بخش ۱۳ - اندر طلب بهشت به سالوسی / Section 13 - On Seeking Paradise Through Hypocrisy

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مرغ و حور از بهشت ابدانست	حکمت و دین بهشت یزدانست
Birds and houris belong to the paradise of bodies, Wisdom and religion are the paradise of God.
نبود جز جمال ایزد قوت	عاشقان را به جنت ملکوت
The sustenance of lovers in the celestial heaven Is nothing but the beauty of God.
تو چه دانی که می چه گیری قوت	در چنین دل کجا رسد ملکوت
How do you know what sustenance you are taking? In such a heart, how can the celestial realm arrive?
ملکوت از پی گدایی را	جان دهد از پی رضایی را
For the sake of begging in the celestial realm, One gives his soul for the sake of attaining His satisfaction.
آنکه در بند حور و غلمانست	نیست خواجه که از غلامانست
He who is in bondage to houris and youth, Is not a master, but is among the servants.
آنکه در صف بارگاه ازل	می سراید چو عندلیب غزل
He who in the rank of the court of eternity Sings ghazals like a nightingale,
چون گرفت از صفای صفوت قوت	ملک را باز داند از ملکوت
When he receives nourishment from the purity of selection, He distinguishes the physical world from the celestial world.
چون نداری مناهی اندر پیش	ز احتساب خرد به جو مندیش
Since you do not have prohibitions in front of you, Do not worry even a barleycorn's worth about the reckoning of intellect.
تو چه دانی بهشت یزدان چیست	چه شناسی که جنت جان چیست
How do you know what God's paradise is? How do you recognize what the paradise of the soul is?
کی برد شهوتت ترا به بهشت	تات حور و قصور باید و کشت
How can your lust carry you to paradise, When you desire houris, castles, and cultivated fields?
همچو بربط ز فسق و سیرت زشت	چشمتان هشت بهر هشت بهشت
Like a lute, through sin and an ugly character, Your eyes have opened for the sake of the eight paradises.
ای به دل کرده دین به نامردی	چند ازین نان و چند ازین خوردی
O you who have accepted religion with unmanliness in your heart, How much of this bread and how much of this have you eaten?
دلی آخر به دست کن روزی	که درو باشدت ز دین سوزی
At last, acquire a heart one day, In which there is a burning passion for religion.
گیرم این جا ز دیوی و زوشی	عیب خود بر همه همی پوشی
Suppose that here, out of devilry and ugliness, You completely conceal your faults from everyone.
چون رسی در جهان بی چونی	عیب گوید من اینکم چونی
When you arrive in the world of the beyond, Your fault will speak: 'Here I am, how are you?'
تو همی پوش همچو عامهٔ خلق	عیب خود بهر بارنامهٔ خلق
Keep concealing, like the common folk, Your fault for the sake of reputation among people.
پس بدان تا هوا شود خشنود	عذر می نه که عقلم این فرمود
Then, know that so your passion becomes pleased, You offer the excuse: 'My intellect commanded me to do this.'
گرچه بر خود بپوشی از پی فرع	از درون شرم دار شرم از شرع
Even if you conceal it from yourself for secondary reasons, Have shame from within, shame of the divine law.
این همه طمطراق بیهودست	عقل جز راستی نفرمودست
All this pomp and display is in vain; Intellect has commanded nothing but truthfulness.
وآن کسانی که مرد این راهند	از نهاد زمانه آگاهند
And those who are the men of this path, Are aware of the nature of time.
ستم دوست را چو از در اوست	دوست دارند که دوست دارد دوست
They love the cruelty of the Friend, since it comes from His door, Because the Friend loves what the Friend does.
خشم را از درون محمد وار	جز برای شکار شرع مدار
Do not harbor anger within you, in the manner of Muhammad, Except for hunting down the violators of the divine law.
حرص را سر بزن به تیغ وفا	بخل را پی کن از صفای رضا
Behead greed with the sword of fidelity; Hamstring stinginess with the purity of satisfaction.
