متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ابلقی را که رخ به خانهٔ اوستتازگی جان ز تازیانهٔ اوست
The piebald horse whose face is towards His house,
Has the freshness of its soul from His whip.
وآنکه از تیر او شرف دارددیدگان از پی هدف دارد
And he who holds honor from His arrow,
Keeps his eyes fixed upon the target.
ای بر آتش نهاده خرمن خویشباد بر داده سقف گلشن خویش
O you who have set your own harvest on fire,
And given the roof of your garden to the wind,
گر ترا تیغ تن زند اه کنور ترا زخم حق زند خه کن
If the blade of body strikes you, sigh;
But if the wound of the Truth strikes you, rejoice.
بی رضای حق آنچه راحت تستآن نه راحت که آن جراحت تست
Without the contentment of God, whatever is your comfort,
Is not comfort, but rather your wound.
تلخ و شیرین چو هر دو زو باشدزشت نبود همه نکو باشد
Since both bitter and sweet come from Him,
Nothing is ugly; it is all good.
دلشان بر فراق مال و عیالخنک و خوش چو در بهار شمال
Their hearts, upon the separation from wealth and family,
Are cool and pleasant like the northern spring breeze.
تا در این عالم فسرده درندلگد اشتران چو گرده خورند
As long as they are in this frozen world,
They take the kicks of camels like loaves of bread.
خویشتن چون ز عشق گرم کنندگردن روزگار نرم کنند
When they warm themselves with love,
They soften the neck of time.
پیش رفتن به رغبت از دنییشود آماده نزدشان عقبی
By departing willingly from the world,
Their hereafter becomes prepared for them.
چون سر عشق آن جهان دارندهمچو شمع اند سوز جان دارند
Since they have the passion of love for that world,
They are like candles, having the burning of the soul.
پیششان روزگار چون بندهدهر از انفاسشان فزاینده
Before them, time is like a servant;
The age increases by their breaths.
کمترین بنده شان زمانه بودز آرزو دل چو گورخانه بود
Their least servant is time;
The heart is like a grave for desires.
زانکشان تا امید نبود و بیمجانشان تن خورد چو شمع مقیم
Since they have neither hope nor fear,
Their soul consumes the body like a steadfast candle.
دل ز تلخیش همچو می خوش دارهمچنو دل پر آب و آتش دار
Keep the heart happy through its bitterness like wine;
Like it, keep the heart full of water and fire.
جان به عهد و وفاش بسپردهدر کنف زنده در کفن مرده
The soul entrusted to His covenant and fidelity,
Living in His protection, dead in the shroud.
پیش امرش چو کلک برجستهجان کمروار بر میان بسته
Before His command, standing out like a pen;
The soul girded like a belt around the waist.
از برای وفات تخم نفاقنقد خوارزم کم برد به عراق
For the death of the seed of discord,
He rarely takes the cash of Khwarazm to Iraq.
از برای دو دانگ سیم دغلنکند با خدای کیسه بدل
For the sake of two grains of counterfeit silver,
He does not swap purses with God.
همچنان بختی کمر کوهانسبلت حرص کم زند سوهان
Like a camel with a double hump,
He rarely files down the mustache of greed.
در رضای خدای خویش بکوشبه نه چیزش چو بندگان مفروش
Strive for the contentment of your Lord;
Do not sell it for nothing like slaves do.
باش در حکم صولجانش گویهم سمعنا و هم اطعنا گوی
Be like a ball under the play of His polo-stick;
Say 'we heard and we obeyed'.
چونت گوید نماز کن بگزارچونت گوید مکن برو مگذار
When He tells you to pray, perform it;
When He tells you not to, do not perform it.
چونت گوید ببخش هیچ منهچونت گوید نگاه دار مده
When He tells you to give, keep nothing;
When He tells you to keep, do not give.
نه ز روی مجاز کز تحقیقبر همه برنهاد بی تصدیق
Not metaphorically, but through realization,
He laid it upon all without verification.
اندر آمد گلیم پوشیدهصفو و دردی درد نوشیده
He entered clad in a blanket,
Having drunk both the pure wine and the dregs of pain.
پر جبرئیل بر موافقتشگشت همچون کلیم منقبتش
The wing of Gabriel, in agreement with him,
Made his virtue like that of Moses.
رخصتش هدیه دان کزو برهیتو ازو رخصتش چه باز دهی
Consider His permission a gift by which you are saved;
How can you return His permission to Him?
نه تویی تو ز تست بر کاریتو کئی اندرین میان باری
Your 'you' is not from you in any deed;
Who are you in the midst of this, indeed?
هرکجا ذکر او بود تو که ایجمله تسلیم کن بدو تو چه ای
Wherever His remembrance is, who are you?
Submit entirely to Him, what are you?
آن اویی تو کم ستیز بر اویگر گریزی ازو گریز در اوی
You belong to Him, do not contend with Him;
If you flee from Him, flee into Him.
جان و تن را به کردگار سپارتا درون سرای یابی بار
Entrust soul and body to the Creator,
So that you may find admittance inside the mansion.
کانکه شد پاسبان خانه و سرچون کلیدان بماند در پس در
For he who became the guardian of the house and secret,
Remained behind the door like keys.
جان و اسباب ازو عطا داریپس دریغش ازو چرا داری
You have soul and means as a gift from Him;
Why then do you withhold it from Him?
جان و اسباب در رهش در بازبر ره سیل و رود خانه مساز
Surrender soul and means in His path;
Do not build a house in the path of the flood and river.
وقف کن جسم و مال را بر غیبتا بوی چون کلیدش اندر جیب
Dedicate body and wealth to the Unseen,
So that you may be like His key in the pocket.
جبر را مارمیت کن از برباز دان از رمیت سر قدر
Learn 'you threw not when you threw' by heart;
Know from 'you threw' the secret of destiny.
