متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ای ظهور تو با بطون دمسازوی بروز تو با کمون همراز
O You whose manifestation is harmonious with hiddenness,
And O You whose emergence is intimate with concealment.
احدی لیک مرجع اعدادواحدی لیک مجمع اضداد
You are Unique, yet the reference of all numbers;
You are One, yet the gatherer of opposites.
اولی و تو را بدایت نیآخری و تو را نهایت نی
You are the First, and You have no beginning;
You are the Last, and You have no end.
ظاهری با کمال یکتاییباطنی با وفور پیدایی
You are apparent with the perfection of oneness;
You are hidden with an abundance of visibility.
ایمنی از تغیر و تبدیلفارغی از تحیز و تحویل
You are secure from change and alteration;
You are free from localization and transformation.
ذات تو در سرادقات جلالاز ازل تا ابد به یک منوال
Your essence in the pavilions of majesty,
From eternity without beginning to eternity without end, is in one manner.
بر تو کس نیست آمر و ناهیهمه آن می کنی که می خواهی
Over You there is no commander or forbidder;
You do whatever You wish.
نه عطای تو را خطا مانعنه بلای تو را ولادافع
Neither does error prevent Your gift,
Nor does devotion repel Your affliction.
بر خطا پیشگان عطای تو دامبا ولاشیوگان بلای تو کام
For the wrongdoers, Your gift is a trap;
With the devoted, Your affliction is a fulfillment.
دام چه بود فریب جاه و جمالکام چه بود نوید قرب و وصال
What is the trap? The deception of rank and beauty.
What is the fulfillment? The promise of proximity and union.
ای جهانی به کام از در توکام خواهم نه دام از در تو
O You, by whose door a world has achieved its fulfillment,
I seek fulfillment, not a trap, from Your door.
دمبدم در رهم منه دامیتا پی کام خود زنم گامی
Do not place a trap in my path moment by moment,
So that I may take a step towards my fulfillment.
به جوار خودم رهی بنمایدر حریم دلم دری بگشای
Show me a path to Your own proximity,
Open a door in the sanctuary of my heart.
غایب از من مرا حضوری بخشبه سروری رسان و نوری بخش
Absent from myself, grant me a presence;
Bring me to joy and grant a light.
ای بس آتش پرست باد به دستکرده عمری به خاک دیر نشست
O how many a fire-worshipper with wind in hand (empty-handed),
Has spent a lifetime sitting in the dust of the temple,
بوده با هیمه سالها همپشتتا برافروزد آتش زردشت
Has been back-to-back with firewood for years,
To kindle the fire of Zoroaster,
کرده در خدمت مغان هر دمقد چو عودالصلیب ترسا خم
Has bent his stature every moment in the service of the Magi,
Like the cross of the Christian.
رویش از آتش کنشت سیاهخویش از فعلهای زشت تباه
His face black from the fire of the temple,
Himself ruined by ugly deeds.
نه همین روی و رای تیره ازوپای تا سر به یک وتیره ازو
Not only his face and mind dark from it,
From head to foot in one manner from it.
ناگهان برق رحمتی جستهدلش از کفر و تیرگی رسته
Suddenly a lightning of mercy has struck,
His heart freed from infidelity and darkness.
گشته با جذبه عنایت خاصمرغ جانش ز دام شرک خلاص
Become, with the attraction of special grace,
The bird of his soul released from the trap of polytheism.
گرچه هستم به قید هستی بندهم به تو بر تو می دهم سوگند
Although I am bound in the fetters of existence,
I swear to You by You,
که مرا آنچنان یکی انگاردر دلم ظلمت شکی مگذار
That consider me as one such person,
Do not leave the darkness of a doubt in my heart.
رخت در دار ملک دینم نهجای در کشور یقینم ده
Place my baggage in the abode of the kingdom of religion,
Give me a place in the country of certainty.
هر چه غیر از تو زان نفورم کنپای تا فرق غرق نورم کن
Make me averse to whatever is other than You,
Drown me in light from foot to crown.
دیده ای ده سزای دیدارتجانی آرام جای اسرارت
Give me eyes worthy of Your sight,
A soul as a resting place for Your secrets.
چند باشم ز خود پرستی خویشبند در تنگنای هستی خویش
How long shall I be from my own self-worship,
Bound in the narrowness of my own existence?
وارهانم ز ننگ این تنگیبرسانم به رنگ بیرنگی
Deliver me from the disgrace of this narrowness,
Bring me to the color of colorlessness.
می پرد مرغ همتم گستاخدر ریاض امید شاخ به شاخ
The bird of my ambition flies audaciously,
In the gardens of hope from branch to branch,
که ز بام تو دانه ای چینمیا ز نامت نشانه ای بینم
That I may pick a seed from Your roof,
Or see a sign of Your name.
پیش ازان کز جهان ببندم بارز افسر فقر سربلندم دار
Before I pack my bags from the world,
Keep me head-high with the crown of poverty.
سوی تو بارها شتافته امبار جز بار دل نیافته ام
Towards You I have hastened many times,
I have found no burden but the burden of the heart.
چون شد از بار دل گرانم پشتحلقه شد چون دم سگانم پشت
Since my back became heavy from the burden of the heart,
My back became curled like the tail of dogs.
خود گرفتم که از سگان بترممکن از حلقه سگان بدرم
I assumed myself that I am worse than dogs,
Do not drive me out from the circle of dogs.
من که باشم که با تو در بن غارهمچو اصحاب کهف باشم یار
Who am I to be with You in the depth of the cave,
A companion like the Companions of the Cave?
کی خورم باک اگر نشینم پساز صف دوستان نه اینم بس
When would I fear if I sit behind,
From the row of friends, is this not enough for me,
که چو سگ گرچه پر شر و شینمبر درت باسط الذراعینم
That like a dog, although I am full of evil and disgrace,
I am stretching my forelegs at Your door.
بود عمرم سفید طوماریدر کف همچو من سیه کاری
My life was a white scroll,
In the hand of a black-doer like me.
از برای سواد آن نامهدل من محبره زبان خامه
For the blackening of that letter,
My heart was the inkwell, my tongue the pen.
روزگاری در آن قلم زده اماز خطا و خلل رقم زده ام
For a time I have wielded the pen in it,
I have inscribed from error and flaw.
کس نیابد در او نبشته خطیکه نه در ضمن آن بود سخطی
No one will find a written line in it,
That does not contain a displeasure within it.
نیست حرفی در او مصون ز عوجچون الف بلکه کاف وش همه کج
There is not a letter in it safe from crookedness,
Like Aleph? Nay, all crooked like Kaf.
ای که پیش تو راز پنهانمآشکار است تا به کی خوانم
O You before whom my hidden secret
Is manifest, until when shall I read
بر تو این نامه پریشانیچون تو حرفا به حرف می دانی
To You this letter of distress,
When You know it letter by letter?
چون کند دست قهرمان اجلطی این نامه خطا و خلل
When the hand of the champion of death
Rolls up this letter of error and flaw,
ز آب عفوش ورق بشوی نخستپس به کلک کرم که در کف توست
First wash its page with the water of His forgiveness,
Then with the pen of generosity that is in Your hand,
بهر آزادیم برات نویسوز خطاها خط نجات نویس
Write a draft for my freedom,
And write a line of salvation from errors.
مپسندم ازان صحیفه خجلیوم نطوی السما کطی سجل
Do not approve of my shame from that page,
"The day We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet."
