متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چون خبر یابید جد مصطفیاز حلیمه وز فغانش بر ملا
When the grandfather of Muṣṭafā received news
From Ḥalīma and her public lamentation,
وز چنان بانگ بلند و نعره هاکه بمیلی می رسید از وی صدا
And from such loud cries and shrieks
That her sound reached a mile away,
زود عبدالمطلب دانست چیستدست بر سینه همی زد می گریست
ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib quickly understood what it was—
He struck his chest and wept.
آمد از غم بر در کعبه بسوزکای خبیر از سر شب وز راز روز
He came in grief, burning, to the door of the Kaʿba:
O You who know the secrets of night and the mysteries of day,
خویشتن را من نمی بینم فنیتا بود هم راز تو هم چون منی
I see no craft in myself
That one like me could be Your confidant,
خویشتن را من نمی بینم هنرتا شوم مقبول این مسعود در
I see no virtue in myself
To become accepted at this blessed door.
یا سر و سجدهٔ مرا قدری بودیا باشکم دولتی خندان شود
Either my head and prostration have some worth,
Or through my belly a fortune would smile open.
لیک در سیمای آن در یتیمدیده ام آثار لطفت ای کریم
But in the countenance of that orphaned child
I have seen the signs of Your grace, O Generous One—
که نمی ماند به ما گرچه ز ماستما همه مسیم و احمد کیمیاست
He does not resemble us, though he is from us:
We are all copper, and Aḥmad is the philosopher's stone.
آن عجایبها که من دیدم برومن ندیدم بر ولی و بر عدو
Those wonders that I have seen upon him
I have not seen upon friend or foe.
آنک فضل تو درین طفلیش دادکس نشان ندهد به صد ساله جهاد
What Your grace gave him in this infancy
No one could attain through a hundred years of striving.
چون یقین دیدم عنایتهای توبر وی او دریست از دریای تو
Since I have certainly seen Your favors upon him—
He is a door from Your sea—
من هم او را می شفیع آرم به توحال او ای حال دان با من بگو
I too bring him as intercessor to You:
O Knower of states, tell me of his condition.
از درون کعبه آمد بانگ زودکه هم اکنون رخ به تو خواهد نمود
From within the Kaʿba a voice came swiftly:
Right now he will show his face to you.
با دو صد اقبال او محظوظ ماستبا دو صد طلب ملک محفوظ ماست
With two hundred fortunes, he is Our delight;
With two hundred seekers, the kingdom is protected by Us.
ظاهرش را شهرهٔ گیهان کنیمباطنش را از همه پنهان کنیم
His outward We will make renowned throughout the world;
His inward We will conceal from all.
زر کان بود آب و گل ما زرگریمکه گهش خلخال و گه خاتم بریم
Gold in the mine was water and clay; We are goldsmiths
Who sometimes fashion it into an anklet, sometimes a signet ring,
گه حمایلهای شمشیرش کنیمگاه بند گردن شیرش کنیم
Sometimes We make it into sword-belts,
Sometimes the collar-chain of a lion,
گه ترنج تخت بر سازیم ازوگاه تاج فرقهای ملک جو
Sometimes We fashion a throne-medallion from it,
Sometimes a crown for the heads of kingdom-seekers.
عشقها داریم با این خاک مازانک افتادست در قعدهٔ رضا
We hold love for this earth,
Because it has fallen into the station of acceptance.
گه چنین شاهی ازو پیدا کنیمگه هم او را پیش شه شیدا کنیم
Sometimes We bring forth such a king from it,
Sometimes We make even him frenzied before the King.
صد هزاران عاشق و معشوق ازودر فغان و در نفیر و جست و جو
Hundreds of thousands of lovers and beloveds from it
In lamentation, outcry, and seeking—
کار ما اینست بر کوری آنکه به کار ما ندارد میل جان
This is Our work, despite those
Whose souls have no inclination toward Our work.
این فضیلت خاک را زان رو دهیمکه نواله پیش بی برگان نهیم
We give this excellence to earth for this reason:
That We may place morsels before the destitute,
زانک دارد خاک شکل اغبریوز درون دارد صفات انوری
For earth has an outwardly dusty form,
Yet inwardly possesses the qualities of light.
