متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

قصهٔ اصحاب ضروان خوانده ای	پس چرا در حیله جویی مانده ای
You have read the story of the people of Darwan; why, then, are you still caught up in seeking stratagems?
حیله می کردند کزدم نیش چند	که برند از روزی درویش چند
They were scheming out of their treachery to take something from the provision of some dervishes.
شب همه شب می سگالیدند مکر	روی در رو کرده چندین عمرو و بکر
All night long they pondered deceit, face to face, many an Amr and Bakr.
خفیه می گفتند سرها آن بدان	تا نباید که خدا در یابد آن
In secret each told secrets to the other, as though God must not find them out.
با گل انداینده اسگالید گل	دست کاری می کند پنهان ز دل
Clay schemed against the clay-shaper; the hand tries to do a deed hidden from the heart.
گفت الا یعلم هواک من خلق	ان فی نجواک صدقا ام ملق
He said: Does He who created not know your desire, whether in your private talk there is sincerity or flattery?
گفت یغفل عن ظعین قد غدا	من یعاین این مثواه غدا
He said: Is He heedless of a traveler who has set out, He who sees where his lodging will be tomorrow?
اینما قد هبطا او صعدا	قد تولاه و احصی عددا
Wherever he has descended or ascended, He has watched over him and counted all.
گوش را اکنون ز غفلت پاک کن	استماع هجر آن غمناک کن
Now cleanse the ear of heedlessness; listen to the sorrowful one's tale of separation.
آن زکاتی دان که غمگین را دهی	گوش را چون پیش دستانش نهی
Count that as alms given to the grieving one, when you set your ear before his tale.
بشنوی غمهای رنجوران دل	فاقهٔ جان شریف از آب و گل
You will hear the griefs of the heart-sick, the noble soul's want within water and clay.
خانهٔ پر دود دارد پر فنی	مر ورا بگشا ز اصغا روزنی
He has a smoke-filled house, full of affliction; through listening, open a window for him.
گوش تو او را چو راه دم شود	دود تلخ از خانهٔ او کم شود
When your ear becomes a breathing passage for him, the bitter smoke in his house will lessen.
غمگساری کن تو با ما ای روی	گر به سوی رب اعلی می روی
Share grief with us, O you who are going, if you are going toward the Lord Most High.
این تردد حبس و زندانی بود	که بنگذارد که جان سویی رود
This wavering is confinement and prison, which will not let the soul go in one direction.
این بدین سو آن بدان سو می کشد	هر یکی گویا منم راه رشد
This pulls this way, that pulls that way; each says, I am the path of guidance.
این تردد عقبهٔ راه حقست	ای خنک آن را که پایش مطلقست
This wavering is a pass on the road of Truth; blessed is the one whose foot is free.
بی تردد می رود در راه راست	ره نمی دانی بجو گامش کجاست
Without wavering he goes on the straight road; if you do not know the road, seek where his footprint is.
گام آهو را بگیر و رو معاف	تا رسی از گام آهو تا به ناف
Take the gazelle's track and go unharmed, until from the gazelle's track you reach the musk-navel.
زین روش بر اوج انور می روی	ای برادر گر بر آذر می روی
By this way you ascend to the luminous height, brother, even if you are going through fire.
نه ز دریا ترس نه از موج و کف	چون شنیدی تو خطاب لا تخف
Fear neither the sea nor wave and foam, since you have heard the address Do not fear.
لا تخف دان چونک خوفت داد حق	نان فرستد چون فرستادت طبق
Understand Do not fear thus: when God has given you fear, He sends bread as He has sent you the tray.
خوف آن کس راست کاو را خوف نیست	غصه آن کس را کش اینجا طوف نیست
Fear belongs to the one who has no fear; grief belongs to the one who has no circling devotion here.
