متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

جانور را چو خوانش پیش نهادخوردنی از خورنده بیش نهاد
When He laid the table before the animal,
He placed more food than the eater could consume.
همه را روح و روز و روزی از اوستنیک بختی و نیک روزی از اوست
The spirit, the day, and sustenance of all are from Him;
Good fortune and prosperity are from Him.
روزی هریکی پدید آورددر انبارخانه مهر نکرد
He brought forth the sustenance of each one;
He did not place a seal upon the storehouse.
کافر و مؤمن و شقی و سعیدهمه را روزی و حیات جدید
Infidel and believer, wretched and blessed,
All receive their sustenance and a new life.
حاء حاجت هنوزشان در حلقجیم جودش بداده روزی خلق
While the letter 'H' of need (hajat) is still in their throat,
The letter 'J' of His generosity (jood) has given sustenance to the creation.
جز بنان نیست پرورش ما راجز شره نیست نان خورش ما را
We have no nurture except by bread,
We have no condiment except greed.
او ز توجیه بندگان نجهدنان خورش داد نان همو بدهد
He does not shirk from provisioning His servants;
He who gave the condiment will also give the bread.
نان و جان تو در خزینهٔ اوستتو نداری خبر دفینهٔ اوست
Your bread and life are in His treasury;
You have no knowledge of it, it is His hidden treasure.
روزی تو اگر به چین باشداسب کسب تو زیر زین باشد
If your sustenance were in China,
The horse of your earning would be under the saddle.
یا ترا نزد او برد به شتابورنه او را بر تو، تو در خواب
Either it would carry you to it in haste,
Or it would come to you while you are asleep.
نه ترا گفت رازق تو منمعالم سر و عالم علنم
Did He not say to you, 'I am your Provider,
Knower of the secret and Knower of the manifest'?
جان بدادم وجوه نان بدهمهرچه خواهی تو در زمان بدهم
'I gave life, and I will give the means for bread;
Whatever you want, I will give in an instant.'
کار روزی چو روز دان بدرستکه ره آورد روز روزی تست
Know the matter of sustenance to be as clear as day,
For the day's gift is indeed your sustenance.
سفله دارد ز بهر روزی بیمنخورد دیگ گرده حکیم
The base person fears for their sustenance;
A wise person's pot does not consume their round loaf.
نخورد شیر صید خود تنهاچون شود سیر مانده کرد رها
The lion does not eat its prey alone;
When it is satiated, it abandons the rest.
با تو زانجا که لطف یزدانستگرو نان به دست تو جانست
For you, since the grace of God is present,
Your life is held as a pledge for your bread.
غم جان خور که آن نان خورده استتا لب گور گرده بر گرده است
Worry for the soul, for that bread is already consumed;
Up to the edge of the grave, loaf is piled upon loaf.
جان بی نان به کس نداد خدایزانکه از نان بماند جان بر جای
God has not given life to anyone without bread,
Because life is sustained by bread.
این گرو سخت دار و نان می خورچون گرو رفت قوت جان می خور
Hold this pledge firmly and eat bread;
When the pledge departs, consume the food of the soul.
مر زنان راست کهنه تو بر تومرد را روز نو و روزی نو
For women are the old layers upon layers;
For the man, there is a new day and a new sustenance.
روزی تست بر علیم و قدیرتو ز میر و وکیل خشم مگیر
Your sustenance is upon the All-Knowing and All-Powerful;
Do not bear anger towards the prince or the deputy.
آن زمانی که جان ز تن برمیدبه یقین دان که روزیت برسید
At the moment when the soul departs from the body,
Know for certain that your sustenance has been fully delivered.
روزیت از در خدای بودنه ز دندان و حلق و نای بود
Your sustenance was from the door of God;
It was not from the teeth, the throat, and the windpipe.
کدخدایی خدایی است برنجخاصه آنرا که نیست حکمت و گنج
Managing a household is to play lord in distress,
Especially for one who has neither wisdom nor treasure.
کدخدایی همه غم و هوس استکد رها کن ترا خدای بس است
Household management is all grief and desire;
Abandon the house, God is sufficient for you.
اعتماد تو در همه احوالبر خدا به که بر خراس و جوال
Your trust in all circumstances
Is better in God than in the mill and the sack.
ابر اگر نم نداد یک سالتسخت شوریده بینم احوالت
If the cloud gives no moisture for a year,
I see your state extremely troubled.
