Poem

در نعت رسول ص / In Praise of the Messenger

Original content

خواجهٔ دنیا و دین گنج وفا
صدر و بدر هر دو عالم مصطفی

آفتاب شرع و دریای یقین
نور عالم رحمة للعالمین

جان پاکان خاک جان پاک او
جان رها کن آفرینش خاک او

خواجهٔ کونین و سلطان همه
آفتاب جان و ایمان همه

صاحب معراج و صدر کاینات
سایهٔ حق خواجهٔ خورشید ذات

هر دو عالم بستهٔ فتراک او
عرش و کرسی قبله کرده خاک او

پیشوای این جهان و آن جهان
مقتدای آشکارا و نهان

مهترین و بهترین انبیا
رهنمای اصفیا و اولیا

مهدی اسلام و هادی سبل
مفتی غیب و امام جز و کل

خواجه ای کز هرچه گویم بیش بود
در همه چیز از همه در پیش بود

خویشتن را خواجهٔ عرصات گفت
انما انا رحمة مهدات گفت

هر دو گیتی از وجودش نام یافت
عرش نیز از نام او آرام یافت

همچو شبنم آمدند از بحر جود
خلق عالم بر طفیلش در وجود

نور او مقصود مخلوقات بود
اصل معدومات و موجودات بود

حق چو دید آن نور مطلق در حضور
آفرید از نور او صد بحر نور

بهر خویش آن پاک جان را آفرید
بهر او خلقی جهان را آفرید

آفرینش را جزو مقصود نیست
پاک دامن تر ازو موجود نیست

آنچه اول شد پدید از غیب غیب
بود نور پاک او بی هیچ ریب

بعد از آن آن نور عالی زد علم
گشت عرش و کرسی و لوح و قلم

یک علم از نور پاکش عالمست
یک علم ذریتیست و آدمست

چون شد آن نور معظم آشکار
در سجود افتاد پیش کردگار

قرنها اندر سجود افتاده بود
عمرها اندر رکوع استاده بود

سالها بودند مشغول قیام
در تشهد بود هم عمری تمام

از نماز نور آن دریای راز
فرض شد بر جملهٔ امت نماز

حق بداشت آن نور را چون مهر و ماه
در برابر بی جهت تا دیرگاه

پس به دریای حقیقت ناگهی
برگشاد آن نور را ظاهر رهی

چون بدید آن نور روی بحر راز
جوش در وی اوفتاد از عزو ناز

در طلب بر خود بگشت او هفت بار
هفت پرگار فلک شد آشکار

هر نظر کز حق بسوی او رسید
کوکبی گشت و طلب آمد پدید

بعد از آن نور پاک آرام یافت
عرش عالی گشت و کرسی نام یافت

عرش و کرسی عکس ذاتش خاستند
بس ملایک از صفاتش خاستند

گشت از انفاسش انوار آشکار
وز دل پر فکرش اسرار آشکار

سر روح از عالم فکرست و بس
بس نفخت فیه من روحی نفس

چون شد آن انفاس و آن اسرار جمع
زین سبب ارواح شد بسیار جمع

چون طفیل نور او آمد امم
سوی کل مبعوث از آن شد لاجرم

گشت او مبعوث تا روز شمار
از برای کل خلق روزگار

چون به دعوت کرد شیطان را طلب
گشت شیطانش مسلمان زین سبب

کرد دعوت هم به اذن کردگار
جنیان را لیلة الجن آشکار

قدسیان را با رسل بنشاند نیز
جمله رایک شب به دعوت خواند نیز

دعوت حیوان چو کرد او آشکار
شاهدش بزغاله بود و سوسمار

داعی بتهای عالم بود هم
سرنگون گشتند پیشش لاجرم

داعی ذرات بود آن پاک ذات
در کفش تسبیح زان کردی حصات

ز انبیا این زینت وین عز که یافت
دعوت کل امم هرگز که یافت

نور او چون اصل موجودات بود
ذات او چون معطی هر ذات بود

واجب آمد دعوت هر دو جهانش
دعوت ذرات پیدا و نهانش

جزو و کل چون امت او آمدند
خوشه چین همت او آمدند

روزحشر از بهر مشتی بی عمل
امتی او گوید و بس زین قبل

حق برای جان آن شمع هدی
می فرستد امت او را فدی

در همه کاری چو او بود اوستاد
کار اوست آنرا که این کار اوفتاد

گرچ او هرگز به چیزی ننگریست
بهر هر چیزیش می باید گریست

در پناه اوست موجودی که هست
وز رضای اوست مقصودی که هست

پیرعالم اوست در هر رسته ای
هرچ ازو بگذشت خادم دسته ای

آنچ از خاصیت او بود و بس
آن کجا در خواب بیند هیچ کس

خویش را کل دید و کل را خویش دید
هم چنانک از پس بدید از پیش دید

ختم کرده حق نبوت را برو
معجز و خلق و فتوت را برو

دعوتش فرمود بهر خاص و عام
نعمت خود را برو کرده تمام

کافران را داده مهلت در عقاب
نا فرستاده به عهد او عذاب

کرده در شب سوی معراجش روان
سر کل با او نهاده در نهان

بوده از عز و شرف ذوالقلتین
ظل بی ظلی او در خافقین

هم ز حق بهتر کتابی یافته
هم کل کل بی حسابی یافته

امهات مؤمنین ازواج او
احترام مرسلین معراج او

انبیا پس رو بدند او پیشوا
عالمان امتش چون انبیا

حق تعالاش از کمال احترام
برده در توریت و در انجیل نام

سنگی از وی قدر و رفعت یافته
پس یمین الله خلعت یافته

قبله گشته خاک او از حرمتش
مسخ منسوخ آمده در امتش

بعثت او سرنگونی بتان
امت او بهترین امتان

کرده چاهی خشک را در خشک سال
قطرهٔ آب دهانش پر زلال

