متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پیش از عثمان یکی نساخ بودکو به نسخ وحی جدی می‌نمود
Before 'Uthmān there was a certain scribe
Who appeared earnest in the transcribing of Revelation.
چون نبی از وحی فرمودی سبقاو همان را وا نبشتی بر ورق
When the Prophet would dictate a lesson from Revelation,
He would write the same upon the page.
پرتو آن وحی بر وی تافتیاو درون خویش حکمت یافتی
The radiance of that Revelation shone upon him;
He found wisdom within himself.
عین آن حکمت بفرمودی رسولزین قدر گمراه شد آن بوالفضول
The Prophet would then utter that very same wisdom—
And by this much, that meddlesome fool went astray:
کانچ می‌گوید رسول مستنیرمر مرا هست آن حقیقت در ضمیر
"What the illumined Prophet speaks,
that truth already dwells within my inner being."
پرتو اندیشه‌اش زد بر رسولقهر حق آورد بر جانش نزول
The reflection of his thought struck against the Prophet;
The wrath of God descended upon his soul.
هم ز نساخی بر آمد هم ز دینشد عدو مصطفی و دین بکین
He fell away both from scribing and from the Faith,
And became an enemy of Muṣṭafā and the religion, with spite.
مصطفی فرمود کای گبر عنودچون سیه گشتی اگر نور از تو بود
Muṣṭafā said: "O stubborn infidel,
How have you turned black if the light was from you?
گر تو ینبوع الهی بودییاین چنین آب سیه نگشودیی
If you were a divine spring,
You would not have let flow such black water."
تا که ناموسش به پیش این و آننشکند بر بست این او را دهان
Lest his reputation before one and another be broken,
This sealed his mouth shut against repentance.
اندرون می‌سوختش هم زین سببتوبه کردن می‌نیارست این عجب
Within, he was burning for this very reason,
Yet he could not bring himself to repent—how wondrous!
آه می‌کرد و نبودش آه سودچون در آمد تیغ و سر را در ربود
He groaned, yet his groaning availed him nothing;
When the sword came in and snatched away his head.
کرده حق ناموس را صد من حدیدای بسا بسته به بند ناپدید
God has made reputation a hundred maunds of iron;
How many are bound by an invisible chain!
کبر و کفر آن سان ببست آن راه راکه نیارد کرد ظاهر آه را
Pride and unbelief blocked that path so utterly
That he could not make visible even a sigh.
گفت اغلالا فهم به مقمحوننیست آن اغلال بر ما از برون
He said: "We have placed fetters on their necks, reaching to their chins, so they are with heads uplifted" [Q. 36:8]—
Those fetters are not upon us from without.
خلفهم سدا فاغشیناهممی‌نبیند بند را پیش و پس او
"And We have set a barrier behind them and covered them" [Q. 36:9]—
He sees not the barrier before him or behind.
رنگ صحرا دارد آن سدی که خاستاو نمی‌داند که آن سد قضاست
That barrier which has risen has the color of the open plain;
He does not know that barrier is Destiny.
شاهد تو سد روی شاهدستمرشد تو سد گفت مرشدست
Your witness is a barrier before the face of the Witness;
Your guide is a barrier of the word of the Guide.
ای بسا کفار را سودای دینبندشان ناموس و کبر آن و این
O how many infidels have a longing for religion,
Yet their chains are reputation and pride, this and that!
بند پنهان لیک از آهن بتربند آهن را کند پاره تبر
A hidden chain, yet worse than iron—
An axe can split an iron chain.
بند آهن را توان کردن جدابند غیبی را نداند کس دوا
An iron chain can be broken apart,
But no one knows the remedy for the invisible chain.
مرد را زنبور اگر نیشی زندطبع او آن لحظه بر دفعی تند
If a wasp stings a man,
His nature at that moment rushes to repel it.
زخم نیش اما چو از هستی تستغم قوی باشد نگردد درد سست
But the wound of the sting, since it comes from your own being,
The grief is powerful, and the pain does not weaken.
شرح این از سینه بیرون می‌جهدلیک می‌ترسم که نومیدی دهد
The explanation of this leaps from my breast,
Yet I fear it will bring despair.
نی مشو نومید و خود را شاد کنپیش آن فریادرس فریاد کن
No—do not despair; make yourself glad,
Cry out before that Hearer of Cries:
کای محب عفو از ما عفو کنای طبیب رنج ناسور کهن
"O Lover of pardon, pardon us!
O Physician of the old, festering ailment!"
عکس حکمت آن شقی را یاوه کردخود مبین تا بر نیارد از تو گرد
The reflection of wisdom led that wretch astray;
Do not see yourself, lest it raise dust from you.
ای برادر بر تو حکمت جاریه‌ستآن ز ابدالست و بر تو عاریه‌ست
O brother, the wisdom flowing upon you
Is from the Abdāl and is but a loan to you.
گرچه در خود خانه نوری یافتستآن ز همسایهٔ منور تافتست
Though in your own house a light has been found,
It has shone from an illumined neighbor.
شکر کن غره مشو بینی مکنگوش دار و هیچ خودبینی مکن
Give thanks; be not vain; be not arrogant—
Give ear, and do not practice any self-conceit.
صد دریغ و درد کین عاریتیامتان را دور کرد از امتی
A hundred sorrows and aches that this borrowed thing
Has kept communities far from the Community!
من غلام آن که او در هر رباطخویش را واصل نداند بر سماط
I am the slave of him who at every caravanserai
Does not count himself as arrived at the banquet.
بس رباطی که بباید ترک کردتا به مسکن در رسد یک روز مرد
Many a caravanserai must be abandoned
Before a man one day reaches his true dwelling.
