متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

رونقی کان دین پیغامبر گرفتاز امیرمؤمنان حیدر گرفت
The splendor that the religion of the Prophet received,
It received from the Commander of the Faithful, Haydar.
چون امیر نحل شیر فحل شدز آهن او سنگ موم نحل شد
Since the Prince of Bees became a courageous lion,
By his iron, stone became beeswax.
میر نحل از دست و جان خویش بودزانکه علمش نوش وتیغش نیش بود
He was the Prince of Bees by his own hand and soul,
For his knowledge was nectar and his sword was a sting.
گفت اگر در رویم آید صد سپاهکس نبیند پشت من در حرب گاه
He said, "If a hundred armies come against me,
No one will see my back on the battlefield."
روستم گر اهل و گر نااهل بودچون ز زالی یافت مردی سهل بود
Rustam, whether he was worthy or unworthy,
Since he found manliness from Zal, it was easy.
مردی او از خدای لایزالوان رستم یا ز دستان یا ز زال
His (Ali's) manliness was from the Eternal God,
And that of Rustam was either from Dastan or Zal.
شیر حق با تیغ حق دین پروریهمچو زال و رستم دستان گری
The Lion of Truth, with the sword of truth, nurtures religion,
Acting like Zal and Rustam of Dastan.
او دو مغز است از حسین و از حسنبل دو مغز است او ازین هر دو سخن
He has two kernels, Husayn and Hasan,
Nay, he has two kernels from both of these words.
لافتی الا علیش از مصطفاستوز خداوند جهانش هل اتی است
"There is no youth but Ali" is his from Mustafa,
And from the Lord of the World, "Hal Ata" is his.
ازدو دستش لافتی آمد پدیدوز سه قرصش هل اتی آمد پدید
From his two hands, "There is no youth" appeared,
And from his three loaves of bread, "Hal Ata" appeared.
آن سه قرص او چون بیرون شد براهسرنگون آمد دو قرص مهر و ماه
When those three loaves of his went out on the way,
The two discs of the sun and moon were humbled.
چون نبی موسی علی هارون بودگر برادرشان نگوئی چون بود
Since the Prophet was Moses, Ali was Aaron;
If you do not call them brothers, how would it be?
هر دو هم تخماند و هم دم آمدهموسی و هارون همدم آمده
Both are of the same seed and have become companions,
Moses and Aaron have become companions.
او چو قلب آل یاسین آمدستقلب قران یا و سین زین آمدست
Since he has come as the heart of the family of Yasin,
The heart of the Quran, Ya and Sin, has come from this.
قلب قرآن قلب پر قرآن اوستوال من والاه اندر شأن اوست
The heart of the Quran is his heart full of the Quran,
"Befriend him who befriends him" is in his honor.
ناقة الله بود در سنگ ای عجبسنگ شق شد ناقه آمد در طلب
The She-Camel of God was in the stone, O wonder!
The stone split open and the she-camel came seeking.
چون علی فزت و رب الکعبه گفتناقة الله شیر حق را بر گرفت
When Ali said, "By the Lord of the Kaaba, I have succeeded!"
The She-Camel of God took up the Lion of Truth.
گر بحق میگوئی الحق بود خوشاشتر حق شیر حق را بارکش
If you speak truly, indeed it was fitting:
The Camel of Truth carrying the Lion of Truth.
گر شتر شد ریسمانی در دهنبا حسین طفل از خلق حسن
If he became a camel with a rope in his mouth,
With the child Husayn, out of good character;
آنکه اشتر گشت از بهر پسراو فرستاد اشتر از بهر پدر
He who became a camel for the sake of the son,
He (God) sent a camel for the sake of the father.
اشتر حق کشته اشقی الاولینشیر حق را کشته اشقی الاخرین
The Camel of Truth was killed by the most wretched of the former ones,
The Lion of Truth was killed by the most wretched of the latter ones.
