتستکعبه با طاعتت خراباتست
As long as your ego remains with you in your essence, the Kaaba with your obedience is but a tavern.
ور ز ذات تو بود تو دورستبتکده از تو بیت معمورست
But if your 'self' is far from your essence, then even the idol-temple becomes for you the 'Inhabited House'.
ای خرابات جوی پر آفاتپسر خر تویی و خر آبات
O you who seek taverns full of calamities, you are the son of an ass and an ass-house.
نفس تست آنکه کفر و دین آوردلاجرم چشم رنگ بین آورد
It is your own self that brought forth both infidelity and faith; inevitably it brought a color-blinded eye.
بی تو خوش با تو هست بس ناخوشبه در اندازد خواجه گربه ز کش
Without 'you', it is pleasant; with 'you', it is most unpleasant; the master throws the cat from his lap.
در قدم کفرها و دینها نیستدر صفاء صفت چنینها نیست
In pre-eternity, there are no infidelities or faiths; in the purity of the Divine Attribute, such things do not exist.
