Poem

بخش ۱۳ - در پرداختن این داستان / Section 13 - On the Composition of This Story

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

الا ای جوهر قدسی کجایی	نه در عرش و نه در کرسی کجایی
O holy essence, where art thou? Neither in the Empyrean nor in the Footstool, where art thou?
نه در کونین و نه در عالمینی	که سرگردان بین الاصبعینی
Neither in the two existences nor in the two worlds, for thou art wandering between the two fingers [of God].
گرت نقدست دنیی دین توداری	یکی دلدار برسیمین توداری
If this world is cash for you, then you possess religion; you have a silver-breasted sweetheart.
پس آن جامی که گویم این سخن دان	تو آن می بیخودی خویشتن دان
Therefore, know that the cup of which I speak this word is your own self-forgetfulness.
چو کار افتاده و محرم تو باشی	اگر دل گویمت آنهم تو باشی
Since you are experienced and a confidant, if I call you 'heart', you are indeed that.
اگر من شعر سازم جامهٔ راز	تو مرد راز شو جامه بینداز
If I fashion poetry as a garment of mystery, become a man of mystery and cast off the garment.
کنون گر تو چنین کردی که گفتم	فشانم بر تو هر دری که سفتم
Now, if you have done as I said, I shall shower upon you every pearl that I have pierced.
رفیقی داشتم کو حاصلی داشت	بجان در کار من بسته دلی داشت
I had a companion who possessed great virtue, whose soul was deeply attached to my work.
مرا گفتا چو خسرونامه امروز	فروغ خسروی دارد دلفروز
He said to me: 'Since today the Khosrow Nameh has a heart-enlightening royal luster,
اگرچه قصه ایی بس دلنوازست	چگویم قصه کوته بس درازست
Although it is a very heartwarming tale, what can I say? This short story is too long.
اگر موجز کنی این داستان را	نماند هیچ خار آن بوستان را
If you abridge this story, no thorn will remain in that garden.
چو اندر راز قشر و مغز باشد	همه روغن گزینی نغز باشد
Since within secrets there is both husk and kernel, selecting all the oil [essence] is beautiful.
دگر توحید و نعت و پند و امثال	که خسرونامه را بود اول حال
Furthermore, the monotheism, praises, counsels, and parables that Khosrow Nameh had at its beginning,
چو در اسرار نامه گفتهیی باز	دو موضع کردهیی یک چیز آغاز
Since you have already spoken of them in the Asrar Nameh, you have started the same thing in two places.
اگرچه اوستادانی که هستند	ره توحید و نعت و پند جستند
Although the masters who exist have sought the path of monotheism, praise, and counsel,
ولیک اندک سخن گفتند از آن دست	نهانی نیست میبین تا چنان هست
Yet they spoke but little in that manner; it is not hidden, look and see that it is so.
ترا دادست این قوت خداوند	که در توحید و نعتت نیست مانند
God has granted you this power, such that there is none like you in monotheism and praises.
اگر توحیدی و نعتی بگویی	جزای آن ترابس این نکویی
If you utter monotheism and praise, this goodness is sufficient reward for you.'
چو او در حق این قصه نکو گفت	چنان کردم همی القصه کو گفت
Since he spoke well concerning this story, I did indeed as he suggested.
برون کردم از آنجا انتخابی	برآوردم ز یک یک فصل بابی
I made a selection from it, and derived a chapter from each single section.
خدا را نعت و توحیدی بگفتم	ز هر در در حکمت نیز سفتم
I uttered praise and monotheism to God, and also pierced pearls from every door of wisdom.
اگرچیزی ترازش رازیان داشت	بگردانیدم از طرزی که آن داشت
If anything had the measure of the secret-keepers, I transformed it from its original manner.
سخن بعضی که چون زر نامور شد	در آتش بردمش تا آب زر شد
Some of the words that became renowned like gold, I cast into the fire until they became liquid gold.
مصیبت نامه کاندوه جهانست	الهی نامه کاسرار عیانست
The Mosibat Nameh, which is the sorrow of the world, and the Elahi Nameh, which is manifest secrets,
بداروخانه کردم هر دو آغاز	چگویم زود رستم زین و آن باز
I began both of them in the apothecary [darukhaneh]; how can I say? I quickly escaped from this and that again.
بداروخانه پانصد شخص بودند	که در هر روز نبضم مینمودند
In the apothecary there were five hundred persons who showed me their pulse every day.
میان آن همه گفت و شنیدم	سخن را به ازین نوعی ندیدم
Amidst all those conversations and hearings, I saw no words better than this kind.
اگر عیبی بود، گر عیب پوشی	چو تحسین نکنیم باری خموشی
If there be any fault, or if you be a concealer of faults, if you do not praise, at least remain silent.
مصیبت نامه زاد رهروانست	الهی نامه گنج خسروانست
The Mosibat Nameh is the provision of wayfarers; the Elahi Nameh is the treasure of kings.
جهان معرفت اسرار نامهست	بهشت اهل دل مختار نامهست
The world of gnosis is the Asrar Nameh; the paradise of the people of heart is the Mokhtar Nameh.
مقامات طیور اما چنانست	که مرغ عشق را معراج جانست
The Maqamat al-Tuyur [Conference of the Birds], however, is such that it is the ascension of the soul for the bird of love.
چو خسرونامه را طرزی عجیبست	ز طرز او که و مه را نصیبست
Since the Khosrow Nameh has a wondrous style, both the great and the small have a portion of its style.
کنون بشنو سخن تا راز گویم	ز مغز قصه، معنی بازگویم
Now hear the speech that I may tell you the secret, and expound the meaning from the kernel of the story.
که در هر نقطه صد معنی نهانست	ولی در چشم صاحبدل عیانست
For in every point a hundred meanings are hidden, yet they are manifest to the eye of the possessor of heart.
