دفتر سوم - بخش ۲۰۰ - عذر گفتن کدبانو با نخود و حکمت در جوش داشتن کدبانو نخود را / Book Three - Section 200 - The Lady Making Excuses to the Chickpea and the Wisdom in the Lady Keeping the Chickpea Boiling

Original content

آن ستی گوید ورا که پیش ازین
من چو تو بودم ز اجزای زمین

چون بنوشیدم جهاد آذری
پس پذیرا گشتم و اندر خوری

مدتی جوشیده ام اندر زمن
مدتی دیگر درون دیگ تن

زین دو جوشش قوت حسها شدم
روح گشتم پس ترا استا شدم

در جمادی گفتمی زان می دوی
تا شوی علم و صفات معنوی

چون شدم من روح پس بار دگر
جوش دیگر کن ز حیوانی گذر

از خدا می خواه تا زین نکته ها
در نلغزی و رسی در منتها

زانک از قرآن بسی گمره شدند
زان رسن قومی درون چه شدند

مر رسن را نیست جرمی ای عنود
چون ترا سودای سربالا نبود

English translation

That lady says to it: "Before this, I too was like you, of the parts of the earth.

When I drank in the fiery striving (jihād-i āzharī), then I became receptive and fitting.

For a time I boiled within time, and for another time within the cauldron of the body.

From these two boilings I became the power of the senses; I became spirit, then I became your master (ustā).

In the mineral state (jamādī) I said, 'That is why you flee — so that you may become knowledge and spiritual qualities.'

Since I have become spirit, now once more, boil again — pass beyond the animal state.

Ask of God that from these subtle points (nakta-hā) you do not slip and that you reach the utmost end.

For many went astray from the Quran; by that rope a people fell into the pit.

The rope has no fault, O stubborn one, since you had no desire to climb upward."
