Poem

بخش ۷۰ - فی الانابه / Section 70 - On Repentance

Original content

ای جهان آفرین جان آرای
وی خرد را به صدق راه نمای

در بهشت فلک همه خامان
در بهشت تو دوزخ آشامان

بر درت خوب و زشت را چکنم
چون تو هستی بهشت را چکنم

که نماید در آینهٔ تزویر
غرض نکتهٔ علیم و قدیر

خون دل چون جگر کند سوراخ
چه جهنم چه جمرهٔ طباخ

دوزخ از بیم او بهشت شود
خاک بی کالبد چو خشت شود

خنده گریند عاشقان از تو
گریه خندند عارفان از تو

در جحیم تو جنت آرامان
بی تو راضی به حورعین عامان

گر به دوزخ فرستی از در خویش
میروم نی به پای بر سر خویش

وانکه امر ترا خلاف آرد
دل خود از غفلتش غلاف آرد

همه را گاه و کار و بار از تو
یار مار است و مار یار از تو

نه به لاتأمن از تو سیر شوم
نه به لاتقنطوا دلیر شوم

گر کنی زهر با روانم جفت
از شکر تلخ تر نیارم گفت

ایمن از مکر تو کسی باشد
که فرومایهٔ خسی باشد

امن و مکر تو هر دو یکسانست
عاقل از مکر تو هراسانست

ایمن از مکر تو نشاید بود
طاعت و معصیت ندارد سود

ایمن آنکس بود که وی آگاه
نبود از مکر تو به فعل گناه

English translation

O Creator of the world, Adorner of the soul, And O Guide of the intellect to truthfulness! In the heaven of the cosmos, all are raw; In Your heaven, they are drinkers of hell. At Your door, what should I do with the beautiful and the ugly? Since You exist, what should I do with heaven? For in the mirror of deceit, who can show The purpose of the words of the All-Knowing and All-Powerful? When the heart's blood pierces the liver, What difference is hell or the cook's hot coal? Hell, out of fear of Him, becomes heaven; Soil without a body becomes like a brick. Lovers weep in laughter because of You; Gnostics laugh in weeping because of You. In Your hell are those at peace as if in paradise; Without You, the common people are content with the wide-eyed houris. If You send me to hell from Your door, I will go, not on my feet, but on my head. And he who opposes Your command Envelopes his own heart in heedlessness. Everyone's time, work, and livelihood are from You; The friend becomes a snake, and the snake a friend because of You. Neither am I sated of You by 'Do not feel secure,' Nor do I become emboldened by 'Do not despair.' If You couple poison with my soul, I will not speak of it as something more bitter than sugar. Secure from Your design is only he Who is a base and worthless person. Your security and Your planning are both the same; The wise person is terrified of Your planning. One must not feel secure from Your planning; Obedience and disobedience hold no profit. Secure is only that person who is unaware Of Your planning while committing sin.
