بخش ۶۲ - حکایت در حقیقت تصوّف / Section 62 - Tale on the Truth of Sufism

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

صوفیی از عراق با خبریبه خراسان رسید زی دگری
A knowledgeable Sufi from Iraq
arrived in Khorasan to visit another.
گفت شیخا طریقتان بر چیستپیرتان این زمان نگویی کیست
He said, 'O Sheikh, what is your path based on?
Won't you tell me who your elder is at this time?
راه و آیینتان مرا بنمایدرج درت به پیش من بگشای
Show me your path and custom,
open the casket of your pearls before me.
چیست آیین و رسم و راه شمابه که باشد همه پناه شما
What is the custom, rule, and way of yours?
In whom is all your refuge?'
آن خراسانی این دگر را گفتای شده با همه مرادی جفت
That Khorasani said to the other,
'O you who are paired with every desire:
آن نصیبی که اندر آن سخنیمبخوریم آن نصیب و شکر کنیم
That portion of which we speak,
we eat that portion and give thanks;
ور نیابیم جمله صبر کنیمآرزو را به دل درون شکنیم
And if we do not find it, we completely endure with patience,
we break our desires within the heart.'
گفت مرد عراقی ای سره مرداین چنین صوفیی نشاید کرد
The Iraqi man said, 'O excellent man,
one should not practice such Sufism.
کین چنین صوفیی بی ایماناندر اقلیم ما کنند سگان
For such faithless Sufism
is practiced by the dogs in our clime:
چون بیابند استخوان بخورندورنه صابر بوند و درگذرند
When they find a bone, they eat it,
and otherwise, they are patient and pass it by.'
گفت بر گوی تا شما چکنیدکه به دل دور از انده و حزنید
He said, 'Tell me, what do you do,
that in your heart you are far from grief and sorrow?'
گفت ما چون بود کنیم ایثارور نباشد به شکر و استغفار
He said, 'When we have, we make a sacrifice [give it away],
and if there is none, with thanks and asking forgiveness
هم براین گونه روز بگذاریمبوده نابوده رفته انگاریم
We spend the day in this manner,
we consider what has been and what hasn't been as passed away.
راه ما این بود که بشنودیاین چنین شو که هم تو(تو هم که) برسودی
Our path is what you have heard;
become like this so that you too may profit.'
