Original content

نام او در عمل صحیح الجهد
لقبش در وفا کریم العهد

همت او ورای جزو و کلست
که همه آبها به زیر پلست

گر بخواهی تو جانش از معنی
کرم و خلق او نگوید نی

سایل آز را چو قاورن کرد
پنبه از گوش بخل بیرون کرد

خواجه ابلیس کز پی دم غیر
لیف او لاف زد چو گفت انا خیر

کردی ار دیدی این مکارم و جود
در سرای وجود رای سجود

بیند آنکس که هست بینا دل
وانکه از گل دل آورد حاصل

سمع آنکو به مجلسش بنشست
شمع دارد تو گویی اندر دست

جامهٔ عزمش از صیانت پاک
عرصهٔ جانش از خیانت پاک

دم او همچو عیسی آدم جان
عهد او همچو خضر محکم جان

عهد او چون پیمبر اندر عهد
شخص او همچو عیسی اندر مهد

چون ز خورشید قابل قوتست
لاجرم عهد او چو یاقوتست

نکتهٔ او بر صلاح و وفاق
گوش ساره ست و مژدهٔ اسحق

چون تنور زمانه آتش یافت
گردن چرخ سیلی خوش یافت

خود نراندست در شفا و الم
جز به املای شرع و عقل قلم

لفظ و نطقش ز عقل و جان مملیست
کو ز امر خدای مستملیست

جود او چون بهار خوش سلبست
بود او چون حیات حق طلبست

مایهٔ فرش رسم تحفهٔ اوست
سایهٔ عرش طاق صفهٔ اوست

هست از روی رتبت و اجلال
پشت اسلام و شرع را ز کمال

در نظر چون عبارت آراید
جبرئیلش به طبع بستاند

کلک او کز ره جفا دورست
همچو انگشت حور پر نورست

در کف نقشبند سر ازل
در خلاء جلال او چه خلل

هست در بادیه در آز و نیاز
گرچه راهست دور و زشت و دراز

زین سبب نیست در نشیمن جود
لاجرم هست در سرای وجود

آسمان سخا و احسان اوست
ابر انعام و غیث انسان اوست

چاکر گفت اوست گفتارم
شاکر دست اوست دستارم

به دو لفظ نکو که بشنودم
یک در اندر فلک بیفزودم

مر مرا آب شد ز حیرانی
آتش دیگ روح حیوانی

گرچه با ما هم از قرونست او
از قرون و قران برونست او

زاغ را چون همای فر دادست
پشه را همچو باشه پر دادست

قلم او ز سهوهاست مصون
بر علمش علوم گشته زبون

زو امیر ولایتی گشتم
وز قبول وی آیتی گشتم

علم او دستگیر دینداران
قلمش چون ربیع با باران

عالم از فتویش بر آسوده
وز ضلالت جهان بیزدوده

کرده برهانش بر جهان آسان
متشابه که هست در قرآن

گر تبجح کند روا باشد
این چنین علمها کرا باشد

نیست مانند او به علم اندر
متواضع به علم و حلم اندر

او تواند نمود مرجان را
بی نقاب حروف قرآن را

زانکه در تربه سید آسوده ست
تا نیابت به شیخ فرموده ست

مرد چون کار را بود در خورد
هرچه وی گفت شیخ چونان کرد

هر خبر کز رسول نقل افتاد
شیخ در شرح آن بدادش داد

معنی هریکی برون آورد
جمله زیبا و نیکو و در خورد

مشکلات کلام ایزد بار
متشابه که هست در اخبار

همه را کرده حل به شکل و بیان
لفظهائی که هست در قرآن

ابن عباس روزگارست او
با معانی بی شمارست او

هست با دانش معاذ جبل
ایزدش برگزیده عزوجل

سخنش همچو روضهٔ نورست
نیک نزدیک لیک بس دورست

همچو عقل اندک فراوان شو
صلح افکن ولیک پنهان شو

هم گران هم سبک لقاست چو کان
هم سبک هم گران بهاست چو جان

گر دواند مرا به پیش الم
پیش حکمش به سر دوم چو قلم

ور مرا گوید ای سنایی رو
بندم از دیده با شمال گرو

ور بخواند مرا ز بهر عتاب
همه تن دل شوم بسان حباب

قدر او بام آسمان برین
خوی او دام جبرئیل امین

کام چون بر بساط نطق آرد
گنگ را در نشاط نطق آرد

گر کند ز الکن التماس سخن
در حدیث آید از نشاط الکن

سنگ بر وی به مدح جود کند
فلک از نطق او سجود کند

سخنش عذب چون نتیجهٔ صبر
با بطر چون سرشک دیدهٔ ابر

خلق و خلقش لطیف چون حورا
لفظ و معنی دو مغزه چون جوزا

نفس او نقش زندگانی بود
که دو مغز و یک استخوانی بود

خوی او جان تشنه را مشرب
سحر او مر پیاده را مرکب

کرده از نکته های عقل انگیز
طبع یاران و چشم خاطر تیز

در تصفح چو حلم به بردار
در تخلص چو علم برخوردار

در خرد صفو را مبانی اوست
در سخن روح را معانی اوست

سیرت پاک او حکیم اوصاف
صورت علم او کریم انصاف

همه ابرام و ناز بتوان کرد
شعر چون هست بکر و معطی مرد

باد پیوسته چیره در هر کار
وز همه علم خویش برخوردار

باد باقی بقای روح و ملک
تا بود در مدار چرخ و فلک

تا جهانست عز و جاهش باد
حکمت و شرع در پناهش باد

English translation

His name in action is sound in effort, His title in fidelity is generous in covenant. His aspiration is beyond the part and the whole, For all waters flow beneath the bridge. If you desire his soul in meaning, His generosity and character will not say no. He made the beggar of greed like Korah, He removed the cotton of avarice from his ears. The master Iblis who, following the breath of others, Boasted with pride when he said 'I am better,' Would have, if he had seen these noble deeds and generosity, Intended to prostrate in the temple of existence. He sees who is clear-sighted of heart, And he who has obtained a heart from clay. The hearing of whoever sat in his assembly Holds a candle in hand, as if to say. The robe of his resolve is pure of stain, The domain of his soul is clean of betrayal. His breath is like Jesus, giving life to man, His covenant is like Khidr, firm of soul. His covenant is like the Prophet in his pledge, His person is like Jesus in the cradle. Since he receives power from the sun, Inescapably, his covenant is like a ruby. His subtle point on reform and harmony Is the ear of Sarah and the glad tidings of Isaac. When the oven of the age caught fire, The neck of the sphere received a pleasing slap. He has never driven