متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت پیغامبر مر آن بیمار راچون عیادت کرد یار زار را
The Prophet said to that sick man,
when he visited his wretched companion,
که مگر نوعی دعایی کرده‌ایاز جهالت زهربایی خورده‌ای
that perhaps you have uttered some kind of prayer
and from ignorance swallowed poison.
یاد آور چه دعا می‌گفته‌ایچون ز مکر نفس می‌آشفته‌ای
Recall what prayer you were saying
when you were troubled by the cunning of the nafs.
گفت یادم نیست الا همتیدار با من یادم آید ساعتی
He said: "I do not remember; only grant me your himma—
stay with me a moment and it will come to me."
از حضور نوربخش مصطفیپیش خاطر آمد او را آن دعا
From the light-bestowing presence of Muṣṭafā
that prayer came before his mind.
تافت زان روزن که از دل تا دلستروشنی که فرق حق و باطلست
A radiance shone through that window that runs from heart to heart—
the light that distinguishes truth from falsehood.
گفت اینک یادم آمد ای رسولآن دعا که گفته‌ام من بوالفضول
He said: "Now I remember, O Messenger,
that prayer which I, the meddlesome one, uttered:
چون گرفتار گنه می‌آمدمغرقه دست اندر حشایش می‌زدم
When I was falling into the snare of sin,
drowning, thrashing among the weeds,
از تو تهدید و وعیدی می‌رسیدمجرمان را از عذاب بس شدید
from You came threats and warnings
of punishment most severe for sinners.
مضطرب می‌گشتم و چاره نبودبند محکم بود و قفل ناگشود
I grew distressed, and there was no remedy;
the chain was firm and the lock would not open.
نی مقام صبر و نی راه گریزنی امید توبه نی جای ستیز
No place for patience, no path of escape,
no hope of repentance, no room to resist.
من چو هاروت و چو ماروت از حزنآه می‌کردم که ای خلاق من
Like Hārūt and Mārūt, I cried out in grief:
'O my Creator!'
از خطر هاروت و ماروت آشکارچاه بابل را بکردند اختیار
Openly, from peril, Hārūt and Mārūt
chose the pit of Babylon,
تا عذاب آخرت اینجا کشندگربزند و عاقل و ساحروشند
that they might bear here the punishment of the afterlife—
they are shrewd, wise, and wizard-like.
نیک کردند و بجای خویش بودسهل‌تر باشد ز آتش رنج دود
They did well, and it was fitting for them:
the pain of smoke is easier than the pain of fire.
حد ندارد وصف رنج آن جهانسهل باشد رنج دنیا پیش آن
The suffering of the next world is beyond all description;
the pain of this world is easy beside it.
ای خنک آن کو جهادی می‌کندبر بدن زجری و دادی می‌کند
Happy is he who wages jihad,
who chastises his body and exacts its due,
تا ز رنج آن جهانی وا رهدبر خود این رنج عبادت می‌نهد
that he may be freed from the suffering of the next world—
he lays upon himself the hardship of worship.
من همی‌گفتم که یا رب آن عذابهم درین عالم بران بر من شتاب
I kept saying: 'O Lord, hasten that punishment
upon me in this very world,
تا در آن عالم فراغت باشدمدر چنین درخواست حلقه می‌زدم
so that in that world I may have ease.'
I kept knocking at the door with such a plea.
این چنین رنجوریی پیدام شدجان من از رنج بی آرام شد
Such an illness appeared to me;
my soul grew restless from the pain.
مانده‌ام از ذکر و از اوراد خودبی‌خبر گشتم ز خویش و نیک و بد
I have been left without my dhikr and my daily awrād,
grown unaware of myself and of good and evil.
گر نمی‌دیدم کنون من روی توای خجسته وی مبارک بوی تو
Had I not now seen your face,
O blessed one, O you of auspicious fragrance,
می‌شدم از بند من یکبارگیکردیم شاهانه این غمخوارگی
I would have slipped entirely from this bond—
you have shown me this kingly compassion."
گفت هی هی این دعا دیگر مکنبر مکن تو خویش را از بیخ و بن
He said: "Hush! Hush! Do not utter such a prayer again;
do not uproot yourself from root and foundation!
تو چه طاقت داری ای مور نژندکه نهد بر تو چنان کوه بلند
What endurance have you, O wretched ant,
that such a great mountain should be placed upon you?"
گفت توبه کردم ای سلطان که مناز سر جلدی نلافم هیچ فن
He said: "I repent, O Sultan—I shall not
boast of any skill out of rash boldness.
این جهان تیهست و تو موسی و مااز گنه در تیه مانده مبتلا
This world is a tīh, and you are Moses, and we
are left afflicted in the wilderness because of our sins.
قوم موسی راه می‌پیموده‌اندآخر اندر گام اول بوده‌اند
The people of Moses kept measuring the road,
yet in the end they were still at the first step.
سالها ره می‌رویم و در اخیرهمچنان در منزل اول اسیر
For years we travel the road, and in the end
we are still captive at the first station.
گر دل موسی ز ما راضی بدیتیه را راه و کران پیدا شدی
If Moses's heart had been content with us,
the way out and the edge of the tīh would have appeared.
ور بکل بیزار بودی او ز ماکی رسیدی خوانمان هیچ از سما
And if he had been utterly disgusted with us,
how would any heavenly table have reached us?
کی ز سنگی چشمه‌ها جوشان شدیدر بیابان‌مان امان جان شدی
How would springs have gushed from rock,
becoming the safety of our souls in the wilderness?
