متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن شنیدی که تا خلیل چه گفتوقت آتش به جبرئیل نهفت
Did you hear what the Friend (Abraham) said,
When he hid [his state] from Gabriel at the time of the fire?
کرد بیرون سر از دریچهٔ جانکای برادر تو دور شو ز میان
He put his head out from the window of the soul,
Saying, 'O brother, step aside from between [us].'
گفت با جبرئیل اندر سررب یسر کنان در امر عسر
He spoke secretly with Gabriel,
While making 'My Lord, make it easy' in the difficult matter.
گشته از منجنیق حکم رهاگرد گردان چو گوی گرد هوا
Being released from the catapult of decree,
Revolving like a ball in the air.
گفت پس من دلیل راه توامجبرئیلم که نیکخواه توام
[Gabriel] said, 'Then I am the guide of your path;
I am Gabriel who is your well-wisher.'
در چنان حال با نهیب خلیلاز سر اعتماد و حفظ وکیل
In such a state, with the awe of the Friend,
Out of trust and protection of the Guardian (God),
گفت هرچند پایم ای دلبندهست بر گردن ضعیف به بند
[Abraham] said, 'Although my foot, O beloved,
Is bound on the neck of the weak,
دور کن یک زمان ز خویشتنمتا بر او بی تو یک نفس بزنم
Keep yourself away from me for a moment,
So that without you, I may draw a breath with Him.
عصمت او دلیل من نه بس استعلم او جبرئیل من نه بس است
Is His protection not enough of a guide for me?
Is His knowledge not enough of a Gabriel for me?
بی تو بر درگهش تو حاضر شوچشم بردوز و پس تو ناظر شو
Without you, be present at His threshold;
Fix your eyes and then watch.
یکسو اندر حظ خود ز میانتا بیابی تو لذت ایمان
Step aside with your own share from between,
So that you may find the sweetness of faith.'
چون به عشق از چنارت آتش جستآتش از آتشی بدارد دست
When by love, fire leapt from your plane tree,
Fire will withhold its hand from fire.
چون خلیل آن خویشتن بگذاشتآتش از فعل خویش دست بداشت
When the Friend left that self of his,
The fire withheld its hand from its action.
گرچه نمرود آتشی افروختآتشش چون علف نیافت نسوخت
Though Nimrod kindled a fire,
His fire did not burn, as it found no grass.
چون عنان را به دست حکم سپردآتش سی و هشت روزه بمرد
When he surrendered the reins to the hand of decree,
The thirty-eight-day fire died.
بردمید از میان آتش و دودچون صدای ندای حق بشنود
There blossomed from the midst of fire and smoke,
When he heard the sound of the call of Truth,
عبهر عهد و سوسن تحقیقسنبل سنت و گل توفیق
The narcissus of the covenant and the lily of realization,
The hyacinth of the tradition and the rose of success.
آری آری چو دوست آن باشدنار نمرود بوستان باشد
Yes, yes, when the Friend is that,
The fire of Nimrod becomes a garden.
