Original content

کهف اصحاب سعد دین و دول
منتهی در طریق علم و عمل

دلش از نسبت دو عالم دور
نسبت او به کاشغر مشهور

گفت از پیر خود نظام الدین
که به خاموش داشتی تعیین

که به وقت صفای آیینه
سوی مسجد شدم یک آدینه

چون ز مسجد پس از ادای نماز
سوی مأوای خویش گشتم باز

دیدم اندر دکانچه ای تنها
نوجوانی به حسن بی همتا

عشقش آورد بر من آنسان زور
کز دل و جان من برآمد شور

ماندم از حال خویشتن حیران
که دلی را که جمله کون و مکان

کم بود در فروغ معرفتش
چون شود مهر ذره ای صفتش

قطره ای را چه زهره و یارا
که تواند احاطه با دریا

هر کجا تافت آفتاب قدم
کی تواند نهاد سایه قدم

ناگهان در مقابل آن ماه
دیدم افتاده بیدلی در راه

از دل و دیده غرق آتش و آب
از تب عشق آن جوان در تاب

روشنم شد که آن محبت و درد
در دل من ازو سرایت کرد

من ازان عشق هستم آزاده
پرتو اوست بر من افتاده

چند گامی ازو چو بگذشتم
زان هوا و هوس تهی گشتم

همچنین نقل کرد ازو که دمی
نشدی خالی از غم و المی

روز و شب رنجه بودی از اوجاع
گاه تب داشتی و گاه صداع

گفت روزی که رنج های گران
این همه هست بر من از دگران

من چو کلم همه جهان اجزا
بلکه من شخص و دیگران اعضا

رنج بر جزو چون بود جاری
اثر آن به کل شود ساری

گفت ناقل که این حدیث بلند
در من انکار گونه ای افکند

زید را طبع منحرف گردد
چون به تب عمر و متصف گردد

می زند بر دماغ بکر بخار
چون ز خالد برد صداع قرار

بود با من رفیق خبازی
در خلا و ملا هم آوازی

آتش انداخت در تنور سحر
شعله آن زد از درونم سر

چون دهان تنور او آتش
از دهانم زبانه می زد خوش

آتش او چو شعله زد از من
سخن پیر شد مرا روشن

که تواند که حالت دگری
کند اندر کس دگر اثری

همت پیر آمد اندر کار
وآتشم زد به خرمن انکار

زنگ انکار از دلم بزدود
در اقبال بر رخم بگشود

English translation

The refuge of the companions, Sa'd of religion and state, The ultimate guide in the path of knowledge and action, His heart was distant from the attachments of both worlds, His affiliation with Kashghar was famous. He narrated from his spiritual guide Nizam al-Din, Whom people designated as 'Khamush' (The Silent), That: 'At the time of the mirror's clarity, I went toward the mosque one Friday. When, after performing the prayer, I returned from the mosque toward my abode, I saw, alone in a small shop, A youth of peerless beauty. His love exerted such a force upon me That a clamor arose from my heart and soul. I remained bewildered by my own state: How could a heart, for which the entire universe Is small in the light of its mystical knowledge, Become characterized by affection for a mere speck? What courage and capability does a drop possess To be able to encompass the ocean? Wherever the eternal sun shines, How can a shadow take a step? Suddenly, in front of that moon-like beauty, I saw a heart-lost lover fallen on the path, His heart and eyes drowned in fire and water, Writhing in the fever of that youth's love. It became clear to me that this affection and pain Had spread to my heart from him. I am free from that love; It is only his reflection that has fallen upon me. When I walked a few steps past him, I became empty of that passion and desire.' He also narrated from him that not for a moment Was he free from sorrow and pain. Day and night he suffered from ailments; At times he had a fever, and at times a headache. One day he said: 'These heavy sufferings Are all upon me due to others. I am like the whole, and the entire world is the parts; Rather, I am the person, and others are the limbs. When suffering flows into a part, Its effect spreads to the whole.' The narrator said: 'This sublime discourse Cast a sort of denial within me: How can Zayd's health be disturbed Just because 'Amr is afflicted with a fever? How can vapors strike Bakr's brain When a headache robs Khalid of rest? I had a baker friend, A close companion in private and public. At dawn, he threw fire into his oven, And its flame erupted from within me. As the fire in the mouth of his oven flared up, It flared beautifully from my mouth. When his fire blazed from me, The words of the elder became clear to me: That indeed the state of another Can have an effect on someone else. The spiritual power of the elder went to work, And set fire to my harvest of denial. It wiped away the rust of denial from my heart, And opened the door of fortune to my face.'
