بخش ۳۸ - در بیان معنی ان من العصمة ان لایقدر / Section 38 - On Explaining the Meaning of 'Indeed, Part of Protection from Sin is Not Having the Power'

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن دگر نکته را که کرد اداشافعی از کلام اهل هدی
That other point which was expressed
By Shafi'i from the words of the people of guidance
بود آن کز خدای عز و جلعصمت آمد نصیب تو ز ازل
Was that from God, the Mighty and Majestic,
Protection from sin became your portion from eternity
کانچه خواهد دلت ز خود راییندهندت بر او توانایی
So that whatever your heart desires out of self-will
They do not give you the power over it
عصمت است اینکه نیست سیم و زرتکه شود آرزوی شور و شرت
Protection is this: that you have no silver and gold
To become the object of your turbulent desires
مطرب آری به خانه می نوشیشاهدان را کنی هم آغوشی
To bring a minstrel into the house of wine-drinking
And embrace beautiful companions
عصمت است اینکه نیست دسترستکه چو آزار کس شود هوست
Protection is this: that you have no reach
When your whim desires to harm someone
برکشی تیغ و خون او ریزیخاک و خونش به هم درآمیزی
To draw a sword and spill their blood
To mingle their dust and blood together
عصمت است اینکه صاحب دیواننیستی خوش نشسته در ایوان
Protection is this: that you are not a master of the council
Sitting pleasantly on a throne
تا کنی بر امید عزت و جاهعالمی را ز دود خانه سیاه
So that, in the hope of honor and rank,
You turn a world's home to black smoke
عصمت است اینکه همچو شحنه شهرنیست با هر کسیت قوه قهر
Protection is this: that like the city's police chief
You do not have the power of coercion over everyone
تا کنی تهمت مسلمانیواستانی به ظلم تاوانی
To falsely accuse a Muslim
And exact a penalty through oppression
عصمت است اینکه نیستی قاضیکه چو باشی ز خواجه ناراضی
Protection is this: that you are not a judge
Who, when displeased with a master,
مالش از حکم پایمال کنیخون او بر کسان حلال کنی
Can trample his wealth by decree
And make his blood lawful to others
عصمت است اینکه ز احتساب تو رانیست حظی به هیچ باب تو را
Protection is this: that from the office of public inspection
You have no share in any matter
تا به بهتان در بهانه زنیبیگناهی به تازیان هزنی
So that you might use slander as an excuse
To strike an innocent with a whip
صد ازین عصمت است هر نفسیکه ندارد بدان شعور کسی
A hundred times this is protection, at every breath
Though no one has awareness of it
گر دهم شرح آن دراز شودوحشت انگیز اهل راز شود
If I were to explain it, it would grow long
And become terrifying to the people of secrets
زانچه گفتم دلت گران نکنیوهم تعریض این و آن نکنی
Do not make your heart heavy from what I said
And do not harbor thoughts of indirect criticism against this or that person
من که عیب است پای تا به سرمکی به عیب کسان فتد نظرم
I, who am flawed from head to toe,
How could my gaze fall upon the flaws of others?
خود مرا در میان چه کار و چه بارغیر من دیگریست کارگزار
What business or burden do I myself have in the middle?
There is another Agent other than me
من زبان و او سخن گذارندهبلکه من خامه و او نگارنده
I am the tongue and He is the speaker
Rather, I am the pen and He is the writer
در حقایق به چشم عامه مبینحرف و نقش از زبان خامه مبین
Do not look at realities with the eyes of the common people
Do not view the letters and forms as coming from the tongue of the pen
خامه آمد ز دست جنبش گیردست درست قدرتست اسیر
The pen received movement from the hand
The hand is a captive in the grip of Power
قدرت آمد اراده را تابعوان ارادت ز علم شد واقع
Power came as a follower to Will
And that Will became actualized from Knowledge
علم فایض ز واهب فیاضکه مبراست فیضش از اعراض
The Knowledge overflowing from the Bountiful Giver
Whose emanation is free from accidents
لیکن آن علم اختیاری نیستفیضانش جز اضطراری نیست
But that Knowledge is not voluntary
Its overflowing is nothing but compelled
علم فایض چو گشت فتوی دهکه نوشتن ز نانوشتن به
When the overflowing Knowledge gave the verdict
That writing is better than not writing
تابع او شدند کارکنانشد نوشته به هر ورق سخنان
The workers became its followers
And words were written on every page
سر این سلسله ببین که کجاستجنبش مابقی ازان سر خاست
Look at the head of this chain, where it is
The movement of the rest arose from that head
سر چو جنبید کی بود ممکنکه بود ماورای سر ساکن
When the head moved, how is it possible
That what is beyond the head remains still?
گر تو را این نوشته ناید خوشبشکن خامه را و دم درکش
If this writing does not please you,
Break the pen and hold your breath
زانکه خامه درین نوشتن خطمظهر فعل کاتب است فقط
Because the pen in writing these lines
Is only the manifestation of the Scribe's action
نیست امری دگر به خامه مضافعیب خامه چه می کنی ز گزاف
No other command is attached to the pen
Why do you blame the pen unjustly?
هرگه از چوب بر سگ آید کوبباشد از جهل سگ گزیدن چوب
Whenever a strike falls upon a dog from a stick
It is from the dog's ignorance to bite the stick
چوب را در میانه کاری نیستدر کف چوب اختیاری نیست
The stick has no role in the middle
There is no choice in the hand of the stick
سگ اگر نیز می کند دنداناینک آن چوبزن خوش و خندان
If the dog also bares its teeth
There is the striker of the stick, happy and smiling
در کف قهر حق من آن چوبمکه به سگ سیرتان رسد کوبم
In the grip of God's wrath, I am that stick
That my strike may reach the dog-like ones
گر کسی را بود خیال نطقدر میان نیستم من آنک حق
If anyone harbors the thought of speech
I am not in the middle; it is the Truth.
