متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ساخت طوماری به نام هر یکینقش هر طومار دیگر مسلکی
He made a scroll in the name of each one;
The content of each scroll was a different path.
حکم های هر یکی نوعی دگراین خلاف آن ز پایان تا به سر
The injunctions of each were of a different kind—
This contrary to that, from end to beginning.
در یکی راه ریاضت را و جوعرکن توبه کرده و شرط رجوع
In one, the path of asceticism and hunger
Was made the pillar of repentance and condition of return.
در یکی گفته ریاضت سود نیستاندرین ره مخلصی جز جود نیست
In one he said: asceticism is of no use;
On this path there is no deliverance except generosity.
در یکی گفته که جوع و جود توشرک باشد از تو با معبود تو
In one he said: your hunger and your generosity
Would be associating partners with your Worshipped One—
جز توکل جز که تسلیم تمامدر غم و راحت همه مکر ست و دام
Except trust in God, except complete submission;
In sorrow and ease, all else is deceit and snare.
در یکی گفته که واجب خدمتستور نه اندیشهٔ توکل تهمتست
In one he said: service is obligatory;
Otherwise the thought of trust is a false accusation.
در یکی گفته که امر و نهی هاستبهر کردن نیست ، شرح عجز ماست
In one he said: there are commands and prohibitions—
They are not for doing; they are an account of our incapacity,
تا که عجز خود بینیم اندر آنقدرت او را بدانیم آن زمان
So that we may see our own incapacity in them
And know His power at that moment.
در یکی گفته که عجز خود مبینکفر نعمت کردن است آن عجز هین
In one he said: do not look at your own incapacity—
That incapacity is ingratitude for blessings, beware!
قدرت خود بین که این قدرت ازوستقدرت تو نعمت او دان که هوست
See your own power, for this power is from Him;
Know your power as His blessing, for He is it.
در یکی گفته کزین دو بر گذربت بود هر چه بگنجد در نظر
In one he said: pass beyond these two—
Whatever can be contained in sight is an idol.
در یکی گفته مکش این شمع راکاین نظر چون شمع آمد جمع را
In one he said: do not extinguish this candle,
For this sight is like a candle for the assembly.
از نظر چون بگذری و از خیالکشته باشی نیم شب شمع وصال
When you pass beyond sight and imagination,
You will have extinguished the candle of union at midnight.
در یکی گفته بکش باکی مدارتا عوض بینی نظر را صد هزار
In one he said: extinguish it, have no fear—
So that you may see a hundred thousand in exchange for sight,
که ز کشتن شمع جان افزون شودلیلی ات از صبر تو مجنون شود
For from extinguishing the candle the soul increases,
And your Layla will grow mad through your patience.
ترک دنیا هر که کرد از زهد خویشبیش آید پیش او دنیا و بیش
Whoever renounces the world through their own asceticism,
More of the world will come before them, and more.
در یکی گفته که آنچت داد حقبر تو شیرین کرد در ایجاد حق
In one he said: what the Truth has given you
The Truth has made sweet for you in creation;
بر تو آسان کرد و خوش آن را بگیرخویشتن را در میفکن در زحیر
He has made it easy and pleasant—take it;
Do not cast yourself into hardship.
در یکی گفته که بگذار آن خودکان قبول طبع تو رد ست و بد
In one he said: abandon that self of yours,
For what your nature accepts is rejected and bad.
راه های مختلف آسان شدستهر یکی را ملتی چون جان شدست
The different paths have become easy;
Each has become a religion, like a soul.
گر میسر کردن حق ره بدیهر جهود و گبر ازو آگه بدی
If God's making-easy were itself the path,
Every Jew and Zoroastrian would know of it.
در یکی گفته میسر آن بودکه حیات دل غذای جان بود
In one he said: that which is truly made easy
Is the life of the heart, the nourishment of the soul.
هر چه ذوق طبع باشد ، چون گذشتبر نه آرد همچو شوره ریع و کشت
Whatever has the taste of mere nature—when it passes—
Yields nothing, like saline soil, no return or crop.
جز پشیمانی نباشد ریع اوجز خسارت پیش نارد بیع او
Its yield is nothing but regret;
Its trade brings nothing forward but loss.
آن میسر نبود اندر عاقبتنام او باشد معسر عاقبت
That was not easy in the end;
In the end its name will be difficulty.
تو معسر از میسر بازدانعاقبت بنگر جمال این و آن
Distinguish the difficult from the easy;
Look toward the end, at the beauty of this and that.
در یکی گفته که استادی طلبعاقبت بینی نیابی در حسب
In one he said: seek a master;
You will not find foresight through noble lineage.
عاقبت دیدند هر گون ملتیلاجرم گشتند اسیر زلتی
Every kind of community has looked toward the end;
Therefore they inevitably became captives of error.
عاقبت دیدن نباشد دست بافورنه کی بودی ز دین ها اختلاف
Seeing the end is not a handmade craft—
Otherwise, when would there be disagreement among religions?
در یکی گفته که استا هم تویزانک استا را شناسا هم توی
In one he said: the master is also you,
For you are also the one who knows the master.
مرد باش و سخرهٔ مردان مشورو سر خود گیر و سرگردان مشو
Be a man, and do not be made a tool of men;
Go, take your own way, and do not wander bewildered.
در یکی گفته که «این جمله یکیستهر که او دو بیند احول مردکی ست
In one he said: all this is one;
Whoever sees two is a cross-eyed little man.
در یکی گفته که صد یک چون بوداین کی اندیشد مگر مجنون بود
In one he said: how can a hundred be one?
Who would think this unless he were mad?
هر یکی قولیست ضد هم دگرچون یکی باشد یکی زهر و شکر
Each statement is contrary to the others—
How can there be one when one is poison and one is sugar?
تا ز زهر و از شکر در نگذریکی تو از گلزار وحدت بو بری
Until you pass beyond poison and sugar,
When will you catch the fragrance from the rose garden of unity?
این نمط وین نوع ده طومار و دوبر نوشت آن دین عیسی را عدو
In this manner and style, ten scrolls and two
Were written by that enemy of the religion of Jesus.
