(۲) مناجات موسی با حق تعالی ودر خواستن او یکی از اولیا / (2) Moses's Supplication with the Almighty God and His Request for One of His Saints

Original content

بحق گفتا کلیم عالم آرای
کسیم از دوستان خویش بنمای

که تا روشن شود چشم برویش
که دل می سوزدم از آرزویش

خطاب آمد که ما را اهل دردی
بصدق اندر فلان وادیست مردی

که او از خاصگان درگه ماست
شبانروزی سلوکش در ره ماست

روانه شد کلیم از بهر دیدار
بدید آن مرد را مستغرق کار

نهاده نیم خشتی زیر سر در
پلاسی تا سر زانو ببر در

هزاران مور و زنبور و مگس نیز
برو گرد آمده از پیش و پس نیز

سلامش کرد موسی گفت آنگاه
که گر هستت بچیزی میل در خواه

بدو گفت ای نبی الله بشتاب
مرا از کوزه ات ده شربتی آب

چو موسی از پی کوزه روان شد
بیک دم از تن آن تشنه جان شد

چو آب آورد پیشش موسی پاک
بمرده دید او را روی بر خاک

کلیم الله تعجب کرد و برخاست
که تا کرباس و گور او کند راست

چو باز آمد دریده بود شیرش
دلش خورده شکم زو گشته سیرش

بجوش آمد دل موسی ازان درد
بسی دردش زیادت شد ازان مرد

زبان بگشاد کای دانندهٔ راز
گلی را تربیت دادی بصد ناز

کجا سررشتهٔ این سر توان یافت
که سر تو نه دل دید و نه جان یافت

بگوش جان ز حق آمد جوابش
که چون هر بار ما دادیم آبش

همان بهتر که چون هر بار این بار
ز دست ما خورد آب آن جگرخوار

لباس او چو ما دادیم پیوست
چگونه موسی آرد در میان دست

کنون چون واسطه آمد پدیدار
چرا کرد التفاتی سوی اغیار

چو دید از حضرت چون ما عزیزی
ز غیر ما چرا می خواست چیزی

چو پای غیر آمد در میانه
ربودیم از میانش جاودانه

ولی تا باز ندهد آشکاره
حساب آن پلاس و خشت پاره

بعز عز ما گر قدر موئی
ز ما بویش رسد از هیچ سوئی

عزیزا کار آسان نیست با او
سخن جز در دل و جان نیست با او

سخن با او چو درجان ودل آید
سخن آنجا ز دنیا مشکل آید

چو نتواند کسی بر جان قدم زد
به مردی بر کسی نتوان رقم زد

فلک را در صفش مشمر ز مردان
زنی پیرست چرخی کرده گردان

بهر چیزت چو صد پیوند باشد
ترا پیوند اصلی چند باشد

چو اینجا می کشد چندین نهنگت
چگونه بر فلک باشد درنگت

چو زنجیر زمین بر پای باشد
کجا بر آسمانت جای باشد

چو بر خیل سگان افتاد مهرت
چه بگشاید ز سکان سپهرت

کجا لایق بود در قدس پاکی
کرام الکاتبین با جرم خاکی

جمالی کان بزرگان را مباحست
چه جای ساکنان مستراحست

نه هر جانی بدان سر راه یابد
نه هر کس ای پسر آن جاه یابد

که در عالم هزاران جان درآید
که تا یک جان درین سر با سر آید

English translation

To the Truth, the world-adorning Speaker (Moses) said, "Show me one of Your friends," "So that my eyes may be brightened by his face, for my heart burns with the desire for him." The call came, "We have a man of pain, in sincerity in a certain valley," "Who is among the chosen of Our court, and day and night his spiritual journey is in Our way." Moses set out for the meeting and saw that man immersed in his state, Placing a half-brick under his head, and wearing a coarse wool cloak up to his knees. Thousands of ants, wasps, and flies had also gathered around him, before and behind. Moses greeted him and then said, "If you desire anything, ask for it." He replied, "O Prophet of God, hasten! Give me a draft of water from your flask." As Moses went to fetch the flask, in a single breath, the soul departed from the body of that thirsty man. When the pure Moses brought the water to him, he saw him lying dead, his face on the dust. Moses (the Speaker of God) was astonished and arose to prepare his shroud and grave. When he returned, a lion had torn him, eaten his heart, and sated its belly on him. Moses's heart boiled with that pain, and his grief for that man increased greatly. He opened his tongue and said, "O Knower of Secrets! You nurtured a flower with a hundred graces," "Where can the thread of this mystery be found? For neither heart nor soul could comprehend Your secret." To the ear of his soul came the response from the Truth, "Since we gave him water every time," "It is better that this time, like every other time, that liver-consumed one drinks water from Our hand." "Since we always provided his clothing, how could Moses interfere in this?" "Now that a mediator (intermediary) appeared, why did he pay attention to others?" "Since he saw a Beloved like Us, why did he request anything from anyone other than Us?" "Since the foot of another came in between, we snatched him away from the midst forever." "But until he openly renders a reckoning for that coarse cloak and piece of brick," "By the glory of Our glory, if even a hair's breadth, Our scent shall not reach him from any side." "O dear one, dealing with Him is not easy; there is no discourse except in the heart and soul." "When discourse with Him enters the soul and heart, speaking of the world there becomes difficult." "Since no one can step upon the soul, one cannot claim manliness over anyone." "Do not count the sphere of heaven among men in its rank; it is a turning old woman." "If you have a hundred attachments to everything, how many primary attachments do you have left?" "When so many crocodiles drag you down here, how can you abide in the heavens?" "When the chain of the earth is on your feet, how can your place be in heaven?" "When your affection falls upon a pack of dogs, what will open for you from the dwellers of the heavens?" "Where is the pure sanctuary suitable for the Noble Scribes (angels) alongside a dusty body of sin?" "The beauty that is lawful for those great ones, what place does it have for the dwellers of the latrine?" "Not every soul finds a way to that mystery, nor does everyone, O son, attain that high rank," "For thousands of souls enter the world, so that one soul may succeed in this mystery."
