متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

امام اهل دین سلطان اولامیرالمؤمنین صدیق افضل
The leader of the people of religion, the first sovereign,
The Commander of the Faithful, the most excellent Siddiq.
ولی عهد سپهر صدق صدیقخلافت را ولی او بود بتحقیق
The successor of the sphere of truthfulness, the Siddiq,
He was, in truth, the rightful master of the Caliphate.
چو یافت از فقر پیغمبر نسیمیهمه در باخت جز هیچ و گلیمی
When he caught a scent of the Prophet's spiritual poverty,
He surrendered everything, keeping nothing but a simple blanket.
نبود از معرفت پروای گفتشازینجا کن قیاس خورد و خفتش
From deep gnosis, he had no concern for speech;
From this, you can measure his eating and sleeping.
شبانروزی خموشی پیشهٔ اوورای هر دو کون اندیشهٔ او
Day and night, silence was his practice,
And his thoughts were beyond both worlds.
خلافت را نخست او لایق آمدکه صدیقست و صبحش صادق آمد
He was the first who proved worthy of the Caliphate,
For he is the Siddiq, and his dawn arose true.
خلافت را اگر کس صبح دیدیکه بودی پیش او کاذب دمیدی
If anyone saw the Caliphate as the morning,
Before him, the false dawn would have breathed its last.
چودر عالم دمید آن صبح انوارکواکب رنگ او گیرند هموار
When that morning of lights shone upon the world,
The stars constantly took on its hue.
چو اصحابش کواکب را مثالندبنور صبح همرنگ از کمالند
Since his companions are like stars,
They are of the same color as the morning light in their perfection.
ز نور او موحد شد مقربکه در صبحست همرنگی کوکب
Through his light, the monotheist became close to God,
For in the morning, the star is of the same color.
ولی آن صبح صادق را بتحقیقنمیداند کسی مانند صدیق
Yet, in truth, no one knows anyone
Who is like the Siddiq to that true dawn.
بنور صبح صدیقست لایقکه آنها کوکبند او صبح صادق
The Siddiq is worthy of the morning light,
For while they are stars, he is the true morning.
پس اینجا تو یقین دان کانکه هستندبنور صبح صادق حق پرستند
Therefore, know for certain here that those who exist
And worship the Truth, do so by the light of the true morning.
نبی گفته ست اگر ایمان صدیقبسنجد آنکه از ایمان بتحقیق
The Prophet has said that if the faith of the Siddiq
Were weighed in truth against the faith [of others],
از ایمان خلایق بیش آیدپس آن بهتر که اول پیش آید
It would outweigh the faith of all creation;
So it is best that he who is foremost comes first.
چو ابراهیم امت را پدر بودبصدیقیش قرآن جلوه گر بود
Just as Abraham was the father of the nation,
His truthfulness was made manifest by the Quran.
چو افضل آمد و دین را پدر شدلقب صدیق یافت و نامور شد
Since he became the most excellent and the father of the faith,
He received the title of Siddiq and became renowned.
