متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بوالبشر کو علم الاسما بگستصد هزاران علمش اندر هر رگست
The father of mankind, who spread the Knowledge of the Names,
has hundreds of thousands of sciences in every vein.
اسم هر چیزی چنان کان چیز هستتا به پایان جان او را داد دست
The name of everything, exactly as that thing is,
was yielded to his soul unto the very end.
هر لقب کو داد آن مبدل نشدآنک چستش خواند او کاهل نشد
Whatever title he bestowed was not changed;
the one he called active did not become sluggish.
هر که اول مؤمن است اول بدیدهر که آخر کافر او را شد پدید
Whoever is a believer at the first, he saw at the first;
whoever is an infidel at the last became apparent to him.
اسم هر چیزی تو از دانا شنوسر رمز علم الاسما شنو
Hear from the Knower the name of everything;
hear the secret of the mystery of 'the Knowledge of the Names.'
اسم هر چیزی بر ما ظاهرشاسم هر چیزی بر خالق سرش
With us, the name of everything is its outward aspect;
with the Creator, the name of everything is its inward secret.
نزد موسی نام چوبش بد عصانزد خالق بود نامش اژدها
In the sight of Moses, the name of his wood was 'staff';
in the sight of the Creator, its name was 'dragon'.
بد عمر را نام اینجا بت پرستلیک مؤمن بود نامش در الست
The name of Umar was 'idol-worshipper' here;
but his name was 'believer' in the Covenant of Alast.
آنک بد نزدیک ما نامش منیپیش حق این نقش بد که با منی
That which is near to us, its name is 'semen';
before God, its form was 'that which is with Me'.
صورتی بود این منی اندر عدمپیش حق موجود نه بیش و نه کم
This semen was a form in non-existence;
present before God, neither more nor less.
حاصل آن آمد حقیقت نام ماپیش حضرت کان بود انجام ما
In conclusion, our true name
before the Divine Presence is that which will be our end.
مرد را بر عاقبت نامی نهدنی بر آن کو عاریت نامی نهد
He bestows a name upon a man based on his end,
not based on what borrows a name temporarily.
چشم آدم چون به نور پاک دیدجان و سر نام ها گشتش پدید
Since Adam's eye saw by the pure light,
the soul and secret of the names became apparent to him.
چون ملک انوار حق از وی بتافتدر سجود افتاد و در خدمت شتافت
Since the angels saw the lights of Truth shining from him,
they fell in prostration and hastened to serve him.
مدح این آدم که نامش می برمقاصرم گر تا قیامت بشمرم
The praise of this Adam whose name I mention,
I would fall short if I were to count it until Resurrection.
این همه دانست و چون آمد قضادانش یک نهی شد بر وی خطا
He knew all this, but when the Divine Decree arrived,
his knowledge of a single prohibition became an error for him.
کای عجب نهی از پی تحریم بودیا به تأویلی بد و توهیم بود
Saying, 'Oh wonder, was the prohibition for the sake of making it unlawful,
or was it subject to interpretation and a warning?'
در دلش تأویل چون ترجیح یافتطبع در حیرت سوی گندم شتافت
When interpretation gained preference in his heart,
his nature in bewilderment hastened toward the wheat.
باغبان را خار چون در پای رفتدزد فرصت یافت کالا برد تفت
When a thorn pierced the gardener's foot,
the thief found an opportunity and swiftly stole the goods.
چون ز حیرت رست باز آمد به راهدید برده دزد رخت از کارگاه
When he escaped from his bewilderment and returned to the path,
he saw the thief had taken the goods from the workshop.
ربنا انا ظلمنا گفت و آهیعنی آمد ظلمت و گم گشت راه
He said, 'Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves,' and sighed;
meaning, darkness came and the path was lost.
پس قضا ابری بود خورشیدپوششیر و اژدرها شود زو همچو موش
Therefore, the Divine Decree is a cloud covering the sun;
the lion and the dragon become like a mouse because of it.
من اگر دامی نبینم گاه حکممن نه تنها جاهلم در راه حکم
If I do not see a snare at the time of the Decree,
I am not the only ignorant one in the path of the Decree.
ای خنک آن کو نکوکاری گرفتزور را بگذاشت او ، زاری گرفت
Oh, happy is the one who adopted righteousness,
who let go of force and adopted supplication.
گر قضا پوشد سیه همچون شبتهم قضا دستت بگیرد عاقبت
If the Decree covers you in black like the night,
that same Decree will eventually take your hand.
گر قضا صد بار قصد جان کندهم قضا جانت دهد درمان کند
If the Decree makes an attempt on your life a hundred times,
that same Decree will give you life and heal you.
این قضا صد بار اگر راهت زندبر فراز چرخ خرگاهت زند
If this Decree strikes you on the road a hundred times,
it will pitch your tent above the sphere of heaven.
از کرم دان این که می ترساندتتا به ملک ایمنی بنشاندت
Know it is from grace that He frightens you,
so that He may seat you in the kingdom of safety.
این سخن پایان ندارد گشت دیرگوش کن تو قصهٔ خرگوش و شیر
This discourse has no end and it has grown late;
listen to the tale of the hare and the lion.
