دفتر پنجم - بخش ۲۴ - در بیان آنک هیچ چشم بدی آدمی را چنان مهلک نیست کی چشم پسند خویشتن مگر کی چشم او مبدل شده باشد به نور حق که بی یسمع و بی یبصر و خویشتن او بی‌خویشتن شده / Book Five - Section 24 - In explanation that no evil eye is so deadly to man as the eye of self-approval, unless his eye has been converted into the light of the Truth, so that through Him he hears and through Him he sees, and his selfhood has become selfless

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پر طاوست مبین و پای بینتا که سؤ العین نگشاید کمین
Do not look at your peacock's feather, look at its foot,
Lest the evil eye open an ambush.
که بلغزد کوه از چشم بدانیزلقونک از نبی بر خوان بدان
For a mountain slips from the eye of the evil ones;
Read 'and they would make you slip' from the Prophet's story and know it.
احمد چون کوه لغزید از نظردر میان راه بی گل بی مطر
Ahmad, though like a mountain, slipped from a glance,
In the middle of the way, without mud, without rain.
در عجب درماند کین لغزش ز چیستمن نپندارم که این حالت تهیست
He remained in wonder: 'What is this slipping from?
I do not deem this state to be empty of meaning.'
تا بیامد آیت و آگاه کردکان ز چشم بد رسیدت وز نبرد
Until the verse came and informed him
That it came to you from the evil eye and hostility.
گر بدی غیر تو در دم لا شدیصید چشم و سخره افنا شدی
Had it been anyone but you, he would have instantly become naught,
Becoming the prey of the eye and the mockery of annihilation.
لیک آمد عصمتی دامن کشانوین که لغزیدی بد از بهر نشان
But a trailing protection arrived,
And that you slipped was only for a sign.
عبرتی گیر اندر آن که کن نگاهبرگ خود عرضه مکن ای کم ز کاه
Take a lesson from that and look:
Do not display your foliage, O you who are less than straw!
