بخش ۶۶ - اندر صفت صورت عالم / Section 66 - On the Description of the Form of the World

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

تو به گوهر ورای دو جهانیچکنم قدر خود نمی دانی
In your essence, you are beyond both worlds;
What can I do, for you do not know your own worth?
با زنان نیک هم نبردی توبا چنین زور مرد مردی تو
You are a peer to virtuous women;
Yet with such strength, you are a true man among men.
چه کمست ای بزرگ زاده ترادر گشاده ست و خوان نهاده ترا
What is lacking for you, O noble-born?
The door is opened, and the banquet table is laid for you.
گر تو خود را در این سرای غروراز سر جهل و بخل داری دور
If you, in this abode of deception,
Keep yourself away from ignorance and greed,
پنج نوبت زنی چو عقل و چو جانبر سر هفت چرخ و چار ارکان
You will beat the drum five times, like intellect and soul,
Over the seven spheres and the four elements.
ور قبای فنا بیندازیبه قبیلهٔ بقای حق تازی
And if you cast off the cloak of mortality,
You will hasten to the tribe of God's eternity.
بر سه جانت بکن به شبگیریدو سلام و چهار تکبیری
At dawn, over your three souls, perform
Two greetings of peace and four proclamations of greatness (funeral prayers).
آخشیجان و گنبد دوارمردگانند زندگانی خوار
The elements and the revolving dome of heaven
Are dead things, living a wretched life.
چه کنی در جهان بیم آرشزانکه بی پرسش است بیمارش
What do you do in this world of fear and pain?
For its patient is sick without anyone to ask after him.
برگذر کین سرای پر وحلستنردبان پایه عمر و بام اجلست
Pass on, for this abode is full of mire;
The ladder-rung is life, and the roof is death.
هرکه بر متن این سرای رسیدباز دستش به دیدگان بکشید
Whoever reached the roof of this abode,
Rubbed his hand over his eyes in regret.
