بخش ۶۶ - اندر صفت صورت عالم / Section 66 - On the Description of the Form of the World

Original content

تو به گوهر ورای دو جهانی
چکنم قدر خود نمی دانی

با زنان نیک هم نبردی تو
با چنین زور مرد مردی تو

چه کمست ای بزرگ زاده ترا
در گشاده ست و خوان نهاده ترا

گر تو خود را در این سرای غرور
از سر جهل و بخل داری دور

پنج نوبت زنی چو عقل و چو جان
بر سر هفت چرخ و چار ارکان

ور قبای فنا بیندازی
به قبیلهٔ بقای حق تازی

بر سه جانت بکن به شبگیری
دو سلام و چهار تکبیری

آخشیجان و گنبد دوار
مردگانند زندگانی خوار

چه کنی در جهان بیم آرش
زانکه بی پرسش است بیمارش

برگذر کین سرای پر وحلست
نردبان پایه عمر و بام اجلست

هرکه بر متن این سرای رسید
باز دستش به دیدگان بکشید

English translation

In your essence, you are beyond both worlds; What can I do, for you do not know your own worth? You are a peer to virtuous women; Yet with such strength, you are a true man among men. What is lacking for you, O noble-born? The door is opened, and the banquet table is laid for you. If you, in this abode of deception, Keep yourself away from ignorance and greed, You will beat the drum five times, like intellect and soul, Over the seven spheres and the four elements. And if you cast off the cloak of mortality, You will hasten to the tribe of God's eternity. At dawn, over your three souls, perform Two greetings of peace and four proclamations of greatness (funeral prayers). The elements and the revolving dome of heaven Are dead things, living a wretched life. What do you do in this world of fear and pain? For its patient is sick without anyone to ask after him. Pass on, for this abode is full of mire; The ladder-rung is life, and the roof is death. Whoever reached the roof of this abode, Rubbed his hand over his eyes in regret.
