(۳) حکایت گفتار پیغامبر در طفل نوزاد / (3) The Tale of the Prophet's Saying about the Newborn Child

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چنین گفته ست با یاران پیمبرکه آن طفلی که می زاید زمادر
Thus did the Prophet speak to his companions:
'The infant who is born of a mother,
چو بر روی زمین افکنده گرددبغایت عاجز و گرینده گردد
When it is cast down upon the earth,
Becomes exceedingly helpless and crying.
ولی چون روشنی این جهان دیدفراخی زمین و آسمان دید
But when it beholds the light of this world,
And sees the vastness of the earth and sky,
نخواهد او رحم هرگز دگر بارنگردد نیز در ظلمت گرفتار
It will never desire the womb once more,
Nor will it ever again be trapped in darkness.
کسی کز بند این تنگ آشیان رفتبصحرای فراخ آن جهان رفت
He who departs from the bond of this narrow nest,
Goes forth to the vast plain of the next world.
بعینه حال آن کس همچنانستکه او را از رحم قصد جهانست
Indeed, the state of that person is exactly the same,
As one who intends to leave the womb for the world.
چنان کان طفل آمد در جهانینخواهد با شکم رفتن زمانی
Just as that child came into a world,
And would never wish to return to the womb for a moment,
ز دنیا هر که سوی آن جهان شدبگفتم حال طفلت همچنان شد
Whoever departs from this world to the other world,
I have said, the state of your child is exactly like that.
دلا چون نیست جانت این جهانیبر آتش نه جهان گر مرد جانی
O heart, since your soul is not of this world,
Set this world on fire if you are a person of soul.
اگر قلبت نخواهد برد ره پیشچگونه ره بری در قالب خویش
If your heart cannot show you the way forward,
How will you lead the way within your own form?
که گر راهی به پیشان می توان بردیقین می دان که از جان می توان برد
For if any path can be traversed to those who went before,
Know for certain that it can only be done through the soul.
درون دیر دل خلوتگهی سازوزان خلوة به سوی حق رهی ساز
Within the temple of the heart, build a sanctuary,
And from that sanctuary, make a path toward the Truth.
اگر کاری کنی همرنگ جان کنمکن آن بر سر چوبی، نهان کن
If you perform a deed, make it of the color of the soul;
Do not display it on the tip of a pole, keep it hidden.
تو گر جامه بگردانی روا نیستکه او دوزد، بدست تو قبا نیست
If you merely change your garment, it is not fitting,
For it is He who sews, the cloak is not in your hand.
ولیکن گر توانی همچو مردانز جامه درگذر جان را بگردان
But if you are able, like true men,
Pass beyond the garment, and transform the soul.'
