بخش ۱۹ - تمثیل در بیان مقام نبوت و ولایت / Section 19 - An Allegory Explaining the Station of Prophethood and Saintship

Original content

نبی چون آفتاب آمد، ولی ماه
مقابل گردد اندر «لی مع الله»

نبوت در کمال خویش صافی است
ولایت اندر او پیدا، نه مخفی است

ولایت در ولی پوشیده باید
ولی اندر نبی پیدا نماید

ولی از پیروی چون همدم آمد
نبی را در ولایت محرم آمد

ز «إن کنتم تحبون» یابد او راه
به خلوتخانهٔ «يحببکم الله»

در آن خلوت سرا محبوب گردد
به حق یکبارگی مجذوب گردد

بود تابع ولی از روی معنی
بود عابد ولی در کوی معنی

ولی آنگه رسد کارش به اتمام
که با آغاز گردد باز از انجام

English translation

The Prophet is like the sun, the Saint is the moon, They face each other in 'I have a time with God.' Prophethood is pure in its own perfection, Saintship is manifest in it, not hidden. Saintship must be concealed within the Saint, But it shows itself manifest in the Prophet. Since the Saint becomes a companion by following, He becomes a confidant of the Prophet in Saintship. From 'If you love [God]' he finds the way To the private chamber of 'God will love you.' In that private chamber, he becomes the beloved, And is entirely drawn and absorbed in the Truth. The Saint is a follower in spiritual meaning, He is a worshipper in the alley of meaning. The Saint only reaches the completion of his work, When he returns from the end back to the beginning.