ماه از انگشت او بشکافته
مهر در فرمانش از پس تافته

بر میان دو کتف او خورشیدوار
داشته مهر نبوت آشکار

گشته در خیر البلاد او رهنمون
و هو خیرالخلق فی خیر القرون

کعبه زو تشریف بیت الله یافت
گشت ایمن هرکه در وی راه یافت

جبرئیل از دست او شد خرقه دار
در لباس دحیه زان گشت آشکار

خاک در عهدش قوی تر چیز یافت
مسجدی یافت و طهوری نیز یافت

سر یک یک ذره چون بودش عیان
امی آمد کو ز دفتر بر مخوان

چون زفان حق زفان اوست پس
بهترین عهدی زمان اوست پس

روز محشر محو گردد سر به سر
جز زفان او زفانهای دگر

تا دم آخر که بر می گشت حال
شوق کرد از حضرت عزت سؤال

چون دلش بی خود شدی در بحر راز
جوش او میلی برفتی در نماز

چون دل او بود دریای شگرف
جوش بسیاری زند دریای ژرف

در شدن گفته ارحنا یا بلال
تا برون آیم ازین ضیق خیال

باز در باز آمدن آشفته او
کلمینی یا حمیرا گفته او

زان شد آمد چون بیندیشد خرد
می ندانم تا برد یک جان ز صد

عقل را در خلوت او راه نیست
علم نیز از وقت او آگاه نیست

چون به خلوت جشن سازد با خلیل
گر بسوزد در نگنجد جبرئیل

چون شود سیمرغ جانش آشکار
موسی از دهشت شود موسیجه وار

رفت موسی بر بساط آن جناب
خلع نعلین آمدش از حق خطاب

چو به نزدیک او شد از نعلین دور
گشت در وادی المقدس غرق نور

باز در معراج شمع ذوالجلال
می شنود آواز نعلین بلال

موسی عمران اگر چه بود شاه
هم نبود آنجاش با نعلین راه

این عنایت بین که بهر جاه او
کرد حق با چاکر درگاه او

چاکرش را کرد مرد کوی خویش
داد با نعلین راهش سوی خویش

موسی عمران چو آن رتبت بدید
چاکر او را چنان قربت بدید

گفت یا رب ز امت او کن مرا
در طفیل همت او کن مرا

گرچه موسی خواست این حاجت مدام
لیک عیسی یافت این عالی مقام

لاجرم چون ترک آن خلوت کند
خلق را بر دین او دعوت کند

با زمین آید ز چارم آسمان
روی بر خاکش نهد جان بر میان

هندو او شد مسیح نامدار
زان مبشر نام کردش کردگار

گر کسی گوید کسی می بایدی
کو چو رفتی زان جهان باز آیدی

برگشادی مشکل ما یک به یک
تا نماندی در دل ما هیچ شک

باز نامد کس ز پیدا و نهان
در دو عالم جز محمد زان جهان

آنچ او آنجا ببینایی رسید
هر نبی آنجا به دانایی رسید

چون لعمرک تاج آمد بر سرش
کوه حالی چون کمر شد بر درش

اوست سلطان و طفیل او همه
اوست دایم شاه و خیل او همه

چون جهان از موی او پر مشک شد
بحر را زان تشنگی لب خشک شد

کیست کو نه تشنهٔ دیدار اوست
تا به چوب و سنگ غرق کار اوست

چون به منبر برشد آن دریای نور
نالهٔ حنانه می شد دور دور

آسمان بی ستون پر نور شد
و آن ستون از فرقتش رنجور شد

وصف او در گفت چون آید مرا
چون عرق از شرم خون آید مرا

او فصیح عالم و من لال او
کی توانم داد شرح حال او

وصف او کی لایق این ناکس است
واصف او خالق عالم بس است

ای جهان با رتبت خود خاک تو
صد جهان جان خاک جان پاک تو

انبیا در وصف تو حیران شده
سرشناسان نیز سرگردان شده

ای طفیل خندهٔ تو آفتاب
گریهٔ تو کار فرمای سحاب

هر دو گیتی گرد خاک پای تست
در گلیمی خفته ای، چه جای تست

سر برآور از گلیمت ای کریم
پس فرو کن پای بر قدر گلیم

محو شد شرع همه در شرع تو
اصل جمله کم ببود از فرع تو

تا ابد شرع تو و احکام تست
هم بر نام الهی نام تست

هرک بود از انبیا و از رسل
جمله با دین تو آیند از سبل

چون نیامد پیش، پیش از تو یکی
از پس تو باید آمد بی شکی

هم پس و هم پیش از عالم توی
سابق و آخر به یک جا هم توی

نه کسی در گرد تو هرگز رسد
نه کسی رانیز چندین عز رسد

خواجگی هر دو عالم تاابد
کرد وقف احمد مرسل احد

یا رسول الله بس درمانده ام
باد در کف ، خاک بر سر مانده ام

بی کسانرا کس تویی در هر نفس
من ندارم در دو عالم جز تو کس

یک نظر سوی من غم خواره کن
چارهٔ کار من بی چاره کن

گرچه ضایع کرده ام عمر از گناه
توبه کردم عذر من از حق بخواه

گر ز لاتأمن بود ترسی مرا
هست از لاتيأسوا درسی مرا

روز و شب بنشسته در صد ماتمم
تا شفاعت خواه باشی یک دمم

از درت گر یک شفاعت در رسد
معصیت را مهر طاعت در رسد

ای شفاعت خواه مشتی تیره روز
لطف کن شمع شفاعت برفروز

تا چو پروانه میان جمع تو
پرزنان آئیم پیش شمع تو

هرک شمع تو ببیند آشکار
جان به طبع دل دهد پروانه وار

دیدهٔ جان را لقای تو بس است
هر دو عالم را رضای تو بس است

داروی درد دل من مهرتست
نور جانم آفتاب چهرتست

