متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

درآمد یک شبی جبریل از دور	براقی برق رو آورد از نور
One night Gabriel arrived from afar, Bringing a lightning-paced Buraq made of light,
که ای مهتر ازین زندان گذر کن	بدارالملک روحانی سفر کن
Who said: 'O leader, pass beyond this prison; Journey to the spiritual realm.'
که بسیار انبیاء و مرسلین اند	بهر جانب جهانی حور عین اند
For there are many prophets and messengers, And on every side there is a world of pure-eyed houris.
همه بر ره نشسته چشم بر راه	ز بهر رویت ای خورشید درگاه
All are sitting by the path, watching the way, To behold your face, O sun of the Divine Court.
فکنده خویشتن حوران ز غرفه	که تا زیشان مگر گیری به تحفه
The houris have leaned out of their chambers, In the hope that you might take something from them as a gift.
فتاده در ملایک بانک و غلغل	که تا ز آن سوی رانی بوک دلدل
A clamor and commotion has risen among the angels, Wishing that you might ride the Duldul on that side.
همه شب اختران عالم افروز	سپند چشم می سوزند تا روز
All night long, the world-illuminating stars Burn wild rue against the evil eye until daybreak.
تو خود دانم که چندان داری از نور	که یزدانت فراغت داد از حور
'I know well that you possess such abundance of light That the Almighty has made you free of need for houris.
کنون برخیز پیش آور براقت	که می دانم که چونست اشتیاقت
Now rise and bring forth your Buraq, For I know how intense is your yearning.
دمی در عالم قدسی قدم زن	بگیر آن حلقه را و بر حرم زن
Step for a moment into the holy world; Grasp that ring and strike it against the sanctuary's door.'
چو با حق شد زفان جانت هم راز	ز راز خویش دل با خویش پرداز
When the tongue of your soul became the confidant of the Truth, Let your heart be occupied with its own mystery.
چگونه در قفس بلبل زند پر	از آن پاسخ بدان سان شد پیمبر
How could a nightingale flap its wings in a cage? Hearing that response, the Prophet acted accordingly.
براق برق رو زین خطه خاک	براند و خطبه خواند اول بر افلاک
He rode the lightning-paced Buraq from this earthly realm, And first delivered the sermon upon the heavens.
مدرس شد عباد مخلصین را	سبق داد از حقیقت مرسلین را
He became the teacher of the sincere servants, And gave lessons on Ultimate Truth (Haqiqah) to the messengers.
جهانی انبیا را کار دیده	ز حضرت نور دین بسیار دیده
He saw a world of experienced prophets Who had seen much of the light of faith from the Presence.
ز نور خویش را نابود دیدند	چه می گویم در آتش دود دیدند
By his light they saw themselves as non-existent; What can I say? They saw smoke within the fire.
ز صحن خاک در یک طرفه العین	برآمد تا فضای قاب قوسین
From the courtyard of the earth, in the twinkling of an eye, He ascended to the space of 'two bows' length' (Qab-i Qawsayn).
قدم بر ذروهٔ خلد برین زد	علم بر عرش رب العالمین زد
He set foot upon the summit of the highest paradise, And raised his banner upon the Throne of the Lord of the worlds.
شده فیروزه گردون خروشان	ز بانگ طرقوی سبز پوشان
The turquoise dome of heaven was clamoring With the heralds' cry of 'make way' (turuq) from the green-clad ones.
بآخر هم چنان می شد علو جوی	ملایک صد هزاران طرقوا گوی
In the end, he kept ascending, seeking the heights, While hundreds of thousands of angels cried 'make way!'
کشیده نزل بر مه ماهی از فرش	فکنده حمل بر هم حامل العرش
The fish from the depths to the moon laid out provisions, And the bearers of the Throne cast down their burdens.
بهشت آراسته در بر گشاده	تتق آویخته مسند نهاده
Paradise was adorned, its doors flung open, Curtains hung, and thrones arranged.
فتاده غلغلی در عرش اعظم	که آمد صدر و بدر هر دو عالم
A great roar arose in the Supreme Throne: 'The chief and full moon of both worlds has arrived!'
امیر و سید سادات آمد	سپه سالار موجودات آمد
'The commander and master of masters has come; The general of all created beings has arrived!'
چو در نه پرده نیلی سفر کرد	ورای پرده غیبی گذر کرد
When he journeyed through the nine indigo veils, And passed beyond the veil of the Unseen,
نیامد هیچ چیزی جای گیرش	که بود از هرچ پیش آمد گزیرش
Nothing became an obstacle or captured his interest, For he bypassed everything that came before him.
نکرد از هیچ جانب یک نظر او	رفیقی داشت در اعلا مگر او
He did not cast a single glance to any side, Perhaps because he had a Friend in the Highest.
ز حوران گرچه صحن باغ پر بود	دو چشمش سرمه ما زاغ پر بود
Though the courtyard of the garden was full of houris, His eyes were adorned with the kohl of 'the gaze did not swerve' (ma zagh).
چنان از پیشگه روشن شد آن نور	که روح القدس بیرون ماند از دور
The light shone so brightly from the Presence That the Holy Spirit (Gabriel) was left far behind.
چو روشن شد ز نور حق حوالی	فغان برداشت روح القدس حالی
When the surroundings were illuminated by the Divine Light, The Holy Spirit cried out at once:
که ای سید اگر آیم فراتر	بسوزد بیش ازین پرتو مرا پر
'O Master, if I step any closer, This radiance will burn my wings to ashes.'
تو ای روح الامین پیش جنابی	که شد پیغامبران را زهره آبی
[The Prophet said:] 'O Trustworthy Spirit, you are before a Presence That turns the gall of the prophets to water.
