بخش ۲۸ - در بیان آنکه آنچه گذشت مذمت ذکر سر و جهر نیست بلکه مذمت جماعتی است که آن را وسیله لذات جسمانی و شهوات نفسانی ساخته اند / Section 28 - On Explaining That What Preceded Is Not a Condemnation of Hidden or Loud Remembrance, But Rather a Condemnation of a Group Who Have Made It a Means for Bodily Pleasures and Carnal Desires

Original content

آنچه کردم بیان درین گفتار
نیست بر ذکر سر و جهر انکار

غیر ذکر خدا چه سر و چه جهر
نیست دل را نصیب و جان را بهر

هست انکار من بر آنکه کسی
سازد آن را وسیله هوسی

خویش را ز اهل حق کند به دروغ
تا ستاند بهای تره و دوغ

زیر پای آورد کتاب خدای
تا نهد شیشه شراب به جای

عشر زرین بدزدد از مصحف
تا کند زیب چنگ و زیور دف

سازد از نیزه حسین درفش
تا به پای یزید دوزد کفش

خود نزیبد ز مردم دانا
جز برای خدای ذکر خدا

زیرک هوشمند نقد نفیس
کی پسندد طفیل جنس خسیس

هر که از بود خویش یافت خلاص
شد مشرف به خلعت اخلاص

چون ز اخلاص گشت دولتمند
ذکر او خواه پست و خواه بلند

وان که در مانده وجود خود است
صید دام شقاوت ابد است

سر او جهر او تمام ریاست
وز ریاگر برست عجب به جاست

English translation

What I explained in this discourse, Is not a denial of hidden or loud remembrance. Other than the remembrance of God, whether hidden or loud, The heart has no portion and the soul has no share. My denial is upon the one who, Makes it a means for a whim; Falsely presents himself as a man of truth, To take the price of herbs and buttermilk; He tramples the book of God underfoot, To put a glass of wine in its place; He steals the golden illuminations from the Quran, To adorn the harp and decorate the tambourine; He makes a banner from the spear of Husayn, To sew shoes for the feet of Yazid. Indeed, it is not fitting for wise people, To remember God for anything other than God. How would an intelligent, astute person accept a precious coin, As a subordinate to a base commodity? Whoever found deliverance from his own existence, Became honored with the robe of sincerity. When he became wealthy through sincerity, His remembrance, whether low or loud, is accepted. And the one who remains trapped in his own existence, Is prey to the trap of eternal wretchedness; His hidden and his loud (remembrance) are entirely hypocrisy, And if he escapes hypocrisy, conceit takes its place.