بر درت جان بر میان دارم کمر
گوهر تیغ زفان من نگر

هر گهر کان از زفان افشانده ام
در رهت از قعر جان افشانده ام

زان شدم از بحر جان گوهرفشان
کز تو بحر جان من دارد نشان

تا نشانی یافت جان من ز تو
بی نشانی شد نشان من ز تو

حاجتم آنست ای عالی گهر
کز سر فضلی کنی در من نظر

زان نظر در بی نشانی داریم
بی نشانی جاودانی داریم

زین همه پندار و شرک و ترهات
پاک گردانی مرا ای پاک ذات

از گنه رویم نگردانی سیاه
حق هم نامی من داری نگاه

طفل راه تو منم غرقه شده
گرد من آب سیه حلقه شده

English translation

Master of the world and of religion, treasure of loyalty, The chief and full moon of both worlds, Mustafa. The sun of the law and the sea of certainty, Light of the world, mercy to the worlds. The soul of the pure is the dust of his pure soul, Forget the soul, all of creation is his dust. Master of both worlds and sultan of all, Sun of the soul and of the faith of all. Lord of the Ascension and chief of all beings, Shadow of God, master of the solar essence. Both worlds are tied to his saddle-strap, The Throne and the Pedestal have made his dust their direction of prayer. Leader of this world and the next world, The guide of the manifest and the hidden. The greatest and best of the prophets, The guide of the pure and the saints. The Mahdi of Islam and the guide of the paths, The Mufti of the unseen and the Imam of the part and the whole. A master who was more than anything I could say, Who was ahead of everyone in everything. He called himself the master of the plains of resurrection, He said: 'Indeed, I am a gifted mercy.' Both worlds found their name through his existence, The Throne also found peace through his name. Like dew from the ocean of generosity, The creation of the world came into existence for his sake. His light was the purpose of all creatures, He was the origin of non-existences and existences. When the Truth saw that absolute light in His presence, He created a hundred oceans of light from his light. For Himself He created that pure soul, For his sake He created the creation of the world. Creation has no other purpose but him, There is no being more pure-skirted than him. What first appeared from the unseen of the unseen Was his pure light, without any doubt. After that, that exalted light raised its standard, And became the Throne, the Pedestal, the Tablet, and the Pen. One standard of his pure light is the universe, One standard is the progeny and Adam. When that glorious light became manifest, It fell in prostration before the Creator. For centuries it was fallen in prostration, For lifetimes it stood in bowing. For years they were busy standing, And in testifying was a whole lifetime spent. From the prayer of the light of that ocean of mystery, Prayer was made obligatory upon the entire community. The Truth kept that light like the sun and the moon Opposite Him, without direction, for a long time. Then, into the sea of reality, suddenly, A manifest path opened for that light. When that light saw the face of the sea of mystery, Boiling fell into it from glory and pride. In seeking, it turned around itself seven times, And the seven compasses of the heavens became manifest. Every glance that reached it from the Truth Became a star, and seeking became manifest. After that, the pure light found peace, It became the exalted Throne and was named the Pedestal. The Throne and the Pedestal arose as reflections of his essence, And many angels arose from his attributes. From his breaths, lights became manifest, And from his thoughtful heart, secrets became manifest. The secret of the spirit is from the realm of thought alone, 'And I breathed into him of My