گرچه آهن سرخ شد او سرخ نیستپرتو عاریت آتش‌زنیست
Though iron has turned red, it is not red itself;
The borrowed radiance is but fire-striking.
گر شود پر نور روزن یا سراتو مدان روشن مگر خورشید را
If a window or a house becomes filled with light,
Know nothing as luminous except the Sun.
هر در و دیوار گوید روشنمپرتو غیری ندارم این منم
Every door and wall says: "I am bright;
I have no borrowed radiance from another—this is I!"
پس بگوید آفتاب ای نارشیدچونک من غارب شوم آید پدید
Then the Sun says: "O sunless one,
When I set, it will become evident."
سبزه‌ها گویند ما سبز از خودیمشاد و خندانیم و بس زیبا خدیم
The green things say: "We are green of ourselves;
We are glad and laughing and of most beautiful service."
فصل تابستان بگوید ای اممخویش را بینید چون من بگذرم
Summer says: "O nations,
Behold yourselves when I have passed."
تن همی‌نازد به خوبی و جمالروح پنهان کرده فر و پر و بال
The body prides itself on beauty and comeliness,
While the Spirit has hidden its glory, plumage, and wings.
گویدش ای مزبله تو کیستییک دو روز از پرتو من زیستی
The Spirit says to it: "O dunghill, who are you?
For a day or two you lived by my radiance.
غنج و نازت می‌نگنجد در جهانباش تا که من شوم از تو جهان
Your coquetry and pride cannot be contained in the world—
Wait until I depart from you into the world.
گرم‌دارانت ترا گوری کنندطعمهٔ ماران و مورانت کنند
Those who kept you warm will make a grave of you
And make you the food of serpents and ants.
بینی از گند تو گیرد آن کسیکو به پیش تو همی‌مردی بسی
One who was formerly dying of love for you
Will hold his nose against your stench."
پرتو روحست نطق و چشم و گوشپرتو آتش بود در آب جوش
Speech, sight, and hearing are the radiance of the Spirit;
Boiling in water is the radiance of fire.
آنچنانک پرتو جان بر تنستپرتو ابدال بر جان منست
Just as the radiance of the Soul is upon the body,
So is the radiance of the Abdāl upon my soul.
جان جان چو واکشد پا را ز جانجان چنان گردد که بی‌جان تن بدان
When the Soul of souls withdraws its foot from the soul,
The soul becomes as the body without soul—know this.
سر از آن رو می‌نهم من بر زمینتا گواه من بود در روز دین
For this reason I lay my head upon the earth,
That it may be my witness on the Day of Judgment.
یوم دین که زلزلت زلزالهااین زمین باشد گواه حالها
On the Day of Judgment, when it quakes with quakings,
This earth will be a witness to all states.
گو تحدث جهرة اخبارهادر سخن آید زمین و خاره‌ها
"Let it proclaim aloud its tidings" [Q. 99:4]—
The earth and rocks will come to speech.
فلسفی منکر شود در فکر و ظنگو برو سر را بر آن دیوار زن
The philosopher will deny it in thought and conjecture—
Tell him: go, beat your head against that wall.
نطق آب و نطق خاک و نطق گلهست محسوس حواس اهل دل
The speech of water, the speech of earth, the speech of clay
Is perceptible to the senses of the People of the Heart.
فلسفی کو منکر حنانه استاز حواس اولیا بیگانه است
The philosopher who denies the Ḥanāna
Is a stranger to the senses of the saints.
گوید او که پرتو سودای خلقبس خیالات آورد در رای خلق
He says: "The reflection of people's passion
Brings many illusions into the minds of people."
بلک عکس آن فساد و کفر اواین خیال منکری را زد برو
But rather, the reflection of his own corruption and unbelief
Has cast this illusion of denial upon him.
فلسفی مر دیو را منکر شوددر همان دم سخرهٔ دیوی بود
The philosopher who denies the demon
Is at that very moment in the grip of a demon.
گر ندیدی دیو را خود را ببینبی جنون نبود کبودی بر جبین
If you have not seen the demon, look at yourself:
There is no blue mark on the forehead without madness.
هر که را در دل شک و پیچانیستدر جهان او فلسفی پنهانیست
Whoever has in his heart doubt and twisting
Is in the world a hidden philosopher.
می‌نماید اعتقاد و گاه گاهآن رگ فلسف کند رویش سیاه
He displays belief, and yet now and then
That vein of philosophy blackens his face.
الحذر ای مؤمنان کان در شماستدر شما بس عالم بی‌منتهاست
Beware, O believers, for that is within you;
Within you are many a boundless world.
جمله هفتاد و دو ملت در توستوه که روزی آن بر آرد از تو دست
All seventy-two sects are within you—
Alas, that one day they may raise their hand from within you!
هر که او را برگ آن ایمان بودهمچو برگ از بیم این لرزان بود
Whoever has the means for that faith
Was trembling like a leaf from fear of this.
بر بلیس و دیو زان خندیده‌ایکه تو خود را نیک مردم دیده‌ای
You have laughed at Iblīs and the demon because
You have seen yourself as a righteous man.
چون کند جان بازگونه پوستینچند وا ویلی بر آید ز اهل دین
When the soul turns its fur coat inside out,
How many cries of "Woe!" will rise from the people of religion!
بر دکان هر زرنما خندان شدستزانک سنگ امتحان پنهان شدست
At the shop of every gold-imitator there is laughter,
Because the touchstone has been hidden.
پرده‌ای ستار از ما بر مگیرباش اندر امتحان ما ر
