بخش ۸ - ذکر تلاوة قرآن / Section 8 - Mention of the Recitation of the Quran

Original content

کی چشی طعم و لذت قرآن
چون زبان بردی و نبردی جان

از در تن به منظر جان آی
به تماشای باغ قرآن آی

تا به جان تو جلوه بنماید
آنچه بود آنچه هست وانچ آید

تر و خشک جهان درون و برون
آنچه موجود شد به کن فیکون

حکمهایی که گشت ازو محکوم
همه گردد ترا ازو معلوم

بشنواند ترا صفات خدای
گشته پیشت به صدق قصه سرای

مستمع چون کند سماع کلام
گیردش نطق موی بر اندام

تا ببینی به دیدهٔ اخلاص
چون بخوانی تو سورهٔ اخلاص

صورتی همچو سرو غاتفری
نظم او چون بنفشهٔ طبری

نصب و رفعش چو عرش و چون کرسی
گر تو از مرشد خرد پرسی

جر و جزم وی از طریق قدم
لوح محفوظ و سر سیر قلم

حرفها بال روح و پردهٔ نور
نقطه ها خال مشک بر رخ حور

این چنین درنگر به صورت او
چون بخوانی تو سر سورت او

تا الف را درون رای آرد
با و تا را به زیر پای آرد

تا فروشد به جای جان و خرد
صورت خوب را به هشدهٔ بد

زانکه در کوی عشق و حدت هنگ
بیش از این قیمتی نیارد رنگ

بوتهٔ شهوت امتحانش کند
پس از آن همچو زر کانش کند

پس دگرباره بوته ای سازد
تا درو غش و خشم بگذارد

پس چو نرمش کند فرو ساید
تا بدو تاج را بیاراید

هرکرا ملک عقل و دین باشد
افسر و تاج او چنین باشد

سخنی کز تو گشت آلوده
گرچه نیکوست هست بیهوده

باد اگرچه خوش آمد و دلکش
بر حدث بگذرد نماند خوش

English translation

When will you taste the flavor and pleasure of the Quran? Since you took it to the tongue but not to the soul. From the door of the body, come to the viewpoint of the soul; Come to witness the spectacle of the garden of the Quran. So that it may manifest its splendor to your soul, That which was, that which is, and that which shall come. The wet and the dry of the world, inside and out, Everything that came into existence by 'Be, and it was.' The decrees that were dictated by Him, All shall become known to you through it. It will make you hear the attributes of God, Standing before you as a storyteller of truth. When the listener hears the speech, His utterance makes the hair stand up on his body. So that you may see with the eye of sincerity, When you read the Surah al-Ikhlas. A form like the cypress of Ghatfar, Its order like the violet of Tabaristan. Its nasb and raf like the Throne and the Chair, If you ask the guide of wisdom. Its jarr and jazm from the path of eternity, The Preserved Tablet and the secret of the movement of the Pen. The letters are wings of the spirit and the veil of light, The dots are musky beauty marks on the cheeks of the Houris. Look upon its form in such a manner, When you read the secret of its Surah. So that the mind brings the 'Alif' within, And places the 'Ba' and 'Ta' beneath its feet. Until it sinks into the place of soul and intellect, Giving up the beautiful form for the eighteen evils. For in the quarter of love and the limit of power, Color brings no more value than this. The crucible of passion tests it, Then makes it like the gold of the mine. Then once more it creates a crucible, To leave behind dross and anger within it. Then when it makes it soft, it polishes it, So that it may adorn the crown with it. Whoever possesses the kingdom of intellect and religion, His coronet and crown shall be thus. A word that has been polluted by you, Though it be good, it is futile. The wind, though it arrived pleasant and charming, If it passes over filth, it remains no longer pleasant.
