بخش ۷۹ - فی الحذر عن‌القدر / Section 79 - On Cautioning Against Destiny

Original content

بندگان را که از قدر حذر است
آن نه زیشان که آن هم از قدر است

قدر و تقدیر او نهاد چو چنگ
که شناسد همی ز نام و ز ننگ

زان چو بربط به هر خیال همی
خفته نالد ز گوشمال همی

پیش دیوان حکم او جز مرد
شکر سیلی حق که داند کرد

سنگ خواران حکم چو سندان
نزنند از برای جان دندان

که کند با قضای او آهی
جز فرومایه ای و گمراهی

آه تو با قضای او باد است
با قضایش دل تو ناشاد است

با قضا مر ترا چو نیست رضا
نشناسی خدای را به خدا

کو در این راه کردنی کردن
که تواند قفای او خوردن

کردنی بایدت عزازیلی
تا زند دست لعنتش سیلی

سیلی کز دو دست دوست خوری
همچو بادام بی دو پوست خوری

گردنانی که با خدای خوشند
حکم را بختیان بارکشند

چون چراغند اگرچه در بندند
زانکه جان می کنند و می خندند

هر بلایی که دل نماید از او
گر یکی ور هزار شاید از او

حکم و تقدیر او بلا نبود
هرچه آید به جز عطا نبود

English translation

For the servants who attempt to caution against destiny, That is not from them, for that (very caution) is also from destiny. He set up destiny and decree like a harp; Who knows the tune from name or shame? Therefore, like a lute, at every passing whim, The sleeper groans from being tuned (ear-twisted). Before the court of His judgment, who but a true man Knows how to offer gratitude for the slap of Truth? Those who consume the stones of His judgment, like an anvil, Do not grit their teeth for the sake of their lives. Who would utter a sigh against His decree, Except a base and misguided soul? Your sigh against His decree is but wind; By opposing His decree, your heart remains unhappy. Since you do not find contentment in His decree, By God, you do not truly know God. Who is capable of action on this path? Who can bear the blow of His hand? If your action is like that of Azazil (Satan), Then the hand of His curse will slap you. But a slap received from the two hands of the Friend Is like eating a double-peeled almond. Those mighty ones who are happy with God Are like robust camels bearing the load of His judgment. They are like lamps, even if they are constrained, For they yield their souls and yet they smile. Every tribulation that the heart displays because of Him— Whether one or a thousand—is fitting from Him. His judgment and destiny are not a calamity; Whatever comes from Him is nothing but a gift.