his pen in health or suffering Except by the dictation of the Sharia and intellect. His words and speech are dictated by intellect and soul, For he seeks dictation from the command of God. His generosity is like spring, beautifully robed, His existence is like life, truth-seeking. The essence of the floor of custom is his gift, The shadow of the Throne is the arch of his canopy. By way of rank and majesty, he is The support of Islam and Sharia through perfection. When he adorns expression in sight, Gabriel, by nature, receives it. His pen, which is far from the path of injustice, Is full of light like the finger of a houri. In the hand of the designer of the eternal secret, What defect can be in the void of his majesty? He is in the desert of greed and need, Though the path is far, ugly, and long. For this reason, he is not in the seat of generosity, Consequently, he is in the house of existence. The sky of generosity and benevolence is he, The cloud of favor and the rain of humanity is he. My speech is the servant of his speech, My turban is thankful for his hand. With two good words that I heard, I added a door in the sky. For me, through astonishment, water became The fire of the pot of the animal spirit. Although he is of the same eras as us, He is beyond eras and conjunctions. He has given the crow the glory of the Huma, He has given the gnat the wings of a hawk. His pen is immune to errors, Before his banner, all sciences have become humbled. Through him, I became the ruler of a province, And by his acceptance, I became a sign. His knowledge is the helper of the religious, His pen is like spring with rain. The world has found peace through his fatwas, And the world has been cleansed of deviation. His proof has made easy for the world The ambiguous verses that are in the Quran. If he boasts, it is permissible; Who else possesses such knowledge? There is none like him in knowledge, Humble in both knowledge and forbearance. He can reveal the coral, Without a veil, the letters of the Quran. Because the master rests in the tomb, Since he delegated the deputy ship to the Sheikh. When a man is fit for the task, Whatever he said, the Sheikh did so. Every narration transmitted from the Prophet, The Sheikh did justice to its explanation. He extracted the meaning of each one, All beautiful, good, and fitting. The difficulties of the word of the Creator Lord, The ambiguous parts that are in the traditions, He solved them all with form and explanation, The words that are in the Quran. He is the Ibn Abbas of the age, He is possessed of countless meanings. He is with the knowledge of Mu'adh bin Jabal, God, the Almighty and Majestic, has chosen him. His speech is like a garden of light, Very near, yet very far. Like the intellect, be little but multiply; Bring peace, but remain hidden. He is both heavy and light to behold like a mine, Both light and highly priced like the soul. If he makes me run before pain, Before his command I will run on my head like a pen. And if he says to me, 'O Sanai, go,' I will wager with the north wind from my eyes. And if he calls me for reprimand, I will become all heart like a bubble. His worth is the roof of the highest heaven, His character is the snare for the trustworthy Gabriel. When he brings his palate to the carpet of speech, He brings the mute into the joy of speech. If he requests speech from the stutterer, The stutterer enters into discourse out of joy. The stone praises him for his generosity, The heaven prostrates at his speech. His speech is sweet like the result of patience, With grace like the tear of the cloud's eye. His creation and character are elegant like a houri, His words and meaning are double-kernelled like Gemini. His soul was the pattern of life, Which was two kernels and one bone. His character is a watering-place for the thirsty soul, His magic is a mount for the pedestrian. Made by intellectually stimulating points, The nature of companions and the eye of mind sharp. In examination, hold forbearance better, In delivering, benefit like knowledge. In wisdom, he is the foundation of purity, In speech, he is the meanings of the soul. His pure biography is wise in attributes, The form of his knowledge is generous in justice. One can perform all insistence and coquetry, Since the poem is virgin and the giver is a man. May he always be victorious in every endeavor, And benefit from all of his knowledge. May he remain, along with the survival of the soul and the angel, As long as the rotation of the sphere and heaven exists. As long as the world exists, may his glory and position remain, May wisdom and the Sharia be under his protection.
