متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چون ز درگاه تست گو می مالخواب را زیر پای خیل خیال
Since it is from Your threshold, tell him to rub
Sleep under the feet of the host of imagination.
همچو شمع آنکه را نماند منیدر تو خندد چو گردنش بزنی
Like a candle, he who has no selfhood left
Will smile at You when You strike off his head.
با تو با جاه و عقل و زر چکنمدین و دنیا تویی دگر چکنم
With You, what should I do with status, intellect, and gold?
You are my religion and my world, what else should I do?
تو مرا دل ده و دلیری بینرو به خویش خوان و شیرین بین
Give me heart and behold my bravery,
Call me to Yourself and see how sweet it is.
گر ز تیر تو پر کنم ترکشکمر کوه قاف گیرم کش
If I fill my quiver with Your arrows,
I will easily grasp the waist of Mount Qaf.
یار آنی که بی خرد نبودوان آنی که آن خود نبود
You are the companion of the one who is not unwise,
And the owner of the one who does not belong to himself.
من چو درمانده ام درم بگشایره چو گم کرده ام رهم بنمای
Since I am helpless, open the door for me;
Since I have lost the path, show me the way.
هیچ خودبین خدای بین نبودمرد خود دیده مرد دین نبود
No self-conceited person was ever a God-seer;
The self-observing man was not a man of religion.
گر تو مرد شریعت و دینییک زمان دور شو ز خود بینی
If you are a man of Sharia and religion,
For a moment, step away from self-conceit.
ای خداوند کردگار غفوربنده را از درت مگردان دور
O Lord, forgiving Creator,
Do not turn Your servant away from Your door.
بستهٔ خویش کن ببر خوابمتشنهٔ خویش کن مده آبم
Make me bound to You, take away my sleep;
Make me thirsty for You, do not give me water.
دل از این و از آن چه باید جستدرد خود رهنمای مقصد تست
Why should one seek a heart from this one and that one?
Your own pain is the guide to your destination.
عمر ضایع همی کنی در کارهمچو خر پیش سبزه بی افسار
You waste your life in labor,
Like an unbridled donkey before green pastures.
گرد هر شهر هرزه می گردیخر در آن ره طلب که گم کردی
You wander aimlessly around every town;
Seek the donkey on the road where you lost it.
خر اگر در عراق دزدیدندپس ترا چون به یزد و ری دیدند
If the donkey was stolen in Iraq,
How then did they see you in Yazd and Rey?
پل بود پیش تا نگردی کلچون شدی کل ترا چه بحر و چه پل
A bridge lies ahead until you become weary;
When you become weary, what is the sea and what is the bridge to you?
اندرین ره ز داد و دانش خویشبار ساز و ز هیچ پل مندیش
On this path, from your own justice and knowledge,
Make your provisions, and do not think of any bridge.
قصد کشتی مکن که پر خطرستمرد کشتی ز بحر بی خبرست
Do not intend to board the ship, for it is full of peril;
The man of the ship is unaware of the sea.
گرچه نو خیز و نو گرفت بودبط کشتی طلب شگفت بود
Though it be newly risen and newly caught,
It is strange for a duck to seek a ship.
بچهٔ بط اگر چه دینه بودآب دریاش تا به سینه بود
Even if the duckling was born only yesterday,
The water of the sea reaches only to its chest.
تو چو بط باش و دنیی آب روانایمن از قعر بحر بی پایان
Be like the duck, and the world like flowing water,
Safe from the depths of the endless sea.
بچهٔ بط مین بحر عمانخربطی باز گشته کشتی بان
The duckling is in the middle of the Sea of Oman,
While a blockhead has become the ship's captain.
یارب این خربطان عالم راکم کن از بهر عز آدم را
O Lord, diminish these blockheads of the world,
For the sake of the honor of mankind.
قدم ار در ره قدم داریقلزمی را ز دست نگذاری
If you set your foot on the path of eternity,
You will not let go of the great ocean.
قدمی را که با قدم بقل ستسطح بیرونی محیط پل ست
The foot that is bound to eternity,
The outer surface of the ocean is its bridge.
