بخش ۴۸ - جواب / Section 48 - Answer

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

قدیم و محدث از هم خود جدا نیستکه از هستی است، باقی دائما نیست
The Eternal and the temporal are not separate from each other,
Since the temporal exists through Being, and in itself is perpetually non-existent.
همه آن است و این مانند عنقاستجز از حق جمله اسم بی مسماست
All is That, and this world is like the phoenix;
Save for the Truth, all things are names without a named reality.
عدم موجود گردد، این محال استوجود از روی هستی لایزال است
For non-existence to become existent is impossible,
For Existence, by its very nature of being, is everlasting.
نه آن این گردد و نه این شود آنهمه اشکال گردد بر تو آسان
Neither does that become this, nor does this become that;
Through this, all difficulties will become easy for you.
جهان خود جمله امر اعتباری استچو آن یک نقطه که اندر دور ساری است
The world itself is entirely a conceptual matter,
Like that single point revolving in a circle.
برو یک نقطهٔ آتش بگردانکه بینی دایره از سرعت آن
Go and whirl a single spark of fire,
And you will see a circle because of its speed.
یکی گر در شمار آید به ناچارنگردد واحد از اعداد بسیار
Though the number one inevitably enters into counting,
The One is not multiplied by the multiplicity of numbers.
حدیث «ما سوی الله» را رها کنبه عقل خویش این را زان جدا کن
Abandon the talk of 'what is other than God,'
And distinguish this from that with your own intellect.
چه شک داری در آن کین چون خیال استکه با وحدت دویی عین محال است
What doubt do you have that this world is like a fancy?
For alongside Unity, duality is utterly impossible.
عدم مانند هستی بود یکتاهمه کثرت ز نسبت گشت پیدا
Non-existence, like Being, was singular;
All multiplicity arose from relations.
ظهور اختلاف و کثرت شانشده پیدا ز بوقلمون امکان
The appearance of their diversity and multiplicity
Became manifest through the chameleon of contingency.
وجود هر یکی چون بود واحدبه وحدانیت حق گشت شاهد
Since the existence of each individual thing is one,
It bears witness to the Unity of the Truth.
