دفتر سوم - بخش ۲۱۸ - سر آنک بی‌مراد بازگشتن رسول علیه السلام از حدیبیه حق تعالی لقب آن فتح کرد کی انا فتحنا کی به صورت غلق بود و به معنی فتح چنانک شکستن مشک به ظاهر شکستن است و به معنی درست کردنست مشکی او را و تکمیل فواید اوست / Book Three - Section 218 - The Secret of Why God Almighty Named the Disappointed Return of the Messenger, Peace Be Upon Him, from Hudaybiyyah a Victory (Verily We Have Granted You a Manifest Victory), Which in Appearance Was a Closure but in Meaning a Victory, Just as Breaking a Musk-Pod is Outwardly a Breaking but in Meaning It is Making It Whole and Perfecting Its Benefits

Original content

آمدش پیغام از دولت که رو
تو ز منع این ظفر غمگین مشو

کاندرین خواری نقدت فتحهاست
نک فلان قلعه فلان بقعه تراست

بنگر آخر چونک واگردید تفت
بر قریظه و بر نضیر از وی چه رفت

قلعه‌ها هم گرد آن دو بقعه‌ها
شد مسلم وز غنایم نفعها

ور نباشد آن تو بنگر کین فریق
پر غم و رنجند و مفتون و عشیق

زهر خواری را چو شکر می‌خورند
خار غمها را چو اشتر می‌چرند

بهر عین غم نه از بهر فرج
این تسافل پیش ایشان چون درج

آنچنان شادند اندر قعر چاه
که همی‌ترسند از تخت و کلاه

هر کجا دلبر بود خود همنشین
فوق گردونست نه زیر زمین

English translation

A message came to him from Divine Fortune: "Go on, Do not grieve over being barred from this victory. For in this humiliation there are immediate conquests for you — Behold, such-and-such fortress, such-and-such place is yours.

Look, in the end, when he turned back swiftly, What came from him upon Qurayẓa and Naḍīr? The fortresses around both those places as well Were surrendered, and from the spoils came benefits.

And if that is not for you, look at this company: Full of grief and pain, they are enraptured and in love. They eat the poison of abasement as if it were sugar, They graze upon the thorns of sorrows like camels.

For the very essence of grief — not for relief — This descent before them is like a treasure coffer. So joyful are they in the depths of the pit That they fear the throne and the crown.

Wherever the Beloved is, there is one's companion — Above the celestial sphere, not beneath the earth."
