دفتر سوم - بخش ۷۴ - کرامات شیخ اقطع و زنبیل بافتن او بدو دست / Book Three - Section 74 - The Miracles of the Maimed Sheikh and His Weaving of Baskets with Both Hands

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

در عریش او را یکی زایر بیافتکو بهر دو دست می زنبیل بافت
In his bower a pilgrim found him,
weaving baskets with both hands.
گفت او را ای عدو جان خویشدر عریشم آمده سر کرده پیش
He said to him: O enemy of your own soul,
you have come into my bower, thrusting your head forward.
این چراکردی شتاب اندر سباقگفت از افراط مهر و اشتیاق
Why did you hasten so in this race?
He said: From excess of love and longing.
پس تبسم کرد و گفت اکنون بیالیک مخفی دار این را ای کیا
Then he smiled and said: Now come in,
but keep this hidden, O noble one.
تا نمیرم من مگو این با کسینه قرینی نه حبیبی نه خسی
Until I die, tell this to no one—
not a companion, not a beloved, not a nobody.
بعد از آن قومی دگر از روزنشمطلع گشتند بر بافیدنش
After that, another group through his window
became aware of his weaving.
گفت حکمت را تو دانی کردگارمن کنم پنهان تو کردی آشکار
He said: You know the wisdom, O Creator—
I conceal it, yet You revealed it.
آمد الهامش که یکچندی بدندکه درین غم بر تو منکر می‌شدند
Inspiration came to him: There were some for a time
who in this grief were denying you,
که مگر سالوس بود او در طریقکه خدا رسواش کرد اندر فریق
saying: Perhaps he was a hypocrite on the Path,
and so God disgraced him before the crowd.
من نخواهم کان رمه کافر شونددر ضلالت در گمان بد روند
I do not want that flock to become unbelievers,
to go astray in error and ill-thinking.
این کرامت را بکردیم آشکارکه دهیمت دست اندر وقت کار
We made this karāmat manifest
to give you a hand in the hour of need,
تا که آن بیچارگان بد گمانرد نگردند از جناب آسمان
so that those wretched ill-thinking ones
may not be turned away from the threshold of Heaven.
من ترا بی این کرامتها ز پیشخود تسلی دادمی از ذات خویش
I would have consoled you before this, without these karāmāt,
from My own Essence.
این کرامت بهر ایشان دادمتوین چراغ از بهر آن بنهادمت
This karāmat I gave you for their sake,
and I placed this lamp for that reason.
تو از آن بگذشته‌ای کز مرگ تنترسی وز تفریق اجزای بدن
You have passed beyond fearing the death of the body
and the scattering of the body's limbs.
وهم تفریق سر و پا از تو رفتدفع وهم اسپر رسیدت نیک زفت
The illusion of the separation of head and foot has departed from you;
the shield against illusion has reached you, mighty and firm.
