متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پس ایاز مهرافزا بر جهیدپیش تخت آن الغ سلطان دوید
Then Ayaz, the love-increasing, leaped up
And ran before the throne of that great Sultan.
سجده ای کرد و گلوی خود گرفتکای قبادی کز تو چرخ آرد شگفت
He prostrated himself and grasped his own throat,
Saying: 'O Qubad at whom the heavens marvel!
ای همایی که همایان فرخیاز تو دارند و سخاوت هر سخی
O Huma from whom other Humas derive their auspiciousness,
And from whom every generous person receives generosity!
ای کریمی که کرمهای جهانمحو گردد پیش ایثارت نهان
O generous one, before whose secret bounty
All the generosities of the world vanish!
ای لطیفی که گل سرخت بدیداز خجالت پیرهن را بر درید
O subtle one, whom the red rose saw
And tore its garment in shame!
از غفوری تو غفران چشم سیرروبهان بر شیر از عفو تو چیر
Because of your forgivingness, forgiveness is fully satisfied;
Foxes become bold against the lion due to your pardon.
جز که عفو تو کرا دارد سندهر که با امر تو بی باکی کند
Who else but your forgiveness has a warrant,
When someone acts audaciously against your command?
غفلت و گستاخی این مجرماناز وفور عفو تست ای عفوران
The negligence and insolence of these offenders
Is due to the abundance of your forgiveness, O Forgiving One.
دایما غفلت ز گستاخی دمدکه برد تعظیم از دیده رمد
Negligence constantly breeds from insolence,
Which removes reverence like a disease of the eye.
غفلت و نسیان بد آموختهز آتش تعظیم گردد سوخته
Negligence and forgetfulness, when badly learned,
Are burned away by the fire of reverence.
هیبتش بیداری و فطنت دهدسهو نسیان از دلش بیرون جهد
His dread gives wakefulness and intelligence;
Error and forgetfulness leap out of his heart.
وقت غارت خواب ناید خلق راتا بنرباید کسی زو دلق را
At the time of plunder, sleep does not come to people,
Lest someone steal their dervish-robe.
خواب چون در می رمد از بیم دلقخواب نسیان کی بود با بیم حلق
Since sleep flees out of fear for a mere robe,
How could there be the sleep of forgetfulness when the throat is in danger?
لاتؤاخذ ان نسینا شد گواهکه بود نسیان بوجهی هم گناه
'Do not punish us if we forget' became a witness
That forgetfulness is, in a way, also a sin.
زانک استکمال تعظیم او نکردورنه نسیان در نیاوردی نبرد
For he did not bring reverence to perfection,
Otherwise, forgetfulness would not have waged war.
گرچه نسیان لابد و ناچار بوددر سبب ورزیدن او مختار بود
Although forgetfulness was inevitable and unavoidable,
Yet in practicing its cause, he was free.
که تهاون کرد در تعظیمهاتا که نسیان زاد یا سهو و خطا
For he was negligent in acts of reverence,
Until forgetfulness, or oversight, and error were born.
هم چو مستی کو جنایتها کندگوید او معذور بودم من ز خود
Like a drunkard who commits crimes
And says: 'I was excused, I was out of my mind.'
گویدش لیکن سبب ای زشتکاراز تو بد در رفتن آن اختیار
He is told: 'But the cause, O evildoer,
Was from you in throwing away that choice.
بی خودی نامد بخود تش خواندیاختیارت خود نشد تش راندی
Selflessness did not come on its own; you summoned it.
Your choice did not leave on its own; you dismissed it.'
گر رسیدی مستی بی جهد توحفظ کردی ساقی جان عهد تو
If drunkenness had come to you without your effort,
The Cupbearer of the Soul would have preserved your covenant;
پشت دارت بودی او و عذرخواهمن غلام زلت مست اله
He would have been your supporter and apologist.
I am the servant of the slip of one who is drunk with God.
عفوهای جمله عالم ذره ایعکس عفوت ای ز تو هر بهره ای
All the pardons of the world are but a speck,
A reflection of your pardon, O You from whom comes every bounty.
عفوها گفته ثنای عفو تونیست کفوش ایها الناس اتقوا
All pardons have sung the praise of your pardon;
There is no equal to it: 'O people, fear [God].'
جانشان بخش و ز خودشان هم مرانکام شیرین تو اند ای کامران
Grant them their lives, and do not drive them away;
They are your sweet pleasure, O Successful One!
رحم کن بر وی که روی تو بدیدفرقت تلخ تو چون خواهد کشید
Have mercy on him who has seen your face;
How shall he endure your bitter separation?
از فراق و هجر می گویی سخنهر چه خواهی کن ولیکن این مکن
You speak of separation and exile;
Do whatever you wish, but do not do this!
صد هزاران مرگ تلخ شصت تونیست مانند فراق روی تو
A hundred thousand bitter deaths from your bow
Are not like the separation from your face.
تلخی هجر از ذکور و از اناثدور دار ای مجرمان را مستغاث
Keep the bitterness of separation, both from males and females,
Far away, O Helper of the guilty!
بر امید وصل تو مردن خوشستتلخی هجر تو فوق آتشست
To die in the hope of union with you is sweet;
The bitterness of your separation is worse than fire.
گبر می گوید میان آن سقرچه غمم بودی گرم کردی نظر
Even the infidel says in the midst of Hell:
'What sorrow would I have had if You had looked upon me?'
کان نظر شیرین کننده رنجهاستساحران را خونبهای دست و پاست
For that gaze is the sweetener of all sufferings,
And is the blood-money for the hands and feet of the sorcerers.'
