بخش ۳۶ - در بیان سخن آن عارف که گفت دوستان همه عالم دشمنند و همه دشمنان دوستند / Section 36 - On the Explanation of the Saying of that Mystic Who Said All Friends in the World are Enemies and All Enemies are Friends

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

عارفی گفت هر که یارم شدخصم جان امیدوارم شد
A mystic said: "Whoever became my friend,
Became the enemy of my hopeful soul.
جوهر من مناسب خود یافترویم از حق به جانب خود تافت
He found my essence agreeable to his own,
And turned my face away from the Truth toward himself.
مرد حق زان که را بتر داندکه دلش را ز حق بگرداند
Whom does the man of Truth consider worse than the one
Who turns his heart away from the Truth?
وان که با من ز دشمنی زد دمدوستدار من اوست در عالم
And he who breathed hostility toward me,
He is my true friend in the world.
رویم از خود بتافت در حق کردقبله ام وجه حق مطلق کرد
He turned my face away from himself and toward the Truth,
And made the face of the Absolute Truth my Qibla.
که ازان به به پیش عاشق زارکه کند روی او به جانب یار
For what is better to a helpless lover
Than someone who turns his face toward the Beloved?
دشمنان خدا به مذهب مندوستانند و دوستان دشمن
By God, in my religion, enemies
Are friends, and friends are enemies.
تا تو در بند نفس وسواسیدشمن خود ز دوست نشناسی
As long as you are trapped by the whispering ego,
You will not distinguish your enemy from a friend.
نیست بر رهروان ستمگارههیچ دشمن ز نفس اماره
There is no enemy more oppressive to the wayfarers
Than the commanding ego."