spirit' was but a single breath. When those breaths and those secrets were gathered, For this reason, spirits became gathered in abundance. Since the nations came for the sake of his light, He was sent to the whole, of necessity, therefore. He was sent until the Day of Reckoning, For all the creation of the world. When he summoned Satan to his call, Satan became a Muslim because of this. He also summoned, by the Creator's permission, The Jinns on the Night of Jinn, manifestly. He also seated the holy ones with the messengers, And invited them all to the feast in one night. When he made the call of the animals manifest, His witness was a kid and a lizard. He was also the caller of the idols of the world, They fell prostrate before him, of necessity. That pure essence was the caller of the atoms, Therefore the pebbles in his hand sang praises. Who among the prophets found this ornament and glory? Who ever found the calling of all nations? Since his light was the origin of existences, Since his essence was the giver of every essence, It was necessary to invite both his worlds, And to invite his atoms, manifest and hidden. Since the part and the whole became his community, They became the gleaners of his aspiration. On the Day of Resurrection, for the sake of a handful of deedless ones, He will say 'My community' and nothing else. The Truth, for the sake of the soul of that candle of guidance, Sends ransom for his community. Since he was the master in every work, His work is for him to whom this work has fallen. Though he never looked at anything, For everything one must weep for him. In his shelter is every being that exists, And from his pleasure is every purpose that exists. He is the elder of the world in every guild, Whatever passed from him is a servant of a group. That which was of his special property alone, Where can anyone see it even in a dream? He saw himself as the whole and the whole as himself, Just as he saw from behind, he saw from before. God sealed prophethood upon him, And miracles, character, and chivalry upon him. He ordered him to call both the elite and the common, Completing His favor upon him. Giving the disbelievers respite in punishment, Not sending down torment in his era. Making him journey by night towards his ascension, Placing the secret of the whole with him in secret. Being, of glory and honor, the owner of two vessels, His shadowless shadow in the east and the west. Also finding a better book from the Truth, Also finding the whole of the whole without measure. The mothers of the believers are his spouses, The respect of the messengers is his ascension. The prophets were his followers and he was the leader, The scholars of his community are like prophets. God Almighty, out of perfect respect, Mentioned his name in the Torah and the Gospel. A stone found value and elevation from him, Then received the robe of the Right Hand of God. His dust became the direction of prayer out of respect for him, Metamorphosis was abrogated in his community. His mission was the overthrowing of the idols, His community is the best of communities. He made a dry well in a dry year Into sweet water with a drop of his saliva. The moon was split by his finger, The sun shone back at his command. Between his two shoulders, like the sun, He had the seal of prophethood manifest. He became the guide in the best of lands, 'And he is the best of creation in the best of epochs.' The Kaaba received the honor of the House of God through him, And whoever entered it became safe. Gabriel became a frock-wearer from his hand, And in the clothing of Dihyah