متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آنکه در بند مال و اسبابندهمه غرقه میان گردابند
Those who are bound by wealth and possessions,
Are all drowned in the midst of a whirlpool.
وان کسان کز برون در ماندنددان که در دست خویش درماندند
And those who remained outside the door,
Know that they are helpless in their own hands.
عامه دل در هوای جان بستندزانکه از دست جهل سرمستند
The common folk set their hearts on the desires of the self,
Because they are intoxicated by the hand of ignorance.
خاصه در عالم معاینه اندهمچو سیماب و روی آینه اند
The elite, however, are in the world of direct witnessing,
Like quicksilver on the back of a mirror.
همه دست نهال کن دارندهمه مرغ قفس شکن دارند
They all have hands that uproot seedlings,
They all have birds that shatter cages.
از پی ملک دین نه از پی ملکروی زردان دل سپید چو کلک
For the sake of the kingdom of faith, not the kingdom of earth,
They are yellow-faced but white-hearted like a reed pen.
پرنیازان بی نیازانندراست بازان پاکبازانند
Full of supplication, yet independent of all,
They are honest players and selfless risk-takers.
قدشان بیش امر بالیدهکشف را زیر کفش مالیده
Their stature has grown beyond command,
They have trampled spiritual unveiling beneath their footwear.
جامه شان از پی ریاضت پوستهمچو طبع لئیم خواری دوست
Their garment is made of skin for the sake of self-discipline,
Like a base nature, loving humility.
سرشان از برای دار بلندنردبان پایهٔ حصار بلند
Their heads are destined for the high gallows,
A ladder to the high fortress wall.
همه با عندلیب دل خویشندهمه سیمرغ خانهٔ خویشند
They are all with the nightingale of their own heart,
They are all the Simurgh of their own house.
همه را در جهان نه روح و نه جسمدر گرفته چو کودکان از بسم
They have neither spirit nor body in this world,
Having begun, like children, from 'Bismillah'.
اسم خوانده به فعل آمده بازهمه خاموش و صید جوی چو باز
Having read the Name, they have returned to action,
All silent and seeking prey like a falcon.
زهره از بهر قوت حالتکرده پر زهر و گفته ما را لت
For the strength of their mystical state,
They have filled their gallbladders with poison and said, 'Strike us!'
زهر قهر از میان جان دارندشکر شکر بر زبان دارند
They hold the poison of wrath in the depths of their soul,
Yet they have the sweetness of gratitude on their tongue.
گرد کوی ملامتی روبندحلقهٔ جان دولتی کوبند
They sweep the dust of the lane of blame,
They knock on the ring of the door of the prosperous soul.
از پی ضیف آسمان جلالهمه شب رو بسان طیف خیال
For the guest of the heaven of majesty,
All night they walk like a phantom of imagination.
عاشق مرگ هریک از پی برگخویشتن را کشیده زیشان مرگ
Each is a lover of death for the sake of spiritual provision,
And death itself has withdrawn from them.
