متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

در نغولی بود آب آن تشنه راندبر درخت جوز جوزی می فشاند
The water was in a gully; that thirsty one pressed on,
Upon a walnut tree, shaking down walnuts one by one.
می فتاد از جوزبن جوز اندر آببانگ می آمد همی دید او حباب
From the walnut tree, walnuts kept falling into the water;
A sound would come — he could see the bubbles forming.
عاقلی گفتش که بگذار ای فتیجوزها خود تشنگی آرد ترا
A wise man said to him: "Leave it, O youth —
The walnuts themselves will bring you thirst.
بیشتر در آب می افتد ثمرآب در پستیست از تو دور در
More fruit keeps falling into the water;
The water is below, far down from you.
تا تو از بالا فرو آیی به زورآب جویش برده باشد تا به دور
By the time you force your way down from above,
The stream will have carried the water far away."
گفت قصدم زین فشاندن جوز نیستتیزتر بنگر برین ظاهر مه ایست
He said: "My purpose in shaking down walnuts is not this —
Look more sharply; do not stop at this surface.
قصد من آنست که آید بانگ آبهم ببینم بر سر آب این حباب
My purpose is that the sound of the water may come,
And that I may also see these bubbles on the water's surface.
تشنه را خود شغل چه بود در جهانگرد پای حوض گشتن جاودان
What else is the thirsty one's occupation in the world
But to circle forever around the rim of the pool?
گرد جو و گرد آب و بانگ آبهم چو حاجی طایف کعبهٔ صواب
To circle the stream and the water and the sound of water,
Like a pilgrim circumambulating the Kaʿba of righteousness."
هم چنان مقصود من زین مثنویای ضیاء الحق حسام الدین توی
Likewise, my purpose in this Masnavi —
O Ḍiyāʾ al-Ḥaqq, it is you, Ḥusām al-Dīn.
مثنوی اندر فروع و در اصولجمله آن تست کردستی قبول
The Masnavi in its branches and in its roots —
All of it is yours; you have accepted it.
در قبول آرند شاهان نیک و بدچون قبول آرند نبود بیش رد
Kings bring both good and bad into acceptance;
When they accept, there is no further rejection.
چون نهالی کاشتی آبش بدهچون گشادش داده ای بگشا گره
Since you planted a sapling, water it;
Since you gave it opening, untie the knot.
قصدم از الفاظ او راز توستقصدم از انشایش آواز توست
My purpose in its words is your secret;
My purpose in its composition is your voice.
پیش من آوازت آواز خداستعاشق از معشوق حاشا که جداست
In my eyes, your voice is the voice of God;
Far be it that the lover be separate from the Beloved.
اتصالی بی تکیف بی قیاسهست رب الناس را با جان ناس
A connection without modality, beyond all measure,
Exists between the Lord of Mankind and the souls of mankind.
لیک گفتم ناس من نسناس نیناس غیر جان جان اشناس نی
But by "nās" I mean not the brutish nasnās;
Nās means none other than the soul-knowing soul.
ناس مردم باشد و کو مردمیتو سر مردم ندیدستی دمی
Nās means the human being — but where is humanity?
You have not glimpsed the secret of the human for a single moment.
ما رمیت اذ رمیت خوانده ایلیک جسمی در تجزی مانده ای
"You did not throw when you threw" — you have read this,
Yet you remain a body caught in fragmentation.
ملک جسمت را چو بلقیس ای غبیترک کن بهر سلیمان نبی
Abandon the kingdom of your body, like Bilqīs, O fool,
For the sake of Solomon the Prophet.
می کنم لا حول نه از گفت خویشبلک از وسواس آن اندیشه کیش
I say "Lā ḥawla" — not on account of my own speech,
But on account of the whispering of that thought-worshipping one,
کو خیالی می کند در گفت مندر دل از وسواس و انکارات ظن
Who conjures fantasies about my words,
And in the heart plants whisperings and suspicious denials.
می کنم لا حول یعنی چاره نیستچون ترا در دل بضدم گفتنیست
I say "Lā ḥawla," meaning: there is no remedy,
When you have something contrary to me to say in your heart.
چونک گفت من گرفتت در گلومن خمش کردم تو آن خود بگو
Since my speech has caught in your throat,
I have fallen silent — say what is yours yourself.
آن یکی نایی خوش نی می زدستناگهان از مقعدش بادی بجست
A certain sweet nay-player was playing beautifully,
When suddenly a wind burst from his backside.
نای را بر کون نهاد او که ز منگر تو بهتر می زنی بستان بزن
He placed the nay upon his rear and said: "From me,
If you can play better, take it and play."
ای مسلمان خود ادب اندر طلبنیست الا حمل از هر بی ادب
O Muslim, true courtesy in the path of seeking
Is nothing but bearing with every discourteous one.
هر که را بینی شکایت می کندکه فلان کس راست طبع و خوی بد
Every one you see who complains
That so-and-so has an evil nature and bad character —
این شکایت گر بدان که بدخو استکه مر آن بدخوی را او بدگو است
Know that this complainer is himself ill-natured,
Since he speaks ill of that ill-natured one.
زانک خوش خو آن بود کو در خمولباشد از بدخو و بدطبعان حمول
For the good-natured one is he who in obscurity
Bears patiently with the ill-natured and the bad-tempered.
لیک در شیخ آن گله ز آمر خداستنه پی خشم و ممارات و هواست
But in the Shaykh, that complaint comes from God's command,
Not for the sake of anger, contention, or desire.
آن شکایت نیست هست اصلاح جانچون شکایت کردن پیغامبران
That is not complaint; it is the rectification of souls,
Like the lamentations of the Prophets.
ناحمولی انبیا از امر دانورنه حمالست بد را حلمشان
Know that the Prophets' impatience comes from divine command;
Otherwise, their forbearance bears evil with patience.
طبع را کشتند در حمل بدیناحمولی گر بود هست ایزدی
They killed their own natures in bearing evil;
If they showed impatience, it was divine impatience.
ای سلیمان در میان زاغ و بازحلم حق شو با همه مرغان بساز
O Solomon, amid crow and falcon,
Become the forbearance of God; make peace with all birds.
ای دو صد بلقیس حلمت را زبونکه اهد قومی انهم لا یعلمون
O you before whose forbearance two hundred Bilqīses are subdued —
"Guide my people, for they do not know."