چرا چندین غم شه پر گرفتی	که بانک لو دنوت در گرفتی
Why are you so concerned about your mighty wings, Crying out 'Had I drawn closer...' (law danawt)?
هزاران جان همی سوزد درین راه	ترا گو پر بسوز ای پیک درگاه
Thousands of souls are burning in this path; Let your wings burn too, O messenger of the Court!
نمی دانند صدیقان سر از پای	غم پر می خوری آخر چنین جای
The truthful (siddiqan) know not their head from their feet, Yet you worry about your wings in such a place?
اگردر قرب این حضرت خرامی	بسوزی پر چه مرد این مقامی
If you pace in the proximity of this Presence, You will burn your wings; you are not made for this station.
تو ای روح الامین بنشین به درگاه	مشو رنجه که لی وقت مع الله
O Trustworthy Spirit, sit at the threshold, Do not trouble yourself, for 'I have a time with God' (li waqt ma'a Allah).
تو شاگرد منی بنشین به سامان	بپرس از من که احسان چیست و ایمان
You are my student, sit properly; Ask me what spiritual excellence (ihsan) and faith (iman) are.
گذشت از نوبت قولا ثقیلا	تو بر در باش اکنون جبرئیلا
The turn of 'a heavy word' (qawlan thaqilan) has passed; O Gabriel, stay at the door now!
ترا در اندرون پرده ره نیست	که هر سرهنگ مرد بارگه نیست
You have no path behind the inner veil, For not every officer is a courtier of the chamber.
منم در نور حق پروانه کردار	تویی در پر طاووسی گرفتار
I am like a moth in the Divine Light, You are trapped in your peacock feathers.
پناه از حق طلب از پر چه جویی	سخن در سر رود از پر چه گویی
Seek refuge in God, why seek it in your wings? When the secret is told, why speak of wings?'
هزاران جان پر اسرار حکمت	فدای جان آن دریای عصمت
Thousands of souls filled with secrets of wisdom Are sacrificed for the soul of that sea of purity.
ز روح القدس چون برتر گذشت او	ز هر چش پیش آمد درگذشت او
When he passed higher than the Holy Spirit, He transcended everything that lay ahead of him.
بقدر آنجا که مهتر را محل بود	زحل آنجا به نسبت در وحل بود
At the place where the Master's station lay, Saturn, by comparison, was stuck in the mud.
چنان نزدیک حق شد جانش از نور	که از وی جبرئیل افتاد از دور
His soul drew so close to God through light That Gabriel fell far away from him.
بصورت آنک جبریل امین بود	که یک پر ز آسمانش بر زمین
In form, that Trustworthy Gabriel, One of whose wings reached from heaven to earth,
چنان آنجا ز مهتر دور بود او	که مهتر را چو گنجشگی نمود او
Was so distant from the Master there, That to the Master, he appeared as small as a sparrow.
چو بگذشت از جهت ره گشت باریک	به آخر شد به رب العزه نزدیک
When he passed beyond spatial direction, the path grew narrow, In the end, he drew close to the Lord of Glory.
چه گویم من در آن حضرت که چون بود	که آن دم از وجود خود برون بود
What can I say of what it was like in that Presence? For at that moment, he was out of his own existence.
در آن قربت دلش پر موج اسرار	وزان دهشت زفانش رفت از کار
In that proximity, his heart was a surging wave of secrets, And from that awe, his tongue ceased to function.
چو گل برگ حیا خوی کرده جانش	خیال وهم را پی کرده جانش
His soul was perspiring like a rose petal of modesty, Having severed the feet of the horse of imagination.
ز حس بگذشت وز جان هم گذر کرد	چو بی خود شد ز خود در حق نظر کرد
He transcended the senses and passed beyond the soul; When he became selfless, he gazed upon the Truth.
همی چندان که چشمش کار می کرد	دلش در چشم او دیدار می کرد
As far as his eyes could see, His heart was beholding through his eyes.
چو از درگه به خلوتگه فرو رفت	درآمد نور ربانی و او رفت
When he descended from the court to the sanctuary of privacy, The Divine Light entered and he (his self) departed.
در آن هیبت محمد مانده بی کار	محمد از محمد گشت بیزار
In that awe, Muhammad was left inactive; Muhammad became free of Muhammad.
چو حق می دید کو می زد پر و بال	به دلداری سلامش گفت در حال
As the Truth saw him fluttering his wings, He immediately greeted him with comfort.
از آن حالت دمی با خویشش آورد	سلامی و علیکی پیشش آورد
For a moment He brought him back to himself from that state, Offering him greeting and response.
خطاب آمد که دع نفسک درون آی	به بی یسمع و بی ینطق برون آی
The address came: 'Abandon your self and enter; Come forth with 'through Me he hears and through Me he speaks.'
بخواه از آرزویی هست زودت	چرا بی خود شدی آخر چه بودت
Ask quickly for whatever desire you have; Why did you lose yourself, what came over you?
کنون چون سوختی بر هم بتان را	شفاعت کن زمانی امتان را
Now that you have burned all the idols, Intercede for a moment on behalf of your communities.
یتیمی وز یتیمی این بدیع است	که خلق هر دو عالم را شفیع است
You are an orphan, and from this orphanhood it is wondrous That he is the intercessor for the creation of both worlds.
فقیری وز فقیری این شگفت است	که عرش و فرش صیت او گرفتست
You are poor, and from this poverty it is amazing That his fame has filled the Throne and the earth.
مرایی، گر یتیمی گرچه درویش	ترا ام من ترا این از همه بیش
Behold Me, though you are an orphan and poor, I am yours; this is for you above all else.
چه باکست از فقیری، فقر فخرست	که خال الوجه فی الدارین فقرست
What fear is there of poverty? Poverty is pride, For poverty is the beauty-spot on the face of both worlds.
