دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۳۶ - باز جواب انبیا علیهم السلام ایشان را / Book Three - Section 136 - Again the Answer of the Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them) to Them

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

انبیا گفتند نومیدی بدستفضل و رحمتهای باری بی حدست
The Prophets said: Despair is bad —
The grace and mercies of the Lord are without limit.
از چنین محسن نشاید ناامیددست در فتراک این رحمت زنید
From such a Benefactor, despair is unworthy;
Clutch the saddle-strap of this mercy.
ای بسا کارا که اول صعب گشتبعد از آن بگشاده شد سختی گذشت
How many a matter that was hard at first
Afterward opened up, and hardship passed away.
بعد نومیدی بسی اومیدهاستاز پس ظلمت بسی خورشیدهاست
After despair there are many hopes;
After darkness there are many suns.
خود گرفتم که شما سنگین شدیتقفلها بر گوش و بر دل بر زدیت
Suppose I grant that you have grown hardened,
That you have set locks upon your ears and hearts.
هیچ ما را با قبولی کار نیستکار ما تسلیم و فرمان کردنیست
We have no concern with your acceptance;
Our business is submission and obedience to command.
او بفرمودستمان این بندگینیست ما را از خود این گویندگی
He has commanded us this servitude;
This speaking is not from ourselves.
جان برای امر او داریم ماگر به ریگی گوید او کاریم ما
We hold our souls for His command;
If He bids us sow in sand, we sow.
غیر حق جان نبی را یار نیستبا قبول و رد خلقش کار نیست
None but God is the companion of the prophet's soul;
He has no concern with the acceptance or rejection of creatures.
مزد تبلیغ رسالاتش ازوستزشت و دشمن رو شدیم از بهر دوست
The reward for conveying His messages comes from Him;
We became ugly and enemy-faced for the sake of the Friend.
ما برین درگه ملولان نیستیمتا ز بعد راه هر جا بیستیم
We are not wearied ones at this threshold,
That we should halt anywhere along the road thereafter.
دل فرو بسته و ملول آنکس بودکز فراق یار در محبس بود
The one whose heart is constricted and weary
Is he who is imprisoned in separation from the Beloved.
دلبر و مطلوب با ما حاضرستدر نثار رحمتش جان شاکرست
The Beloved and the Object of desire is present with us;
The soul is grateful amid the gift-scattering of His mercy.
در دل ما لاله زار و گلشنیستپیری و پژمردگی را راه نیست
In our hearts is a field of tulips and a rose garden;
There is no way in for old age and withering.
دایما تر و جوانیم و لطیفتازه و شیرین و خندان و ظریف
We are ever fresh and young and tender,
New and sweet and laughing and refined.
پیش ما صد سال و یکساعت یکیستکه دراز و کوته از ما منفکیست
To us, a hundred years and one hour are one,
For length and brevity are severed from us.
آن دراز و کوتهی در جسمهاستآن دراز و کوته اندر جان کجاست
That length and shortness belongs to bodies;
Where is length and shortness in the soul?
سیصد و نه سال آن اصحاب کهفپیششان یک روز بی اندوه و لهف
Three hundred and nine years — for the People of the Cave (Aṣḥāb-i Kahf)
It was one day, free of grief and distress.
وانگهی بنمودشان یک روز همکه به تن باز آمد ارواح از عدم
And then it showed them one day more,
When souls returned to the body from non-existence.
چون نباشد روز و شب یا ماه و سالکی بود سیری و پیری و ملال
When there is neither day and night nor month and year,
How can there be satiety, old age, or tedium?
در گلستان عدم چون بی خودیستمستی از سغراق لطف ایزدیست
In the garden of non-existence, since there is self-abandonment,
The intoxication comes from the cup of divine grace.
لم یذق لم یدر هر کس کو نخوردکی بوهم آرد جعل انفاس ورد
"He who has not tasted does not know" (lam yadhūq lam yadri) — whoever has not drunk,
How can a dung-beetle conceive of the fragrance of roses?
نیست موهوم ار بدی موهوم آنهمچو موهومان شدی معدوم آن
It is not imaginary; were it imaginary,
It would have become non-existent, like imagined things.
دوزخ اندر وهم چون آرد بهشتهیچ تابد روی خوب از خوک زشت
How can Hell bring Paradise to mind?
Does a fair face ever shine from an ugly pig?
هین گلوی خود مبر هان ای مهاناین چنین لقمه رسیده تا دهان
Take heed — do not cut your own throat, O nobles;
Such a morsel has reached all the way to your mouth.
راههای صعب پایان برده ایمره بر اهل خویش آسان کرده ایم
We have carried difficult roads to their end;
We have made the way easy for our own people.
