بخش ۲۱ - در صفت ارکانی و گردونی با آن جهان الدنیا قنطرةٌ فاعبروها ولا تعمروها / Section 21 - On the Description of the Elemental and the Celestial, with the Other World: The World is a Bridge, so Cross It and Do Not Build Upon It

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آنچه ارکانی و آنچه گردونیستزان جهان پوستهای بیرونیست
Whatever is elemental and whatever is celestial
Are but the outer skins of that world.
هرکه اندر جهان دین باشدهر دمش آسمان زمین باشد
Whoever dwells within the realm of faith,
For him, at every breath, heaven is earth.
مرد تا در جهان دین نرسداز گمان در ره یقین نرسد
Until a man reaches the realm of faith,
He cannot arrive from doubt to the path of certainty.
نردبان سوی گل گرانها راستنردبان سوی دل روانها راست
The ladder toward clay is for the heavy-bodied;
The ladder toward the heart is for the fluid souls.
ز منی دان زمانه ساخته رابینوا خوان فلک نواخته را
Deem him with whom fortune is in league to be full of ego;
Call him who is favored by the cosmos destitute.
خوارتر کس فلک نواخته استزانکه با او زمانه ساخته است
The most abased of persons is the one favored by fortune,
For the world has accommodated him.
هرکه او با زمانه در سازدعقبی او را ز پیش بندازد
Whoever compromises with the world,
The hereafter will cast him aside.
ای در این پست مانده همچون مستشکری سوی جان و دل بفرست
O you who have remained in this low place like a drunkard,
Send sweet thanks toward the soul and the heart.
تو که در بند حرص و آز شدیهمچو زر در دهان گاز شدی
You who have fallen into the bondage of greed and avarice,
Have become like gold in the jaws of the shears.
