بخش ۵۵ - در اتّصال بدو گوید / Section 55 - On Union, He Speaks

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چند گویی رسیدگی چه بوددر ره دین گزیدگی چه بود
How long will you ask, 'What is spiritual attainment?'
And 'What is being chosen on the path of religion?'
تا گزنده بوی گزیده نه ایتا درنده بوی رسیده نه ای
As long as you bite, you are not among the chosen;
As long as you tear, you are not among the attained.
بند بر خود نهی گزیده شویپای بر سر نهی رسیده شوی
Bind yourself, and you shall be chosen;
Step on your head (humble yourself), and you shall attain.
آدمی کی بود گزنده چه تودیو و دد کی بود درنده چه تو
When was a human ever a biting creature like you?
When was a demon or wild beast a tearing creature like you?
غافلی سال و ماه مغروریدد و دیوی و ز آدمی دوری
You are heedless, proud all year and month;
You are a beast and a demon, far from being human.
سال و مه کینه جوی همچو پلنگخلق عالم ز طبع تو دلتنگ
Year and month seeking vengeance like a leopard,
The people of the world distressed by your nature.
بر سر شاهراه هیچکسیبرسی در خود و درو نرسی
On the highway of 'no-one' (selflessness),
You will find yourself, but you will not reach Him.
آیتی کرد کوفی از صوفیعشق و رای قریشی و کوفی
The Kufan made a sign out of the Sufi;
The love and opinion of the Qurayshite and the Kufan.
صوفی و عشق و در حدیث هنوزسلب و ایجاب ولایجوز و یجوز
The Sufi and love, yet still in discussion
Of negation and affirmation, and 'impermissible' and 'permissible.'
صوفیان دستها برآوردهکه بلی را بلا بدل کرده
The Sufis have raised their hands,
Having exchanged 'yes' (the primordial covenant) for 'tribulation.'
خاکپاشان حجلهٔ انسشره نشینان حجرهٔ قدسش
Dust-scatterers of the chamber of His intimacy,
Dwellers on the path of His holy chamber.
همه بدرایتان پردهٔ رشکغرقه از پای تا به سر در اشک
All of them, knowers of the curtain of jealousy,
Drowned from head to foot in tears.
همه ارزانیان حلم شدههمه زندانیان علم شده
All of them have become worthy of clemency,
All of them have become prisoners of knowledge.
خویشتن را فرو نه از گردنتا شوی نازنین هر برزن
Cast yourself down from your own neck,
So that you may become beloved in every lane.
دین برون آید ار گنه بنهیسر پدید آید از کله بنهی
Religion will emerge if you lay down sin;
The head will appear if you lay down the hat of pride.
دیدهٔ پاک پاک دین بینددیده چون پاک شد چنین بیند
A pure eye sees pure religion;
When the eye becomes pure, it sees in this way.
خاکسارند باد سارانشتاج دارند تاجدارانش
His proud ones are humble as dust,
His crown-wearers are truly crowned.
از سر این دلق هفت رنگ برآرجامه یک رنگ دار عیسی وار
Cast off this seven-colored dervish cloak from your head;
Keep your garment single-colored, like Jesus,
تا چو عیسی بر آب راه کنیهمره از آفتاب و ماه کنی
So that, like Jesus, you may walk upon water,
And make companions of the sun and the moon.
همهٔ خود ز خویشتن کم کنوآنگه آن دم حدیث آدم کن
Reduce all of your 'self' from yourself,
And only then speak of the state of Adam.
تا بود نفس ذره ای با تونرسی هیچ گونه آنجا تو
As long as the lower self (nafs) is with you even by a speck,
You will not reach that place in any way.
نفس را آن هوا نسازد هیچخیز و بی نفس راه را بپسیچ
That atmosphere does not suit the lower self at all;
Rise and prepare for the path without the self.
