Original content

بعد از آن صدیق پیش مصطفی
گفت حال آن بلال با وفا

کان فلک پیمای میمون بال چست
این زمان در عشق و اندر دام تست

باز سلطانست زان جغدان برنج
در حدث مدفون شدست آن زفت گنج

جغدها بر باز استم می کنند
پر و بالش بی گناهی می کنند

جرم او اینست کو بازست و بس
غیر خوبی جرم یوسف چیست پس

جغد را ویرانه باشد زاد و بود
هستشان بر باز زان زخم جهود

که چرا می یاد آری زان دیار
یا ز قصر و ساعد آن شهریار

در ده جغدان فضولی می کنی
فتنه و تشویش در می افکنی

مسکن ما را که شد رشک اثیر
تو خرابه خوانی و نام حقیر

شید آوردی که تا جغدان ما
مر ترا سازند شاه و پیشوا

وهم و سودایی دریشان می تنی
نام این فردوس ویران می کنی

بر سرت چندان زنیم ای بد صفات
که بگویی ترک شید و ترهات

پیش مشرق چارمیخش می کنند
تن برهنه شاخ خارش می زنند

از تنش صد جای خون بر می جهد
او احد می گوید و سر می نهد

پندها دادم که پنهان دار دین
سر بپوشان از جهودان لعین

عاشق است او را قیامت آمدست
تا در توبه برو بسته شدست

عاشقی و توبه یا امکان صبر
این محالی باشد ای جان بس سطبر

توبه کرم و عشق هم چون اژدها
توبه وصف خلق و آن وصف خدا

عشق ز اوصاف خدای بی نیاز
عاشقی بر غیر او باشد مجاز

زانک آن حسن زراندود آمدست
ظاهرش نور اندرون دود آمدست

چون رود نور و شود پیدا دخان
بفسرد عشق مجازی آن زمان

وا رود آن حسن سوی اصل خود
جسم ماند گنده و رسوا و بد

نور مه راجع شود هم سوی ماه
وا رود عکسش ز دیوار سیاه

پس بماند آب و گل بی آن نگار
گردد آن دیوار بی مه دیووار

قلب را که زر ز روی او بجست
بازگشت آن زر بکان خود نشست

پس مس رسوا بماند دود وش
زو سیه روتر بماند عاشقش

عشق بینایان بود بر کان زر
لاجرم هر روز باشد بیشتر

زانک کان را در زری نبود شریک
مرحبا ای کان زر لاشک فیک

هر که قلبی را کند انباز کان
وا رود زر تا بکان لامکان

عاشق و معشوق مرده ز اضطراب
مانده ماهی رفته زان گرداب آب

عشق ربانیست خورشید کمال
امر نور اوست خلقان چون ظلال

مصطفی زین قصه چون خوش برشکفت
رغبت افزون گشت او را هم به گفت

مستمع چون یافت هم چون مصطفی
هر سر مویش زبانی شد جدا

مصطفی گفتش که اکنون چاره چیست
گفت این بنده مر او را مشتریست

هر بها که گوید او را می خرم
در زیان و حیف ظاهر ننگرم

کو اسیر الله فی الارض آمده ست
سخرهٔ خشم عدو الله شده ست

English translation

After that, Siddiq (Abu Bakr) went to Mustafa (Muhammad) He described the state of that faithful Bilal, Saying, 'That swift, auspicious-winged falcon of the heavens Is currently captured by love and caught in your snare. He is a royal falcon suffering from those owls; That massive treasure is buried in filth. The owls are unjustly persecuting the falcon, Tearing out his feathers and wings though he is innocent. His only crime is that he is a falcon, and nothing else; What else was Joseph's crime but his beauty? The ruin is the birthplace and nature of the owl; Thus, they inflict Jewish-like malice on the falcon, Saying, Why do you remember that realm, Or the palace and the forearm of that King? You are meddling in the village of the owls, Stirring up sedition and unrest among us. Our dwelling, which is the envy of the highest heavens, You call a ruin and give it a despicable name. You have brought deception so that our owls Might make you their king and leader. You weave delusion and madness into them, And ruin the name of this paradise. We shall strike your head so much, O evil-natured one, That you will abandon this deception and nonsense.' Facing the East, they crucify him, And beat his naked body with thorny branches. From a hundred places on his body, blood spurts out, Yet he says 'Ahad' (One God) and submits his head. I gave him advice, saying, 'Keep your religion secret; Hide your inner state from the accursed Jews.' But he is a lover; for him the Resurrection has arrived, So the door of repentance has been closed to him. Being a lover, and repentance, or the possibility of patience? This is an absurdity, O my soul, a very gross one! Repentance is like a worm, while love is like a dragon; Repentance is an attribute of creatures, and that (Love) is an attribute of God. Love is one of the attributes of the needless God; Being in love with anything other than Him is metaphorical. Because that (worldly) beauty is merely gilded; Its exterior is light, but its interior is smoke. When the light departs and the smoke appears, Metaphorical love freezes at that moment. That beauty returns to its own origin, Leaving the body foul, disgraced, and bad. The light of the moon returns to the moon, And its reflection withdraws from the black wall. Then water and clay remain without that adornment; That wall without the moon becomes like a demon. The counterfeit coin from which the superficial gold has fled— That gold returned and settled back in its own mine. Then the disgraced copper remains looking like smoke, And its lover is left even more black-faced (disgraced) than it. The love of those who truly see is fixed upon the gold mine; Therefore, it increases every single day. Because the mine has no partner in producing gold; Welcome, O mine of gold, in whom there is no doubt! Whoever makes a counterfeit coin a partner to the mine, The gold will retreat to the placeless mine. The lover and beloved, dead from agitation, Are like a fish stranded when water has left the whirlpool. Divine love is the sun of perfection; The command is His light, and creatures are like shadows.' When Mustafa cheerfully bloomed at this story, His eagerness for the conversation also grew. When he (Abu Bakr) found a listener like Mustafa, Every hair on his head became a separate tongue. Mustafa asked him, 'What is the remedy now?' He replied, 'This servant is a buyer for him. Whatever price he names, I will buy him; I will not consider the apparent loss or unfairness. For he has become the captive of Allah on the earth; He is subjected to the wrath of the enemy of Allah.'
