دفتر سوم - بخش ۹۸ - اقتدا کردن قوم از پس دقوقی / Book Three - Section 98 - The Congregation Following Behind Daquqi

Original content

پیش در شد آن دقوقی در نماز
قوم همچون اطلس آمد او طراز

اقتدا کردند آن شاهان قطار
در پی آن مقتدای نامدار

چونک با تکبیرها مقرون شدند
همچو قربان از جهان بیرون شدند

معنی تکبیر اینست ای امام
کای خدا پیش تو ما قربان شدیم

وقت ذبح الله اکبر می‌کنی
همچنین در ذبح نفس کشتنی

تن چو اسمعیل و جان همچون خلیل
کرد جان تکبیر بر جسم نبیل

گشت کشته تن ز شهوتها و آز
شد به بسم الله بسمل در نماز

چون قیامت پیش حق صفها زده
در حساب و در مناجات آمده

ایستاده پیش یزدان اشک‌ریز
بر مثال راست‌خیز رستخیز

حق همی‌گوید چه آوردی مرا
اندرین مهلت که دادم من ترا

عمر خود را در چه پایان برده‌ای
قوت و قوت در چه فانی کرده‌ای

گوهر دیده کجا فرسوده‌ای
پنج حس را در کجا پالوده‌ای

چشم و هوش و گوش و گوهرهای عرش
خرج کردی چه خریدی تو ز فرش

دست و پا دادمت چون بیل و کلند
من ببخشیدم ز خود آن کی شدند

همچنین پیغامهای دردگین
صد هزاران آید از حضرت چنین

در قیام این کفتها دارد رجوع
وز خجالت شد دوتا او در رکوع

قوت استادن از خجلت نماند
در رکوع از شرم تسبیحی بخواند

باز فرمان می‌رسد بردار سر
از رکوع و پاسخ حق بر شمر

سر بر آرد از رکوع آن شرمسار
باز اندر رو فتد آن خام‌کار

باز فرمان آیدش بردار سر
از سجود و وا ده از کرده خبر

سر بر آرد او دگر ره شرمسار
اندر افتد باز در رو همچو مار

باز گوید سر بر آر و باز گو
که بخواهم جست از تو مو بمو

قوت پا ایستادن نبودش
که خطاب هیبتی بر جان زدش

پس نشیند قعده زان بار گران
حضرتش گوید سخن گو با بیان

نعمتت دادم بگو شکرت چه بود
دادمت سرمایه هین بنمای سود

رو بدست راست آرد در سلام
سوی جان انبیا و آن کرام

یعنی ای شاهان شفاعت کین لئیم
سخت در گل ماندش پای و گلیم

English translation

Daqūqī stepped forward into the prayer; The congregation came like satin, he like its gold border. Those kings aligned in rows, Following behind that renowned Imam. When they became joined in the takbīrs, They departed from the world like sacrificial offerings. The meaning of the takbīr is this, O Imam: "O God, before You we have become sacrifices." At the time of slaughter you cry "Allāhu Akbar"; So too in the slaughter of the nafs, the killable. The body is like Ismā'īl and the soul like Khalīl; The soul cried the takbīr over the noble body. The body was slain from lusts and greed; It was slaughtered with "Bismillāh" in prayer. As on the Day of Resurrection, standing in rows before the Truth, Having come to the reckoning and to intimate supplication— Standing before Yazdan, shedding tears, In the likeness of the upright rising of the Resurrection. God keeps saying: "What have you brought Me In this respite that I gave you? In what have you brought your life to its end? In what have you exhausted provision upon provision? Where have you worn away the jewel of sight? Where have you refined the five senses? Eyes and intellect and ears and the jewels of the Throne— You spent them: what did you buy from the earth? I gave you hands and feet like spade and pickaxe; I bestowed them from Myself—when did they become yours?" Likewise, messages of pain Come from the Divine Presence in hundreds of thousands like this. In the standing, these words have their reference, And from shame he became doubled over in the bowing. The strength to stand was lost from shame; In the rukū', from embarrassment, he recited a tasbīh. Again the command arrives: "Raise your head From the rukū' and enumerate an answer to God." That shamefaced one lifts his head from the rukū'— That raw one falls again upon his face. Again the command comes to him: "Raise your head From the sujūd and give account of what you have done." He raises his head again, shamefaced, Falls again on his face like a serpent. Again it says: "Raise your head and speak again, For I will seek from you, hair by hair." He had no strength in his legs to stand, For an awe-inspiring address had struck his soul. So he sits in the qa'da from that heavy burden; The Divine Presence says to him: "Speak clearly. I gave you blessings—say, what was your gratitude? I gave you capital—now, show the profit." He turns his face to the right hand in the salām, Toward the souls of the prophets and those noble ones— Meaning: "O kings, intercede for this wretch; His foot and his blanket are stuck fast in the mud."
