بخش ۲۶ - اندر بیان نسب آدمی من عرف نفسه فقد عرف ربه / Section 26 - On Explaining the Lineage of Man: 'He who knows himself, knows his Lord'

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

تو به قوت خلیفه ای به گهرقوت خویش را به فعل آور
You are a caliph in potentiality and in essence,
Bring your potentiality into actuality.
آدمی را میان عقل و هوااختیارست شرح کرمنا
For man, between intellect and passion,
There is free will, which is the explanation of 'We have honored.'
آدمی را مدار خوار که غیبجوهری شد میان رشتهٔ عیب
Do not hold man in contempt, for the Unseen
Has become a jewel threaded among defects.
از عبیدان ورای پرده چرااختیار اختیار کرده ترا
Of all the servants behind the veil, why
Has Choice itself chosen you?
تا تو از راه خشم و قلاشییا ددی یا بهیمه ای باشی
Lest, through the path of anger and profligacy,
You become either a beast of prey or a brute animal.