بل به جای خوان خود آتش آمدیاندرین منزل لهب بر ما زدی
Rather, instead of the table, fire would have come;
in this station its flame would have blazed upon us.
چون دو دل شد موسی اندر کار ماگاه خصم ماست و گاهی یار ما
Since Moses has become of two hearts regarding us—
sometimes our adversary, sometimes our friend—
خشمش آتش می‌زند در رخت ماحلم او رد می‌کند تیر بلا
his anger sets fire to our goods,
while his forbearance turns back the arrows of affliction.
کی بود که حلم گردد خشم نیزنیست این نادر ز لطفت ای عزیز
When will forbearance also turn to anger?
This is not strange from your grace, O Beloved.
مدح حاضر وحشتست از بهر ایننام موسی می‌برم قاصد چنین
Praising the one who is present creates awe—for this reason
I mention the name of Moses as my intermediary.
ورنه موسی کی روا دارد که منپیش تو یاد آورم از هیچ تن
Otherwise, when would Moses permit me
to mention any other person before you?
عهد ما بشکست صد بار و هزارعهد تو چون کوه ثابت بر قرار
Our covenant has broken a hundred times, a thousand times;
your covenant stands firm as a mountain.
عهد ما کاه و به هر بادی زبونعهد تو کوه و ز صد که هم فزون
Our covenant is straw, overcome by every wind;
your covenant is a mountain, surpassing a hundred mountains.
حق آن قوت که بر تلوین مارحمتی کن ای امیر لونها
By the right of that power that endures our inconstancy,
have mercy, O Prince of all hues!
خویش را دیدیم و رسوایی خویشامتحان ما مکن ای شاه بیش
We have seen ourselves and our disgrace;
test us no more, O King!
تا فضیحتهای دیگر را نهانکرده باشی ای کریم مستعان
So that other shames may remain hidden—
O Generous One, sought for help!
بی‌حدی تو در جمال و در کمالدر کژی ما بی‌حدیم و در ضلال
You are infinite in beauty and in perfection;
we are infinite in crookedness and in error.
بی حدی خویش بگمار ای کریمبر کژی بی حد مشتی لئیم
Set your own infinity to work, O Generous One,
against the infinite crookedness of this handful of wretches.
هین که از تقطیع ما یک تار ماندمصر بودیم و یکی دیوار ماند
Lo, of our being cut apart, one thread remains—
we were Egypt, and one wall remains.
البقیه البقیه ای خدیوتا نگردد شاد کلی جان دیو
Al-baqiyya! Al-baqiyya! O Sovereign!
Lest the soul of the devil rejoice utterly.
بهر ما نی بهر آن لطف نخستکه تو کردی گمرهان را باز جست
Not for our sake—but for the sake of that first grace
with which you sought out those who were lost.
چون نمودی قدرتت بنمای رحمای نهاده رحمها در لحم و شحم
Since you have shown your power, now show mercy,
O You who have placed mercies in flesh and fat.
این دعا گر خشم افزاید تراتو دعا تعلیم فرما مهترا
If this prayer increases your anger,
then teach me the prayer, O Master!
آنچنان کادم بیفتاد از بهشترجعتش دادی که رست از دیو زشت
Just as when Adam fell from Paradise,
you granted him a return, and he was saved from the ugly devil.
دیو کی بود کو ز آدم بگذردبر چنین نطعی ازو بازی برد
What was the devil that he could surpass Adam
and win a game from him on such a board?
در حقیقت نفع آدم شد همهلعنت حاسد شده آن دمدمه
In truth, all the benefit went to Adam;
the whispering of the envious one became a curse upon itself.
بازیی دید و دو صد بازی ندیدپس ستون خانهٔ خود را برید
He saw one move and did not see two hundred;
then he cut the pillar of his own house.
آنشی زد شب بکشت دیگرانباد آتش را بکشت او بران
He set a fire by night to kill others;
the wind blew that fire back upon him.
چشم‌بندی بود لعنت دیو راتا زیان خصم دید آن ریو را
The curse was a blindfold upon the devil,
so that the deceiver saw only his enemy's loss.
خود زیان جان او شد ریو اوگویی آدم بود دیو دیو او
His own deception became the loss of his soul;
one might say Adam became the devil of his devil.
لعنت این باشد که کژبینش کندحاسد و خودبین و پر کینش کند
This is the curse: that it makes one crooked-seeing,
envious, self-absorbed, and full of malice,
تا نداند که هر آنک کرد بدعاقبت باز آید و بر وی زند
so that one does not know that whoever does evil,
in the end it returns and strikes him.
جمله فرزین‌بندها بیند بعکسمات بر وی گردد و نقصان و وکس
He sees all the queen's gambits in reverse;
checkmate and loss and defeat fall upon him.
زانک گر او هیچ بیند خویش رامهلک و ناسور بیند ریش را
For if he were ever to see himself at all,
he would see his wound as deadly and festering.
درد خیزد زین چنین دیدن دروندرد او را از حجاب آرد برون
Pain arises from such inner seeing;
pain brings one out from behind the veil.
تا نگیرد مادران را درد زهطفل در زادن نیابد هیچ ره
Until mothers are seized by birth-pangs,
the child finds no way to be born.
این امانت در دل و دل حامله‌ستاین نصیحتها مثال قابله‌ست
This trust is within the heart, and the heart is pregnant;
these counsels are like the midwife.
قابله گوید که زن را درد نیستدرد باید درد کودک را رهیست
The midwife says: if the woman feels no pain,
pain is needed—pain is the road out for the child.