وآن خرانی که بار گل بکشند	شربت صرف کار دل بچشند
And those donkeys that carry the load of clay, Will they taste the pure drink of the heart's work?
همه را بینی اندرین بنیاد	ز آتش دل دماغها پر باد
You see them all in this foundation, Their brains full of wind from the fire of the heart.
چون براین در نه ای سپهداری	کم ز سگ بانئی مکن باری
Since you are not a commander at this door, At least do not act less than a watchdog.
گر نمیرد چنین سگی در تو	از سگی کم بوی به محشر تو
If such a dog does not die within you, You will be less than a dog at the Resurrection.
از صفات سگی تهی کن رگ	ورنه در رستخیز خیزی سگ
Empty your veins of canine qualities, Otherwise, at the Resurrection, you will rise as a dog.
کمتر از سگ مباش و حق بشناس	که به یک لقمه دارد از تو سپاس
Do not be less than a dog, and know what is right, For a dog is grateful to you for a single morsel.
خشم را دل مده به جاه ویسار	سگ دیوانه بر درد هشیار
Do not surrender your heart to anger for the sake of position and wealth; A mad dog tears apart even the sober.
بر عاقل که یافت عقل و بصر	فربهی دیگر و ورم دیگر
To the wise person who has found intellect and sight, Fatness is one thing, and swelling is another.
نبود چون بصیر مرد ضریر	نیست حاجت مرا بدین تقریر
A blind man is not like a sighted man; There is no need for me to elaborate on this.
گرچه آبستنی ز دور زمن	او هم از مرگ تست آبستن
Even if you are pregnant by the passage of time, Time is also pregnant with your death.
جسم فربه مکن به لقمهٔ خوش	کاسب فربه چو شد شود سرکش
Do not make the body fat with delicious morsels, For when a horse becomes fat, it becomes rebellious.
روده کز باد گشت فربه و تر	بدو سوزن شود سبک لاغر
An intestine that has become fat and moist with gas, Becomes light and thin with two needles.
ابلهان مانده اند بر سر پل	پای در گل دو دست اندر غل
Fools are left at the head of the bridge, Feet in the mud, both hands in chains.
همه در آب این دو روزه نهاد	تازه و تر چو رودهٔ پر باد
All in the water of this transient existence, Fresh and moist like an inflated intestine.
تو در این خطهٔ فساد و فجور	از دل شاد مانده ای رنجور
You, in this domain of corruption and vice, Have remained afflicted despite a potentially cheerful heart.
گر تو هستی ز نسبت آدم	هم ز خود زای با کمر چو قلم
If you are of the lineage of Adam, Be born of yourself, girded like a pen.
اصل را هم به اصل باز رسان	خوش به خوش بخش وناخوشی به خسان
Return the origin to the origin; Give the pleasant to the pleasant, and the unpleasant to the wicked.
عقل و علمست آفت منحوس	پر و بالست فتنهٔ طاوس
Intellect and worldly knowledge are a sinister plague, Just as feathers and wings are the affliction of the peacock.
هرچه گویی نه در ره آدم	دیو و دد دیده گیرد اندر دم
Whatever you say that is not in the path of Adam, Demons and wild beasts will immediately catch your eye.
کبک سنت به بوستان نیاز	کی درآید چو در خرامد باز
How can the partridge of tradition enter the garden of need, When the hawk strides in?
گو سبک روح نیست دختر دین	هست اندر جهان گران کابین
Say, the daughter of religion is not light-spirited; She has a heavy dowry in the world.
نشود دل تهی ز پر گویی	پس تو خون را به خون چرا شویی
The heart does not become empty of excessive talking; So why do you wash blood with blood?
زان ترا گوشمال داد فلک	زیر چرخ کیان فراز سمک
For that reason, heaven gave you a warning, Beneath the wheel of kings, high above the fish.
تا نگویی جواب بوالحکمان	ور بگویی چو کوه گوی همان
Lest you answer the foolish pretenders of wisdom, And if you do speak, speak only like a mountain.
