بخش ۳۹ - ذکر انقطاع نسب / Section 39 - On the Mention of the Severance of Lineage

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آدم پاک را برآر از گلچشم روشن مدار و تاری دل
Bring out the pure Adam from the clay,
Do not possess a bright eye and a dark heart.
به خدای ار بود ز بهر شرفاز خلیفه خدای چون تو خلف
By God, if it were for the sake of honor,
How could a successor like you come from God's vicegerent?
گر تو اینجا نسب درست کنیبر خود آن راه نار چست کنی
If you try to validate your lineage here,
You will only make the path of fire swift upon yourself.
صبر کن تا درین سرای مجازاز پی آز و غم نه از پی ناز
Be patient until in this transitory abode,
For the sake of greed and grief, and not for luxury,
بر کشندت به دست عافیتیآخر این پوستهای عاریتی
They eventually strip off these borrowed skins from you,
With the hand of deliverance,
تا چو از خاک خود برون آییتا در آن دم ز آب چون آیی
So that when you emerge from your dust,
You shall see in that moment how you emerge from the water.
راد مردی گزین تو با دل خوشهمچو سفله مباش خواری کش
Choose nobility with a joyful heart,
Do not be like a base person enduring humiliation.
اهل دنیا به خوبی و زشتیخفتگانند جمله در کشتی
The people of this world, in good and bad,
Are all sleepers in a ship,
بادبان برکشیده بهر سفرخاک تیره ز آب و نار شمر
With sails hoisted for the journey,
Count the dark earth as made of water and fire.
غافل از روی جهل و از ادبیرابلقان سوارکش در زیر
Heedless out of ignorance and misfortune,
With piebald horses carrying riders beneath them,
کی بایستد مگر دمی به غروراز خدای و ز خلق یکسر دور
When would they halt, except for a moment in pride,
Entirely distant from God and creation?
هرکه گشت از غرور و غفلت مستنیکی آن جهان بداد ز دست
Whoever becomes intoxicated with pride and heedlessness,
Loses the goodness of the next world.
نه شتاب آیدت به کار و نه صبرزانکه بشتافت و صبر کرد آن گبر
Neither haste will benefit your work, nor patience,
For that infidel both hastened and showed patience.
هادی ره به جز هدایت نیستوآن طریق اندرین ولایت نیست
The guide of the path is nothing but divine guidance,
And that path is not in this worldly domain.
کی غم بوسه و کنار خوردهرکه او کوک و کو کنار خورد
How would one worry about kisses and embraces,
If one consumes poppy seeds and wild herbs?
علم دین کان به غفلتی شنوینکند اعتقاد و دینت قوی
The knowledge of religion that you hear in negligence,
Will not make your belief and faith strong.
لالهٔ غفلتی نه ای بندهدل سیه عمر کوته و خنده
You are not a tulip of negligence, O servant—
Dark-hearted, short-lived, yet laughing.
تا بنگذشت عاقل از آتشکی برآید ز جانش خندهٔ خوش
Until the wise man passes through fire,
How can a joyful laugh rise from his soul?
