بخش ۱۳ - فی‌الهدایة / Section 13 - On Guidance

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

سبب هدیهٔ ایادی اونفس را مهتدی و هادی او
The cause of the gift of His favors,
Making the soul guided, and He is its guide.
در ره شرع و فرض و سنت خویشمنت حق شمر نه منت خویش
In the path of your religious law, obligations, and traditions,
Count the favor of God, not your own doing.
نوربخش یقین و تلقین اوستهم جهان بان و هم جهان بین اوست
He is the giver of light to certainty and instruction,
He is both the guardian of the world and the seer of the world.
چون پرستد تن گران او راچه شناسد روان و جان او را
How can the heavy body worship Him?
How can the spirit and soul comprehend Him?
سنگ پاره است لعل کان آنجابوالفضولست عقل و جان آنجا
The ruby of the mine is but a piece of stone there;
Intellect and soul are but meddling intruders there.
بی زبانی ثنا زبان تو بسهرزه گویی غم و زیان تو بس
Silence in praise is tongue enough for you;
Idle speech is sorrow and loss enough for you.
منت کردگار هادی بینکادمی را زجمله کرد گزین
Behold the favor of the Creator, the Guide,
Who chose humanity above all creation.
از پس کفر اهل دینمان کردبه سیاهی سپیدبین مان کرد
After disbelief, He made us people of faith;
In the darkness, He made us see the light.
حضرتش را برای ماده و نربی نیازی ز پیر و پیغمبر
His Presence, for both male and female,
Is completely independent of elders and prophets.
کرده از بهر رهبری شش میرگربه ای را فتی سگی را پیر
For the sake of guidance, He appointed six leaders,
Making a cat a chivalrous youth and a dog a spiritual guide.
تو مر آنرا که رخ به حق ناردبت شمر هرچه داند و دارد
As for anyone who does not turn their face to the Truth,
Deem an idol whatever they know and possess.
رهبرت لطف او تمام بودچرخ از آن پس ترا غلام بود
If His grace is your perfect guide,
The heavens thereafter will be your servant.
روی برتافته ز حضرت حقمن نگویم که مردمست الحق
One who has turned their face away from the Presence of Truth,
I will not say they are human, in truth.
سگ به از ناکسی که روی بتافتزانکه ناجسته سگ شکار نیافت
A dog is better than a worthless person who turned away,
For without seeking, a dog does not find prey.
سگ کهدانی از چه فربه شدنه ز تازی به کارها به شد
Why did the watchdog of the straw-shed grow fat?
Did it not become better in its tasks than a greyhound?
خود ز رخسار صبح و پشت شفقدر ره عشق پیش رو سوی حق
By the face of morning and the back of twilight,
On the path of love, go forward toward the Truth.
روز که بود که پرده در باشدشب که باشد که پرده گر باشد
What is the day that it should tear the veil?
What is the night that it should make the veil?
هرکه آمد بدو و گوش آوردخود نیامد که لطف اوش آورد
Whoever came to Him and lent an ear,
Did not come on their own, but His grace brought them.
هم از او دان که جان سجود کندکابر هم ز آفتاب جود کند
Know also that it is from Him that the soul prostrates,
Just as the cloud is generous because of the sun.
هر هدایت که داری ای درویشهدیهٔ حق شمر نه کردهٔ خویش
Whatever guidance you possess, O dervish,
Count it as God's gift, not your own doing.
آل برمک ز جود کس گشتندبا سخاوت چو همنفس گشتند
The Barmakids became famous through generosity,
When they became intimate companions with munificence.
نام ایشان چون روح باقی ماندورچه گردون فنای ایشان خواند
Their name remained eternal like the spirit,
Even though the heavens declared their annihilation.
قوم این روزگار گرچه خوشندچون مگس شوخ چشم و دیده کشند
The people of this age, though they seem pleasant,
Are bold-eyed like flies and bring harm to the eyes.
به سخن چون شکر همه نوشندبه سخا دل درند و جان جوشند
In speech, they are all sweet like sugar,
But in generosity, they tear hearts and trouble souls.
