دفتر دوم - بخش ۲۷ - آمدن دوستان به بیمارستان جهت پرسش ذاالنون مصری رحمة الله علیه / Book Two - Section 27 - The Coming of Friends to the Hospital to Visit Dhu al-Nun of Egypt, May God Have Mercy Upon Him

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

این چنین ذالنون مصری را فتادکاندرو شور و جنونی نو بزاد
It happened thus to Dhu al-Nun of Egypt,
That a new fervor and madness was born in him.
شور چندان شد که تا فوق فلکمی رسید از وی جگرها را نمک
The fervor became so great that up to the heaven above,
From it, salt reached the livers (hearts).
هین منه تو شور خود ای شوره خاکپهلوی شور خداوندان پاک
Beware, do not put your own turmoil, O salty earth,
Beside the fervor of the pure lords!
خلق را تاب جنون او نبودآتش او ریشهاشان می ربود
The people had no endurance for his madness,
His fire was snatching away their beards.
چونک در ریش عوام آتش فتادبند کردندش به زندانی نهاد
When the fire fell into the beards of the vulgar,
They bound him and put him in a prison.
نیست امکان واکشیدن این لگامگرچه زین ره تنگ می آیند عام
There is no possibility of drawing back this rein,
Although the vulgar are distressed by this path.
دیده این شاهان ز عامه خوف جانکین گره کورند و شاهان بی نشان
These kings have seen the fear of their lives from the vulgar,
For this group is blind and the kings are traceless.
چونک حکم اندر کف رندان بودلاجرم ذاالنون در زندان بود
Since the judgment is in the hands of the ruffians,
Inevitably Dhu al-Nun was in prison.
یکسواره می رود شاه عظیمدر کف طفلان چنین در یتیم
The mighty king rides forth alone,
Such an orphan pearl in the hands of children.
در چه؟ دریا نهان در قطره ایآفتابی مخفی اندر ذره ای
In what? An ocean hidden in a drop,
A sun concealed within a speck.
آفتابی خویش را ذره نمودواندک اندک روی خود را بر گشود
A sun showed itself as a speck,
And little by little unveiled its face.
جملهٔ ذرات در وی محو شدعالم از وی مست گشت و صحو شد
All the specks were annihilated in him,
The world became intoxicated by him and then sober.
چون قلم در دست غداری بودبی گمان منصور بر داری بود
When the pen is in the hand of a traitor,
Without doubt, Mansur will be on a gallows.
چون سفیهان راست این کار و کیالازم آمد یقتلون الانبیا
Since this affair and authority belong to the foolish,
It became necessary that "they slay the prophets."
انبیا را گفته قومی راه گماز سفه انا تطیرنا بکم
A people who had lost the way said to the prophets,
Out of foolishness, "We augur ill from you."
جهل ترسا بین امان انگیختهزان خداوندی که گشت آویخته
Behold the ignorance of the Christian, seeking protection,
From that Lord who was hanged!
چون بقول اوست مصلوب جهودپس مرورا امن کی تاند نمود
Since according to him He was crucified by the Jews,
Then how can He show protection to him?
چون دل آن شاه زیشان خون بودعصمت و انت فیهم چون بود
Since the heart of that king was bleeding because of them,
How could the protection of "And thou art among them" be?
زر خالص را و زرگر را خطرباشد از قلاب خاین بیشتر
Pure gold and the goldsmith have more danger,
From the treacherous counterfeiter.
یوسفان از رشک زشتان مخفی اندکز عدو خوبان در آتش می زیند
The Josephs are hidden from the envy of the ugly,
For from the enemy, the beautiful ones live in fire.
یوسفان از مکر اخوان در چهندکز حسد یوسف به گرگان می دهند
The Josephs are in the well from the deceit of their brothers,
For out of envy they give Joseph to the wolves.
از حسد بر یوسف مصری چه رفت؟این حسد اندر کمین گرگیست زفت
What befell the Egyptian Joseph from envy?
