متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

سپهر معرفت خورشید انورامیرالمؤمنین کرار صفدر
The sphere of gnosis, the luminous sun,
The Commander of the Faithful, the repeated charger, the breaker of ranks.
امام مطلق ارباب بینشبدانش آفتاب آفرینش
The absolute Imam of the masters of insight,
In knowledge, the sun of creation.
چو او شیر حق آمد داغ حق داشتبمردی و جوانمردی سبق داشت
Since he was the Lion of God, he bore the mark of God,
In courage and chivalry, he took the lead.
اسد چون خانهٔ خورشید باشدعلی کالشمس ازو جاوید باشد
When Leo is the house of the sun,
Ali, like the sun, shall be eternal because of it.
چو اصل اهل بیت افتاد حیدربلی بایست شهر علم رادر
Since Haidar was the origin of the Household,
Indeed, the city of knowledge required a gate.
چو شهر علم دین پیغمبر آمداگر بابیست آن را حیدر آمد
Since the Prophet is the city of the knowledge of religion,
If there is a gate to it, it is Haidar.
چو بیت آفتاب ذوالجلالستگرش شیر خدا خوانی حلالست
Since he is the house of the sun of the Lord of Majesty,
If you call him the Lion of God, it is lawful.
چنین گفت او که در دین حق تعالیمرا دادست در علم آن کمالی
He said thus: 'In the religion of God the Almighty,
He has given me such perfection in knowledge,
که گردرباء بسم الله ز اسرارکنم تضیف بیش از ده شتروار
That if, from the secrets of the letter Ba of Bismillah,
I write a commentary, it would load more than ten camels.
بهر حرف از کلام صانع پاککنم هر دم هزاران معنی ادراک
From every letter of the speech of the Pure Creator,
I perceive thousands of meanings at every moment.'
چو دنیا را طلاقی داد جانشمگر انگشتری ماند از آنش
When his soul divorced the world,
Only a ring remained to him of it.
خداوندش یکی سایل فرستادکه آمد در نمازش پیش، استاد
His Lord sent a beggar to him,
Who stood before him while he was in prayer.
که در دین تو دنیا بند جانستتو میدانی که این خاتم از آنست
[Saying] 'In your religion, the world is a shackle to the soul,
You know that this signet ring is of the world.'
چو شد زین سر عالی سرفراز اوبسایل داد خاتم در نماز او
Since he was exalted by this sublime secret,
He gave the ring to the beggar while in his prayer.
نمازش را چو خاتم در نگنجیدبجز حق ذرهیی هم درنگنجید
Since a ring could not be contained in his prayer,
Not a single atom other than God was contained therein.
نمازش چون حضوری معتبر داشتکی از پیکان برون کردن خبر داشت
Since his prayer possessed a verified presence,
How could he have been aware of the pulling out of the arrow-head?
کسی کو در حقیقت تشنه جانستکه کلی سیر از کار جهانست
Whoever is truly thirsty in soul,
And entirely sated with the affairs of the world,
اگر آبیش میباید که جان خوردز دست ساقی کوثر توان خورد
If he needs water for his soul to drink,
He can drink it from the hand of the Cupbearer of Kauthar.
عزیزی کو دو چشم راه بین داشتسه روح ازچاریار راستین داشت
The beloved one who had two path-seeing eyes,
Had three spirits from the four true companions.
ترا از زهر بدعت گر گزندستهمین تریاق اربع سودمندست
If you suffer harm from the poison of heresy,
This fourfold antidote is highly beneficial.
