دفتر ششم - بخش ۶۰ - باز مکرر کردن صوفی سؤال را / Book Six - Section 60 - The Sufi Reiterating the Question

Original content

گفت صوفی قادرست آن مستعان
که کند سودای ما را بی زیان

آنک آتش را کند ورد و شجر
هم تواند کرد این را بی ضرر

آنک گل آرد برون از عین خار
هم تواند کرد این دی را بهار

آنک زو هر سرو آزادی کند
قادرست ار غصه را شادی کند

آنک شد موجود از وی هر عدم
گر بدارد باقیش او را چه کم

آنک تن را جان دهد تا حی شود
گر نمیراند زیانش کی شود

خود چه باشد گر ببخشد آن جواد
بنده را مقصود جان بی اجتهاد

دور دارد از ضعیفان در کمین
مکر نفس و فتنهٔ دیو لعین

English translation

The Sufi said, 'That Helper is capable of making our trade without loss. He who turns fire into roses and trees, can also make this without harm. He who brings forth the rose from the very essence of the thorn, can also turn this winter into spring. He by whom every cypress is made free, is capable of turning sorrow into joy. He from whom every non-existence became existent, if He keeps it eternal, what would He lack? He who gives soul to the body so it becomes alive, if He does not cause it to die, how would it harm Him? Indeed, what would it be if that Generous One bestows the soul's desire upon the servant without struggle? And keeps away from the weak, lying in ambush, the deceit of the ego and the temptation of the accursed devil?'