This envy is a huge wolf lying in ambush.
لاجرم زین گرگ، یعقوب حلیمداشت بر یوسف، همیشه خوف و بیم
Inevitably, from this wolf, the gentle Jacob,
Always had fear and dread for Joseph.
گرگ ظاهر گرد یوسف خود نگشتاین حسد در فعل از گرگان گذشت
The manifest wolf itself did not hover around Joseph,
This envy surpassed the wolves in action.
رحم کرد این گرگ وز عذر لبقآمده که انا ذهبنا نستبق
This wolf showed mercy and came with a clever excuse,
Saying, "We went off racing with one another."
صد هزاران گرگ را این مکر نیستعاقبت رسوا شود این گرگ بیست
A hundred thousand wolves do not have this deceit,
In the end, this wolf without a trace will be put to shame.
زانک حشر حاسدان روز گزندبی گمان بر صورت گرگان کنند
Because the resurrection of the envious on the day of harm,
Without doubt, they will be resurrected in the form of wolves.
حشر پر حرص خس مردارخوارصورت خوکی بود روز شمار
The resurrection of the greedy, carrion-eating wretch,
Will be in the form of a pig on the day of reckoning.
زانیان را گند اندام نهانخمرخواران را بود گند دهان
For adulterers there is a stench of the hidden parts,
For wine-drinkers there is a stench of the mouth.
گند مخفی کان به دلها می رسیدگشت اندر حشر محسوس و پدید
The hidden stench that was reaching the hearts,
Became sensible and visible at the resurrection.
بیشه ای آمد وجود آدمیبر حذر شو زین وجود ار زان دمی
The existence of man is a forest,
Beware of this existence if you are of that breath.
در وجود ما هزاران گرگ و خوکصالح و ناصالح و خوب و خشوک
In our existence there are thousands of wolves and pigs,
Righteous and unrighteous, and good and base.
حکم آن خو راست کان غالبترستچونک زر بیش از مس آمد آن زرست
The judgment belongs to that disposition which is more dominant,
When gold is more than copper, it is gold.
سیرتی کان بر وجودت غالبستهم بر آن تصویر حشرت واجبست
The character that is dominant over your existence,
In that same image your resurrection is necessary.
ساعتی گرگی در آید در بشرساعتی یوسف رخی همچون قمر
One hour a wolf enters into man,
One hour a face like Joseph's, like the moon.
می رود از سینه ها در سینه هااز ره پنهان صلاح و کینه ها
It goes from breasts into breasts,
From the hidden path, righteousness and hatreds.
بلک خود از آدمی در گاو و خرمی رود دانایی و علم و هنر
Nay, rather, from man into the ox and the ass,
Goes wisdom and knowledge and skill.
اسپ سکسک می شود رهوار و رامخرس بازی می کند بز هم سلام
The stumbling horse becomes ambling and docile,
The bear dances and the goat also bows.
رفت اندر سگ ز آدمیان هوستا شبان شد یا شکاری یا حرس
The desire of men went into the dog,
Until it became a shepherd or a hunter or a guard.
در سگ اصحاب خویی زان وفودرفت تا جویای الله گشته بود
In the dog of the Companions, a disposition from those people,
Entered, until it became a seeker of God.
هر زمان در سینه نوعی سر کندگاه دیو و گه ملک گه دام و دد
Every moment a species rears its head in the breast,
Sometimes a demon, sometimes an angel, sometimes a wild beast and a domesticated animal.
زان عجب بیشه که هر شیر آگهستتا به دام سینه ها پنهان رهست
From that wondrous forest which every lion knows,
There is a hidden path to the snare of the breasts.
دزدیی کن از درون مرجان جانای کم از سگ از درون عارفان
Steal a pearl from within the souls,
O you who are less than a dog, from within the gnostics!
چونک دزدی باری آن در لطیفچونک حامل می شوی باری شریف
Since you steal, at least steal that subtle pearl,
Since you carry a burden, at least a noble one.
