بخش ۲۷ - تمثیل / Section 27 - The Allegory

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

یاد دار این سخن از آن بیدارمرد این راه حیدر کرار
Remember this saying of that awakened one,
The man of this path, Haydar the Repeated-Attacker:
فاعبد الرب فی الصلوة تراهور نباشی چنین تو وا غوثاه
"Worship the Lord in prayer as if you see Him;
And if you are not thus, then oh, help!"
آنچنانش پرست در کونینکه همی بینیش به رأی العین
Worship Him in both worlds in such a way
That you see Him with your own eyes.
گرچه چشمت ورا نمی بیندخالق تو ترا همی بیند
Even though your eye does not see Him,
Your Creator indeed sees you.
ذکر جز در ره مجاهده نیستذکر در مجلس مشاهده نیست
Remembrance is nowhere but on the path of struggle;
Remembrance has no place in the assembly of witnessing.
رهبرت اول ارچه یاد بودرسد آنجا که یاد باد بود
Though your guide at first was remembrance,
It reaches a point where remembrance is like wind.
زانکه غواص از درون بحارآب جوید کشد هم آبش زار
For the diver inside the seas
Seeks water, and yet the water overwhelms him.
فاخته غایبست گوید کوتو اگر حاضری چه گویی هو
The ringdove is absent, saying "Where is He?"
If you are present, why do you say "He"?
حاضران را ز هیبت است منالگر ترا حصه غیب است بنال
Those who are present do not lament, due to awe;
If your portion is absence, then lament.
نالهٔ شوق فاخته بشنوحالت و ذوق ساخته به دو جو
Hear the ringdove's lament of yearning,
Buy its prepared state and taste for two barley-grains.
کانکه خشنودی احد جویدنور توحید در لحد جوید
For he who seeks the pleasure of the One
Seeks the light of unity in the grave.
لحدش روضهٔ بهشت شوددر دو چشمش بهشت زشت شود
His grave becomes a garden of Paradise,
In his eyes, Paradise becomes ugly.
حاضر آنگه شوی که در مأمنحاضر دل بوی نه حاضر تن
You will become present only when, in the sanctuary,
You are present in heart, not present in body.
تا در این خطهٔ تکاپویییا همه پشت یا همه رویی
As long as you are in this domain of striving,
You are either all back or all face.
چون ازاین خطه یک دو خطوط رفتجان طالب عنان عشق گرفت
When a line or two has gone from this domain,
The seeker's soul takes the reins of love.
هرکه شد لحظه ای ز خود خشنودسالها بند شد به آتش و دود
Whoever becomes pleased with themselves for a moment,
Was bound for years to fire and smoke.
کی بدین اصل و منصب ارزانی استجز کسی کس سر مسلمانیست
Who is worthy of this essence and rank,
Except the one who has the desire for true submission?
عشق و آهنگ آن جهان کردنشرط نبود حدیث جان کردن
To love and set out for that world,
It is not a condition to talk of life.
مردگی جهل و زندگی دینستهرچه گفتند مغز آن اینست
Dying is ignorance, and living is religion;
Whatever they said, the essence of it is this.
آن کسانی که مرد این راهنداز غم جان و دل نه آگاهند
Those who are the men of this path,
Are unaware of the grief of life and heart.
چون گذشتی ز عالم تک و پویچشمهٔ زندگانی آنجا جوی
When you pass from the world of running and striving,
Seek the fountain of life there.
