در فضیلت فاروق رضی الله عنه / On the Virtue of Farooq, May Allah Be Pleased with Him

Original content

امام مطلق و شمع دو عالم
امیرالمؤمنین فاروق اعظم

چو حق را وفق نام او کلامست
ز فرقانست فاروق این تمامست

دلش چون دید حق را درحرمگاه
بدل پیوست عین عدل آنگاه

چو عین عدل ودل افتاد با هم
ز عدلش موج زن شد هر دو عالم

چو در دربست جاویدان ستم را
گشاد از عدل خود ملک عجم را

عرب از وی قوی شد اول کار
همه خلق عجم زو گشت دین دار

چو آهن گشت از صلبی او موم
گشاده کرد قفل رومی روم

دو پیراهن چنان خصم تنش بود
که در اسلام یک پیراهنش بود

چو در دین آمد او یک پیرهن داشت
چو آن یک برکشید این یک کفن داشت

ز بس کو پاره بر آن پیرهن دوخت
رسید آنجا که دلق هفده من دوخت

ز بار هفده او را آشکاره
رسد هجده هزارش پاره پاره

چو شد هجده هزارش گرد بر پاس
چرا از هفده من پوشید کرباس

چو آن یک پیرهن سامان اوداشت
حلاوة لاجرم ایمان او داشت

نکیر و منکر از مردی و زورش
نیارستند گشتن گرد گورش

چو باشد محتسب فاروق عالی
نگردد هیچ منکر در حوالی

چو باشد محتسب در امر معروف
به نهی منکر آید نیز موصوف

پیمبر چشم خود خواندش زهی قدر
چراغ خلد هم گفتش زهی صدر

چراغش کرده شرق و غرب روشن
که نه شرقیست ونه غربیش روغن

چو او چشم و چراغ آمد ز درگاه
تو بی چشم و چراغش چون روی راه

اگر نبود ترا چشم و چراغی
ز گلخن فرق نتوان کرد باغی

ترا پیوسته چشم خویش باید
چراغی نیز دایم پیش باید

که گر نبود چراغ و چشم در راه
ندانی چاه از ره راه از چاه

تو بی این هر دو گر در راه افتی
ز کوری عقابت درچاه افتی

چو او از مصطفی چشمی چنان یافت
زبانش نطق جبار جهان یافت

گر از کوران نه ای تو هوش می دار
چنین چشم و زبان را گوش می دار

کسی کان نور نبود در دماغش
بهشتی گر بود نبود چراغش

چراغ چرخ خورشید منیرست
چراغ خلد فاروق کبیرست

ز نفخ صور فردا جاودانی
فرو میرد چراغ آسمانی

ولیکن این چراغ جنت افروز
بود رخشنده تر از نور هر روز

English translation

The absolute leader and the candle of both worlds, The Commander of the Faithful, the greatest Farooq. Since the truth has spoken in accordance with his name, He is named Farooq from the Furqan; this is complete. When his heart saw the Truth in the sanctuary, The very essence of justice then joined with his heart. When the essence of justice and his heart came together, Both worlds became overflowing with his justice. As he closed the door of oppression forever, He opened the realm of Persia through his justice. The Arabs became strong through him at first, And all the people of Ajam became religious because of him. When iron turned to wax because of his firmness, He unlocked the locks of the Romans of Rome. Two shirts were such adversaries to his body That in Islam he had only one shirt. When he entered the religion, he had only one shirt; When he pulled off that one, this one was his shroud. From patching that shirt so much, It reached the point where he sewed a cloak of seventeen mann. From the weight of seventeen, clearly to him Come eighteen thousand patches. When eighteen thousand patches gathered at his feet, Why did he wear canvas of seventeen mann? Since that single shirt was his only possession, He inevitably possessed the sweetness of faith. Nakir and Munkar, out of his manliness and strength, Dared not roam around his grave. When the exalted Farooq is the inspector, No forbidden thing wanders in the vicinity. When the inspector is in command of the good, He is also characterized by the forbidding of the evil. The Prophet called him his own eye—what a status! He also called him the lamp of paradise—what a leader! His lamp illuminated the East and the West, Whose oil is neither of the East nor of the West. Since he became the eye and the lamp from the divine threshold, How can you walk the path without his eye and lamp? If you do not have an eye and a lamp, You cannot distinguish a garden from a furnace. You always need your own eye, And a lamp must also constantly be before you. For if there is no lamp and eye on the path, You will not know the path from the well, nor the well from the path. If you fall on the path without both of these, From blindness, your punishment will be to fall into a well. Since he received such an eye from Mustafa, His tongue found the speech of the Almighty of the universe. If you are not of the blind, be conscious; Listen closely to such an eye and tongue. Whoever does not have that light in their brain, Even if they are in paradise, they will have no lamp. The lamp of the sphere is the shining sun; The lamp of paradise is the great Farooq. From the blowing of the trumpet tomorrow, eternally The heavenly lamp will go out. But this paradise-illuminating lamp Will be more radiant than the light of every day.