he became manifest. The dust in his era found the strongest thing, It found a mosque and a means of purification. Since the secret of every single atom was clear to him, He came as an unlettered one who does not read from a book. Since the tongue of God is his tongue, Therefore the best era is his time. On the Day of Resurrection, all will be erased, Except for his language, other languages. Until the last breath when his state was changing, Yearning made a request to the Presence of Glory. When his heart became ecstatic in the sea of mystery, His boiling overflowed into prayer. Since his heart was a magnificent sea, A deep sea boils in abundance. In entering, he said: 'Relieve us, O Bilal, So that I may emerge from this constriction of imagination.' Then, upon returning, he was agitated, Saying: 'Speak to me, O Humayra.' From that coming and going, when intellect reflects, I do not know if one soul in a hundred will survive. Intellect has no way into his privacy, Nor is knowledge aware of his time. When he holds a feast in private with the Friend, Even Gabriel, if he should burn, would not fit in. When the Simorgh of his soul becomes manifest, Moses, out of terror, becomes like a little pipit. Moses went upon the carpet of that threshold, And the address 'Take off your sandals' came from the Truth. When he became far from his sandals near Him, He became drowned in light in the sacred valley. Yet, on the ascension of the candle of the Lord of Glory, He hears the sound of Bilal's sandals. Although Moses, son of Imran, was a king, He had no path there with his sandals. See this grace that for the sake of his rank, God did with the servant of his threshold. He made his servant a man of His own lane, And gave him path with his sandals towards Himself. When Moses, son of Imran, saw that rank, And saw his servant with such proximity, He said: 'O Lord, make me of his community, And place me in the shadow of his aspiration.' Although Moses sought this need constantly, Yet Jesus found this exalted station. Therefore, when he leaves that solitude, He will call the people to his religion. He will come to the earth from the fourth heaven, He will lay his face on his dust and put his soul in the middle. The famous Messiah became his servant, Therefore the Creator named him the bringer of glad tidings. If anyone says: 'Someone should exist, Who, when he departed from that world, would return, And solve our problems one by one, So that no doubt would remain in our hearts,' No one returned from the manifest and the hidden In both worlds, except Muhammad from that world. What he reached there by seeing, Every prophet reached there by knowing. When the crown of 'By thy life' came upon his head, The mountain immediately became a belt at his door. He is the sultan and all are for his sake, He is forever the king and all are his army. When the world became filled with musk from his hair, The sea's lip became dry from that thirst. Who is it that is not thirsty for his sight, So that even wood and stone are drowned in his work? When that sea of light went up to the pulpit, The moaning of the Hannanah column was heard far and wide. The pillarless sky became full of light, And that pillar became sick from separation from him. How can his description come into my speech, When sweat of shame turns to blood for me? He is the eloquent one of the world, and I am his mute, How can I give an explanation of his state? How is his description worthy of this worthless one? The Creator of the world is sufficient as his describer. O world, with all your rank, you are his dust...
