متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

نعره لا ضیر بشنید آسمانچرخ گویی شد پی آن صولجان
The sky heard the cry of 'No harm,' and the sphere of heaven, as it were, went after that polo-mallet.
ضربت فرعون ما را نیست ضیرلطف حق غالب بود بر قهر غیر
Pharaoh's blow is no harm to us; God's grace prevails over the wrath of others.
گر بدانی سر ما را ای مضلمی رهانیمان ز رنج ای کوردل
If you knew our secret, O misleader, you would release us from suffering, O blind-hearted one.

Come, look from this side and see how this organ is playing: 'O would that my people knew!'
داد ما را داد حق  فرعونی یینی  چو فرعون ملکت فانی یی
God gave us a Pharaoh-like sovereignty; not like Pharaoh, a transient kingdom.
سر بر آر و ملک بین زنده جلیلای شده غره به مصر و رود نیل
Lift up your head and behold the living, majestic Kingdom, O you who have been deluded by Egypt and the River Nile!
گر تو ترک این نجس خرقه کنینیل را در نیل جان غرقه کنی
If you abandon this filthy cloak, you will submerge the Nile within the Nile of the soul.
هین بدار از مصر ای فرعون دستدر میان مصر جان صد مصر هست
Take your hand off Egypt, O Pharaoh! Within the Egypt of the soul, there are a hundred Egypts.
تو انا و  رب همی گویی به عامغافل از ماهیت این هر دو نام
You say 'I' (ana) and 'Lord' (rabb) to the common people, completely unaware of the essence of both these names.
رب بر مربوب کی لرزان بودکی انا دان بند جسم و جان بود
How could the Lord tremble before the subject? How could the knower of 'I' be bound by body and soul?
نک انا ماییم رسته از انااز انای پر بلای پر عنا
Look, we are the 'I' that has escaped from 'I'—from the 'I' full of calamity and pain.
آن انایی بر تو ای سگ شوم بوددر حق ما دولت محتوم بود
That egotism was ominous for you, O dog, but for us, it was a destined state of fortune.
گر نبودیت این انایی کینه کشکی زدی بر ما چنین اقبال خوش
If you did not have this vengeful egotism, how would such happy fortune have shone upon us?
شکر آنک از دار فانی می رهیمبر سر این دار پندت می دهیم
Thanks be to God that we are escaping from the transient world, and from atop this gallows we give you counsel.
دار قتل ما براق رحلت استدار ملک تو غرور و غفلت است
The gallows of our execution is the Buraq of our departure; your house of dominion is but pride and heedlessness.
این حیاتی خفیه در نقش مماتوان مماتی خفیه در قشر حیات
This is a hidden life in the form of death, and that is a hidden death within the husk of life.
می نماید نور نار و نار نورورنه دنیا کی بدی دارالغرور
Light appears as fire and fire as light—otherwise, how could the world be the Abode of Delusion?
هین مکن تعجیل اول نیست شوچون غروب آری بر آ از شرق ضو
Do not hasten! First become non-existent. When you set, rise from the East of light.
از انایی ازل دل دنگ شداین انایی سرد گشت و ننگ شد
From the eternal Egotism, the heart became amazed; this human egotism became cold and shameful.
زان انای بی انا خوش گشت جانشد جهان او از انایی جهان
From that I-less 'I,' the soul became joyful; his world became free from worldly egotism.
از انا چون رست اکنون شد اناآفرین ها بر انای بی عنا
Having escaped from 'I,' he has now become the true 'I'—blessings upon the painless 'I'!
کو گریزان و انایی در پیشمی دود چون دید وی را بی ویش
He is fleeing, and egotism is running after him, when it sees him free of self.
طالب اویی نگردد طالبتچون بمردی طالبت شد مطلبت
You are the seeker of Him, and your seeker will not seek you. When you die, your seeker becomes your sought-one.
زنده ای کی مرده شو شوید تراطالبی کی مطلبت جوید ترا
You are alive; how should the corpse-washer wash you? You are the seeker; how should your sought-one search for you?
اندرین بحث ار خرد ره بین بدیفخر رازی رازدان دین بدی
If intellect were the pathfinder in this discussion, Fakhr Razi would have been the knower of the secrets of religion.
لیک چون من لمن یذق لم یدر بودعقل و تخییلات او حیرت فزود
But since it was a case of 'he who has not tasted does not know,' his intellect and imaginations only increased his perplexity.
کی شود کشف از تفکر این اناآن انا مکشوف شد بعد از فنا
How could this 'I' be revealed through contemplation? That 'I' is revealed only after annihilation (fana).
می فتد این عقل ها در افتقاددر مغاکی حلول و اتحاد
These intellects fall into lack and error, into the abyss of incarnation (hulul) and union (ittihad).
ای ایاز گشته فانی ز اقترابهم چو اختر در شعاع آفتاب
O Ayaz, who has become annihilated through proximity, like a star in the rays of the sun,
بلک چون نطفه مبدل تو به تننه از حلول و اتحادی مفتتن
Nay, rather, like sperm transformed into the body, not seduced by incarnation and union.
عفو کن ای عفو در صندوق توسابق لطفی همه مسبوق تو
Forgive, O You in whose chest is forgiveness, You whose grace precedes everything, and everything is preceded by You.
من کی باشم که بگویم عفو کنای تو سلطان و خلاصه امر کن
Who am I to say, 'Forgive'? O King, in short, give Your command!
من کی باشم که بوم من با منتای گرفته جمله منها دامنت
Who am I to exist as 'I' along with You? O You whose skirt has been grasped by all 'I's!