ظاهرش با باطنش گشته به جنگباطنش چون گوهر و ظاهر چو سنگ
Its outward has gone to war with its inward:
Its inward like a jewel, its outward like stone.
ظاهرش گوید که ما اینیم و بسباطنش گوید نکو بین پیش و پس
Its outward says: we are only this, nothing more;
Its inward says: look well at what came before and after.
ظاهرش منکر که باطن هیچ نیستباطنش گوید که بنماییم بیست
Its outward denies: the inward is nothing;
Its inward says: we will reveal twenty-fold.
ظاهرش با باطنش در چالش اندلاجرم زین صبر نصرت می کشند
Outward and inward are in contest—
From this patience, inevitably, victory is drawn.
زین ترش رو خاک صورتها کنیمخندهٔ پنهانش را پیدا کنیم
From this sour-faced earth We fashion forms;
We make manifest its hidden laughter.
زانک ظاهر خاک اندوه و بکاستدر درونش صد هزاران خنده هاست
For earth's outward is grief and weeping,
But within it are hundreds of thousands of laughters.
کاشف السریم و کار ما همینکین نهانها را بر آریم از کمین
We are the Revealer of Secrets, and this is Our work:
To bring these hidden things out from ambush.
گرچه دزد از منکری تن می زندشحنه آن از عصر پیدا می کند
Though the thief conceals himself through denial,
The constable reveals him from evidence.
فضلها دزدیده اند این خاکهاتا مقر آریمشان از ابتلا
These earths have stolen excellences—
Until We bring them to confession through trial.
بس عجب فرزند کو را بوده استلیک احمد بر همه افزوده است
Many a wondrous child has been born from it,
But Aḥmad has surpassed them all.
شد زمین و آسمان خندان و شادکین چنین شاهی ز ما دو جفت زاد
Earth and heaven became laughing and glad
That such a king was born from us two, a pair.
می شکافد آسمان از شادیشخاک چون سوسن شده ز آزادیش
Heaven splits open from joy at him;
Earth has become like the lily through his liberation.
ظاهرت با باطنت ای خاک خوشچونک در جنگ اند و اندر کش مکش
Your outward with your inward, O sweet earth,
Since they are in war and in struggle—
هر که با خود بهر حق باشد به جنگتا شود معنیش خصم بو و رنگ
Whoever is at war with himself for the sake of Ḥaqq,
So that his meaning becomes the enemy of scent and color,
ظلمتش با نور او شد در قتالآفتاب جانش را نبود زوال
His darkness came into battle with his light:
The sun of his soul shall know no setting.
هر که کوشد بهر ما در امتحانپشت زیر پایش آرد آسمان
Whoever strives for Our sake through trial,
Heaven will bring its back beneath his feet.
ظاهرت از تیرگی افغان کنانباطن تو گلستان در گلستان
Your outward lamenting from its darkness,
Your inward a rose-garden within rose-garden.
قاصد او چون صوفیان روترشتا نیامیزند با هر نورکش
His emissary is like the Sufis—sour-faced,
So they may not mingle with every light-extinguisher.
عارفان روترش چون خارپشتعیش پنهان کرده در خار درشت
The knowers are sour-faced like the hedgehog,
Having hidden their joy within coarse thorns.
باغ پنهان گرد باغ آن خار فاشکای عدوی دزد زین در دور باش
The garden hidden, around the garden those thorns manifest:
O enemy-thief, stay far from this door!
خارپشتا خار حارس کرده ایسر چو صوفی در گریبان برده ای
O hedgehog, you have made thorns your guard,
You have drawn your head into your collar like a Sufi,
تا کسی دوچار دانگ عیش توکم شود زین گلرخان خارخو
So that whoever encounters a fraction of your joy
Is spared from these rose-faced, thorn-habited ones.
طفل تو گرچه که کودک خو بدستهر دو عالم خود طفیل او بدست
Your child, though childlike in manner,
Both worlds are indeed dependent upon him.
ما جهانی را بدو زنده کنیمچرخ را در خدمتش بنده کنیم
We will make a world alive through him;
We will make the celestial sphere a servant in his service.
گفت عبدالمطلب کین دم کجاستای علیم السر نشان ده راه راست
ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib said: Where is he now?
O ʿAlīm al-Sirr, show the right path.
