متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

در دهان هر زبان که گویا شداز ثنایت چو مشک بویا شد
In the mouth of every tongue that became speaking,
It became fragrant like musk from Your praise.
دل و جان را به بعد و قربت توهست در امر و در مشیت تو
The heart and soul, in their distance and proximity to You,
Are under Your command and Your will.
دولت سرمدی و نحس ردیملک بی هلک و عزت ابدی
Eternal fortune and destructive misfortune,
Sovereignty without decay, and everlasting honor.
بندگانت به روز و شب پویانهمه از تو ترا شده جویان
Your servants are running day and night,
All seeking You through You.
دولت و ملک و عز هر دو جهانپیش عاقل به آشکار و نهان
The fortune, sovereignty, and honor of both worlds,
Before the wise person, openly and secretly,
هست معلوم بی هوا و هوسکان همه هیچ نیست بی تو و بس
Is known without bias or passion,
That all of them are nothing without You, and that is all.
در ثنای تو هر که گربزترگرچه قادرترست عاجزتر
In Your praise, whoever is more clever,
Though more capable, is actually more helpless.
دین طلب کن گرت غم بدنستزانکه کابین دین طلاق تنست
Seek religion if you care for the soul,
Because the dowry of religion is the divorce of the body.
پیک عقلش ممیز راهستکه فسادش صلاح را جاهست
The messenger of his intellect distinguishes the path,
Whose corruption serves as a place of honor for rectitude.
نیست در امر تو به کن فیکونزهره کس را که این چه یا آن چون
Under Your command of 'Be, and it is',
No one has the courage to ask 'Why this?' or 'How that?'
بنده را در ره معاش و معادنیست کس ناصر از صلاح و فساد
For the servant, on the path of livelihood and resurrection,
No one is a helper in rectitude or corruption.
روزی آخر ز خلق سیر شویلیک دوری هنوز و دیر شوی
Eventually one day you will grow tired of people,
But you are still distant and it will take you long.
آنگه آگه شوی ز نرخ پیازکه نیابی به راه راست جواز
Only then will you learn the price of onions,
When you do not find a permit on the straight path.
مرد ایمان همیشه در کار استزانکه ایمان نماز بیمار است
The man of faith is always at work,
Because faith is the prayer of the sick.
تا نداری سر سراندازیتو چه دانی که چیست جانبازی
As long as you do not intend to risk your head,
How do you know what self-sacrifice is?
چون سرانداز وصف جود شدیبر در روم در سجود شدی
When you became a risk-taker describing generosity,
You went into prostration at the door of Rome.
کعبهٔ دل ز حق شده منظورهمت سگ بر استخوان مقصور
The Kaaba of the heart is observed by the Truth,
While the ambition of a dog is confined to a bone.
پیش شرعش ز شعر جستن بهبیت را همچو بت شکستن به
In the face of His law, avoiding poetry is better;
Breaking a verse like an idol is better.
شرع از اشعار سخت بیگانه ستگرچه با او کنون هم از خانه ست
The Divine Law is highly estranged from poetry,
Even though it currently shares the same house with it.
هرچه ما را مباح، محظورستبرکسی کو ازین و آن دورست
Whatever is permissible for us is forbidden
For the one who is distant from this and that.
فرق حظر و اباحت او داندکانچه راحت جراحت او داند
He knows the difference between prohibition and permission
Who knows that what seems a comfort is actually a wound.
دل و همت مده به صحبت خلقببر از خلق تا نبرد حلق
Do not give your heart and ambition to the company of people;
Sever ties with people lest they cut your throat.
نیکویی با عدوت از خردستکه خرد نام تو ز نیک و بد است
Doing good to your enemy is out of wisdom,
For wisdom preserves your name from good and bad.
