دفتر اول - بخش ۱۳۹ - در صفت پیر و مطاوعت وی / Book One - Section 139 - In Description of the Pir and Obedience to Him

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ای ضیاء الحق حسام الدین بگیریک دو کاغذ بر فزا در وصف پیر
O Radiance of the Real, Husam al-Din, take hold; add one or two sheets in description of the Pir.
گرچه جسم نازکت را زور نیستلیک بی خورشید ما را نور نیست
Though your delicate body has no strength, without the sun we have no light.
گرچه مصباح و زجاجه گشته ایلیک سرخیل دلی سررشته ای
Though you have become lamp and glass, you are the chief of the heart and hold the thread.
چون سر رشته به دست و کام تستدرهای عقد دل ز انعام تست
Since the end of the thread is in your hand and desire, the pearls of the heart’s necklace are from your bounty.
بر نویس احوال پیر راه دانپیر را بگزین و عین راه دان
Write the states of the path-knowing Pir; choose the Pir and know him as the very path.
پیر تابستان و خلقان تیر ماهخلق مانند شبند و پیر ماه
The Pir is summer, and people are the month of Tir; people are like night, and the Pir is the moon.
کرده ام بخت جوان را نام پیرکو ز حق پیرست نه از ایام پیر
I have called young fortune Pir, for he is old through God, not old through days.
او چنان پیرست کش آغاز نیستبا چنان در یتیم انباز نیست
He is such a Pir that he has no beginning; with such a unique pearl there is no partner.
خود قوی تر می شود خمر کهنخاصه آن خمری که باشد من لدن
Old wine grows stronger, especially wine that is from Us.
پیر را بگزین که بی پیر این سفرهست بس پر آفت و خوف و خطر
Choose a Pir, for without a Pir this journey is very full of affliction, fear, and danger.
آن رهی که بارها تو رفته ایبی قلاوز اندر آن آشفته ای
On a road you have traveled many times, without a guide you have been bewildered.
پس رهی را که ندیدستی تو هیچهین مرو تنها ز رهبر سر مپیچ
Then a road you have never seen at all: beware, do not go alone; do not turn your head from the guide.
گر نباشد سایهٔ او بر تو گولپس ترا سرگشته دارد بانگ غول
If his shadow is not over you, fool, then the cry of the ghoul will keep you wandering.
غولت از ره افکند اندر گزنداز تو داهی تر درین ره بس بدند
The ghoul will cast you from the road into harm; many more clever than you have been ruined on this road.
از نبی بشنو ضلال ره روانکه چه شان کرد آن بلیس بدروان
Hear from the Prophet of the wayfarers’ straying, what that evil-running Iblis did to them.
صد هزاران ساله راه از جاده دوربردشان و کردشان ادبیر و عور
He carried them a hundred thousand years’ journey away from the highway and made them unlucky and naked.
استخوانهاشان ببین و مویشانعبرتی گیر و مران خر سویشان
Look at their bones and hair; take warning, and do not drive the donkey toward them.
گردن خر گیر و سوی راه کشسوی ره بانان و ره دانان خوش
Take the donkey by the neck and pull it toward the road, toward the good road-keepers and road-knowers.
هین مهل خر را و دست از وی مدارزانک عشق اوست سوی سبزه زار
Beware, do not leave the donkey; do not take your hand from it, for its love is toward the meadow.
گر یکی دم تو به غفلت وا هلیشاو رود فرسنگها سوی حشیش
If for one moment you let it loose in heedlessness, it will go leagues toward herbage.
دشمن راهست خر مست علفای که بس خر بنده را کرد او تلف
The grass-drunk donkey is the enemy of the road; O you whom that donkey has destroyed as many a servant.
گر ندانی ره هر آنچ خر بخواستعکس آن کن خود بود آن راه راست
If you do not know the road, whatever the donkey wants, do the opposite; that itself will be the right road.
شاوروهن و آنگه خالفواان من لم یعصهن تالف
Consult women, and then oppose them; whoever does not disobey them is ruined.
با هوا و آرزو کم باش دوستچون یضلک عن سبیل الله اوست
Be little a friend to caprice and desire, for it is what leads you astray from the path of God.
این هوا را نشکند اندر جهانهیچ چیزی همچو سایهٔ همرهان
Nothing in the world breaks this caprice like the shadow of fellow travelers.
