بخش ۹۲ - در بیان معنی اسم الرحمان و اسم الرحیم / Section 92 - On Explaining the Meaning of the Name 'al-Rahman' and the Name 'al-Rahim'

Original content

هست اسم وجود حق رحمان
باعتبار العموم للاعیان

رحمتی در کمال بسط و سعت
مستفاد از «و رحمتی و سعت »

نیست غیر از وجود عام مفاض
بر حقایق ز واهب فیاض

اسم رحمان ازان بود مشتق
لفظ او خاص و معنیش مطلق

لفظ او بی وقوع سهو و غلط
می شود بر خدا مقول فقط

لیک معنیش شامل و عام است
کون را گشته خوان انعام است

عکس اینست حکم اسم رحیم
باعتبار الخصوص و التعمیم

هست اسم وجود حق اما
متخصص به موجب اشیا

بخشد از خوان رحمت القصه
طالبان وجود را حصه

لفظش افتاد بی خلاف و شقاق
بر حق و خلق جایزالاطلاق

English translation

The name of the True Existence is Rahman (The All-Merciful), By consideration of its generality for all entities. A mercy in ultimate expansion and amplitude, Derived from 'And My mercy encompasses [all things].' It is nothing other than the general existence bestowed Upon all realities by the Generous Bestower. The name Rahman is derived from this; Its word is specific (to God), but its meaning is absolute. Its literal word, without error or mistake, Is predicated of God alone. But its meaning is all-encompassing and general; It is a banquet of bounty laid out for all creation. The opposite of this is the rule of the name Rahim (The Most Merciful), In consideration of specificity and generalization. It is also a name of the True Existence, but It is specialized according to the requirements of things. In short, from the banquet of mercy, it bestows A portion to the seekers of existence. Its word is, without dispute or discord, Permissible to be applied to both God and His creation.
