Original content

استن حنانه از هجر رسول
ناله می زد همچو ارباب عقول

گفت پیغامبر چه خواهی ای ستون؟
گفت: جانم از فراقت گشت خون؛

مسندت من بودم، از من تاختی
بر سر منبر تو مسند ساختی

گفت: خواهی که ترا نخلی کنند؟
شرقی و غربی ز تو میوه چنند

یا در آن عالم، حقت سروی کند؟
تا تر و تازه بمانی تا ابد

گفت آن خواهم که دایم شد بقاش
بشنو ای غافل! کم از چوبی مباش

آن ستون را دفن کرد اندر زمین
تا چو مردم حشر گردد یوم دین

تا بدانی هر که را یزدان بخواند
از همه کار جهان بی کار ماند

هر که را باشد ز یزدان کار و بار
یافت بار آنجا و بیرون شد ز کار

آنک او را نبود از اسرار داد
کی کند تصدیق او نالهٔ جماد

گوید آری نه ز دل بهر وفاق
تا نگویندش که هست اهل نفاق

گر نیندی واقفان امر کن
در جهان رد گشته بودی این سخن

صد هزاران ز اهل تقلید و نشان
افکندشان نیم وهمی در گمان

که به ظن تقلید و استدلالشان
قایمست و جمله پر و بالشان

شبهه ای انگیزد آن شیطان دون
درفتند این جمله کوران سرنگون

پای استدلالیان چوبین بود
پای چوبین سخت بی تمکین بود

غیر آن قطب زمان دیده ور
کز ثباتش کوه گردد خیره سر

پای نابینا عصا باشد عصا
تا نیفتد سرنگون او بر حصا

آن سواری کاو سپه را شد ظفر
اهل دین را کیست سلطان بصر

با عصا کوران اگر ره دیده اند
در پناه خلق روشن دیده اند

گر نه بینایان بدندی و شهان
جمله کوران مرده اندی در جهان

نه ز کوران کشت آید نه درود
نه عمارت نه تجارتها و سود

گر نکردی رحمت و افضالتان
در شکستی چوب استدلالتان

این عصا چه بود قیاسات و دلیل
آن عصا که دادشان بینا جلیل

چون عصا شد آلت جنگ و نفیر
آن عصا را خرد بشکن ای ضریر

او عصاتان داد تا پیش آمدیت
آن عصا از خشم هم بر وی زدیت

حلقهٔ کوران به چه کار اندرید
دیدبان را در میانه آورید

دامن او گیر کاو دادت عصا
در نگر کادم چه ها دید از عصا

معجزهٔ موسی و احمد را نگر
چون عصا شد مار و استن با خبر

از عصا ماری و از استن حنین
پنج نوبت می زنند از بهر دین

گرنه نامعقول بودی این مزه
کی بدی حاجت به چندین معجزه

هرچه معقولست عقلش می خورد
بی بیان معجزه بی جر و مد

این طریق بکر نامعقول بین
در دل هر مقبلی مقبول بین

همچنان کز بیم آدم دیو و دد
در جزایر در رمیدند از حسد

هم ز بیم معجزات انبیا
سر کشیده منکران زیر گیا

تا به ناموس مسلمانی زیند
در تسلس تا ندانی که کیند

همچو قلابان بر آن نقد تباه
نقره می مالند و نام پادشاه

ظاهر الفاظشان توحید و شرع
باطن آن همچو در نان تخم صرع

فلسفی را زهره نه تا دم زند
دم زند دین حقش بر هم زند

دست و پای او جماد و جان او
هر چه گوید آن دو در فرمان او

با زبانشان گرچه تهمت می نهند
دست و پاهاشان گواهی می دهند

English translation

The Hannanah pillar, due to separation from the Messenger, was moaning like those possessed of intellect. The Prophet said, 'What do you desire, O pillar?' It said, 'My soul has turned to blood in separation from you; I was your support, you have departed from me, and you have made a support upon the pulpit.' He said, 'Do you wish that they make you a palm tree, so that the people of the East and West may gather fruit from you? Or in that other world, God make you a cypress, so that you remain fresh and green forever?' It said, 'I want that whose endurance is eternal.' Listen, O heedless one! Be not less than a piece of wood. He buried that pillar in the earth, so that it may be resurrected on the Day of Judgment like human beings. So that you may know that whomever God calls, remains free and detached from all the work of the world. Whoever has his business and work with God, found admission there and went out of other business. He who has not been given a share of the divine secrets, how should he believe the moaning of inanimate matter? He says 'yes' with his tongue, not from his heart, merely for agreement, so that they may not say he is a hypocrite. If it were not for those aware of the divine command 'Be!' (Kun), this saying would have been rejected in the world. Hundreds of thousands of those who follow imitation and outward signs, half a suspicion casts them into doubt; Because their imitation and intellectual arguments are based on opinion, and that is their entire wings and feathers. A doubt is raised by that base Satan, and all these blind ones fall headlong. The leg of those who rely on intellectual reasoning is wooden; and a wooden leg is extremely infirm. Except for the spiritual Pole of the age, the possessor of insight, at whose steadfastness the mountain becomes amazed. The foot of the blind man is a staff, indeed a staff, so that he may not fall headlong upon the pebbles. That rider who became the victory of the army—who is the king of sight for the people of religion? If the blind have seen the road with a staff, they did so under the protection of clear-sighted people. If there were no clear-sighted ones and kings, all the blind would have died in the world. From the blind comes neither sowing nor harvesting, nor construction, nor trade and profit. If His mercy and grace had not protected you, your wooden staff of reasoning would have broken. What is this staff? Analogical deductions and proofs. That staff which the All-Seeing and Majestic Lord gave them. Since the staff became an instrument of war and outcry, break that staff to pieces, O blind one! He gave you a staff so that you might come forward, yet in anger you struck Him with that very staff! O circle of the blind! What are you doing? Bring the watchman into your midst. Take hold of the robe of Him who gave you the staff; look at what Adam experienced because of the staff. Look at the miracles of Moses and Ahmad (Muhammad); how the staff became a serpent and the pillar became conscious. From the staff came a serpent, and from the pillar a moan; they beat the five-fold drum for the sake of religion. If this spiritual delight were not beyond rational comprehension, what need would there be for so many miracles? Whatever is rational, the intellect consumes it without any explanation of miracles, without any pulling or stretching. Behold this virgin path which is beyond rational comprehension, yet accepted and approved in the heart of every favored soul. Just as out of fear of Adam, demons and wild beasts fled to remote islands out of envy; Likewise, out of fear of the prophets' miracles, the deniers have pulled their heads under the grass (hidden themselves). So that they may live under the reputation of Islam, in simulation, so that you may not know who they are. Like counterfeiters, upon that worthless coin they rub silver and stamp the name of the king. The outward form of their words is Monotheism and religious Law, but the inward is like epilepsy seeds in bread. The philosopher does not have the courage to breathe a word; if he breathes a word, the true religion will overthrow him. Yet his hands and feet are inanimate, and his soul too; whatever He says, those two are under His command. Though they lay false accusations with their tongues, their hands and feet bear witness.
