بخش ۱۱ - در آفرینش جهان / Section 11 - On the Creation of the World

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

از برای تناهی اندر کردعالم جسم گویی آمد گرد
For the sake of finitude in creation,
The world of bodies came to be round.
متساوی نهاد چون گوییمتفاوت نه سویی از سویی
Equally structured like a sphere,
Not differing one side from another.
هست ممتد جهان و اندر حدمتناهی جهت بود ممتد
The world is extended, and within bounds,
The finite dimension was extended.
بعد از آن در ولایت تصویرمرتبه نقش دان و نقش پذیر
After that, in the dominion of shaping,
Know the rank of the form and the form-receiver.
ز اول جان و آخر مرجانفاعل و منفعل در این دو میان
From the beginning of the soul to the end of the coral,
Active and passive are between these two.
در سرای صفت پذیر فنااز پی رفعت قصور و بنا
In the abode of attributes susceptible to annihilation,
For the sake of raising castles and structures,
عقل در بند امر بنشستهنفس در شوق عقل دل خسته
The intellect sits bound by the command,
The soul, in desire for intellect, is heartsick.
صورت از بهر مایه اندر بندنه فلک را به دست هفت کمند
Form is in bondage for the sake of matter,
The nine heavens in the grip of seven lassos.
وز درون فلک چهار گهرهمه در بند و خصم یکدیگر
And from within the sphere, four jewels,
All in bondage and enemies to each other.
سه موالید از این چهار ارکانچون نبات و معادن و حیوان
The three realms from these four elements:
Like plants, and minerals, and animals.
چون نباتی غذای حیوان شدحیوان هم غذای انسان شد
When a plant became food for the animal,
The animal also became food for the human.
نطق انسان چو شد غذای ملکتا بدین روی باز شد به فلک
When human speech became food for the angel,
By this path it returned to the heavens.
ورنه در عالم یقین و گمانخر همان بودی و حکیم همان
Otherwise, in the world of certainty and doubt,
The donkey would remain the same, and the sage the same.
نطق زیبا ز خامشی بهترورنه در جان فرامشی بهتر
Beautiful speech is better than silence,
Otherwise, forgetfulness in the soul is better.
در سخن در ببایدت سفتنورنه گنگی به از سخن گفتن
In speech, you must pierce pearls,
Otherwise, muteness is better than speaking.
گنگ اندر حدیث کم آوازبه که بسیار گوی بیهده تاز
A mute with little voice in speech,
Is better than a talkative, vain babbler.
کرد عقلت نصیحتی محکمکه نکو گوی باش یا ابکم
Your intellect gave you solid advice,
Either speak well or be mute.
گر نصیحت قبول کردی توفضل را کی فضول کردی تو
If you had accepted the advice,
When would you have turned grace into meddling?
