بخش ۷۱ - فی الإخلاص و المخلصون علی خطرٍ عظیمٍ / Section 71 - On Sincerity and 'The Sincere are in Grave Danger'

Original content

چون ز درگاه تست گو می مال
خواب را زیر پای خیل خیال

همچو شمع آنکه را نماند منی
در تو خندد چو گردنش بزنی

با تو با جاه و عقل و زر چکنم
دین و دنیا تویی دگر چکنم

تو مرا دل ده و دلیری بین
رو به خویش خوان و شیرین بین

گر ز تیر تو پر کنم ترکش
کمر کوه قاف گیرم کش

یار آنی که بی خرد نبود
وان آنی که آن خود نبود

من چو درمانده ام درم بگشای
ره چو گم کرده ام رهم بنمای

هیچ خودبین خدای بین نبود
مرد خود دیده مرد دین نبود

گر تو مرد شریعت و دینی
یک زمان دور شو ز خود بینی

ای خداوند کردگار غفور
بنده را از درت مگردان دور

بستهٔ خویش کن ببر خوابم
تشنهٔ خویش کن مده آبم

دل از این و از آن چه باید جست
درد خود رهنمای مقصد تست

عمر ضایع همی کنی در کار
همچو خر پیش سبزه بی افسار

گرد هر شهر هرزه می گردی
خر در آن ره طلب که گم کردی

خر اگر در عراق دزدیدند
پس ترا چون به یزد و ری دیدند

پل بود پیش تا نگردی کل
چون شدی کل ترا چه بحر و چه پل

اندرین ره ز داد و دانش خویش
بار ساز و ز هیچ پل مندیش

قصد کشتی مکن که پر خطرست
مرد کشتی ز بحر بی خبرست

گرچه نو خیز و نو گرفت بود
بط کشتی طلب شگفت بود

بچهٔ بط اگر چه دینه بود
آب دریاش تا به سینه بود

تو چو بط باش و دنیی آب روان
ایمن از قعر بحر بی پایان

بچهٔ بط مین بحر عمان
خربطی باز گشته کشتی بان

یارب این خربطان عالم را
کم کن از بهر عز آدم را

قدم ار در ره قدم داری
قلزمی را ز دست نگذاری

قدمی را که با قدم بقل ست
سطح بیرونی محیط پل ست

English translation

Since it is from Your threshold, tell him to rub Sleep under the feet of the host of imagination. Like a candle, he who has no selfhood left Will smile at You when You strike off his head. With You, what should I do with status, intellect, and gold? You are my religion and my world, what else should I do? Give me heart and behold my bravery, Call me to Yourself and see how sweet it is. If I fill my quiver with Your arrows, I will easily grasp the waist of Mount Qaf. You are the companion of the one who is not unwise, And the owner of the one who does not belong to himself. Since I am helpless, open the door for me; Since I have lost the path, show me the way. No self-conceited person was ever a God-seer; The self-observing man was not a man of religion. If you are a man of Sharia and religion, For a moment, step away from self-conceit. O Lord, forgiving Creator, Do not turn Your servant away from Your door. Make me bound to You, take away my sleep; Make me thirsty for You, do not give me water. Why should one seek a heart from this one and that one? Your own pain is the guide to your destination. You waste your life in labor, Like an unbridled donkey before green pastures. You wander aimlessly around every town; Seek the donkey on the road where you lost it. If the donkey was stolen in Iraq, How then did they see you in Yazd and Rey? A bridge lies ahead until you become weary; When you become weary, what is the sea and what is the bridge to you? On this path, from your own justice and knowledge, Make your provisions, and do not think of any bridge. Do not intend to board the ship, for it is full of peril; The man of the ship is unaware of the sea. Though it be newly risen and newly caught, It is strange for a duck to seek a ship. Even if the duckling was born only yesterday, The water of the sea reaches only to its chest. Be like the duck, and the world like flowing water, Safe from the depths of the endless sea. The duckling is in the middle of the Sea of Oman, While a blockhead has become the ship's captain. O Lord, diminish these blockheads of the world, For the sake of the honor of mankind. If you set your foot on the path of eternity, You will not let go of the great ocean. The foot that is bound to eternity, The outer surface of the ocean is its bridge.
