متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

سوی مکه شیخ امت بایزیداز برای حج و عمره می دوید
The sheikh of the community, Bayazid,
was hurrying toward Mecca for Hajj and Umra.
او به هر شهری که رفتی از نخستمر عزیزان را بکردی بازجست
In every city he entered, from the outset
he would seek out the venerable ones.
گرد می گشتی که اندر شهر کیستکو بر ارکان بصیرت متکیست
He would go around asking, 'Who is there in this city
who rests on the pillars of inner sight?'
گفت حق اندر سفر هر جا رویباید اول طالب مردی شوی
The Real said: wherever you travel,
first you must become a seeker of a true man.
قصد گنجی کن که این سود و زیاندر تبع آید تو آن را فرع دان
Set your aim on the treasure; this profit and loss
comes as a consequence, so regard it as secondary.
هر که کارد قصد گندم باشدشکاه خود اندر تبع می آیدش
Whoever sows has wheat as his aim;
the straw comes along of itself as a consequence.
که بکاری بر نیاید گندمیمردمی جو مردمی جو مردمی
If you sow straw, no wheat will come up:
seek true humanity, seek true humanity, seek true humanity.
قصد کعبه کن چو وقت حج بودچونک رفتی مکه هم دیده شود
Aim for the Ka'ba when it is the time of Hajj;
when you go, Mecca too will be seen.
قصد در معراج دید دوست بوددرتبع عرش و ملایک هم نمود
The aim in the Mi'raj was the sight of the Friend;
the Throne and the angels were also shown alongside it as a consequence.
