بخش ۱۶ - اندر معنی دل و جان و درجات آن ذکرالقلب انفع لان شأنه رافع / Section 16 - On the Meaning of the Heart and Soul and Their Degrees: The Mention of the Heart is More Beneficial Because Its Status is Exalted

Original content

جد زند بوسه بر ستانهٔ دل
هزل نبود کلید خانهٔ دل

دل به رشوت پذیرد از جان نور
کی بود زیردست رضوان حور

وزن سر همچو وزن سر سبکست
برگ دل همچو برگ گل تنکست

بر در اهل دل به وقت طعام
گندمی گزدمی بود ز حرام

چون نشویی همی دل از باطل
رقم گازران منه بر دل

دل که باشد سیاه چون پر زاغ
صید طاووس کی کند در باغ

دل آنکس که هست بر تن شاه
جانش را هست جامهٔ درگاه

باز چشم تو در ره اسباب
هست سوی شراب و جامهٔ خواب

چند باشی به غفلت ای بد رگ
دل تو در گل و تو خفته چو سگ

چو سگ آبستنی تو ای جاهل
سگ دیوانه داری اندر دل

خوی و طبع بد سگان داری
همچو سگ توشه استخوان داری

سگ دیوانه را بکش به عذاب
زانکه اندر ره درنگ و شتاب

هرکه را او گزید هم برجای
شود از بیم گربه سگ بچه زای

ذره ای نور اگر به دست آری
بی تعب جسر نار بگذاری

ور نداری تو نور نار شوی
پیش پروردگار خوار شوی

از در تن ترا به منزل دل
نیست جز درد دل دگر حاصل

راه جسم تو سوی منزل جان
حایلی دان تو زین چهار ارکان

پر و بال خرد ز جان زاید
از تن تیره جان و دل ناید

باطن تو دل تو دان بدرست
هرچه جز باطن تو باطل تست

موضع دین دلست و مغز و دماغ
همچو بزر و فتیله نور چراغ

دل بود همچو شمس انجم سوز
که تواند نمود چهره به روز

دل که بر نفس مهتری یابد
بر همه سروران سری یابد

نه چنان دل که از پی دنیی
بفروشد به اندکی عقبی

اصل حرص و نیاز دل نبود
مایهٔ دل ز آب گل نبود

دل که باشد چنین امانی دوست
نه دلست آنکه هست پارهٔ گوشت

دل که باشد ز تو امانی خواه
نبود از حال ایزدی آگاه

پاره ای گوشت گنده باشد و بس
که مر آنرا به کس ندارد کس

بد شود تن چو دل تباه بود
ظلم لشکر ز ضعف شاه بود

چون سر ظلم و جور دارد شاه
برگشاید به ظلم دست سپاه

ستم اندر جهان نه ز آب و گلست
این همه ظلمها ز کبر دلست

گر دلت نیستی به صورت زاغ
همه طاوس گیردی به چراغ

کوش تا دلت چون قلم گردد
پیش از آن کت امل الم گردد

عاشقان را برای جستن نام
نز برای حصول لذت و کام

یک عتاب و به رفق فرقد خاک
یک حدیث و دو جامه در بر چاک

زان همه کارهات بی نورست
کز تو تا نور راه بس دورست

با چنین دل سفر سقر باشد
سفله از گرگ و سگ بتر باشد

سگ بیوسنده گرگ درنده ست
سفله سالوس و لوس خر بنده ست

پس درین راه توشه از جان ساز
نه ز دلق و عصا و انبان ساز

خویشتن در فکن به زورق دین
که از این ره رسی به علیین

English translation

Seriousness kisses the threshold of the heart Frivolity is not the key to the house of the heart The heart accepts light from the soul as a bribe How can a houri be under the control of Ridwan? The weight of the secret is light like the weight of the head The leaf of the heart is thin like a rose petal At the door of the people of the heart, at mealtime A grain of wheat from the unlawful is like a scorpion Since you do not wash the heart of falsehood Do not put the mark of the bleachers upon the heart The heart that is black as a crow's feather How can it hunt a peacock in the garden? The heart of him who is the king over the body His soul wears the robe of the court Yet your eye, on the path of material causes Is directed toward wine and nightclothes How long will you be in negligence, O vile-veined one? Your heart in the mud, and you asleep like a dog You are like a pregnant dog, O ignorant one You hold a rabid dog within your heart You possess the evil temper and nature of dogs Like a dog, your provision is bones Kill the rabid dog in torment Because on the path of delay and haste Whoever it bites, on the spot Out of fear of the cat, gives birth to a puppy If you obtain a speck of light You will cross the bridge of fire without fatigue And if you have no light, you will become fire You will be disgraced before the Creator From the door of the body to the station of the heart You have no harvest other than heartache The path of your body toward the station of the soul Consider these four elements as a barrier The wings and feathers of intellect are born from the soul From the dark body, neither soul nor heart emerge Know truly that your inward being is your heart Whatever is other than your inward being is your falsehood The place of religion is the heart, the brain, and the mind Like the oil and the wick for the light of the lamp The heart is like the star-burning sun Which can show its face in the day The heart that gains mastery over the ego Finds lordship over all chiefs Not such a heart that for the sake of the world Sells the hereafter for a little The root of greed and need is not the heart The substance of the heart is not from water and clay A heart that is such a lover of vain desires Is not a heart, it is but a piece of flesh The heart that seeks vain desires from you Is not aware of the divine state It is merely a rotten piece of flesh That no one considers as anything The body becomes bad when the heart is ruined The tyranny of the army is from the weakness of the king When the king has tyranny and oppression in his head The army opens its hands to oppression Oppression in the world is not from water and clay All these tyrannies are from the pride of the heart If your heart were not in the form of a crow It would catch all peacocks by the lamp Strive so that your heart becomes like a pen Before your hope becomes pain For lovers to seek a name Not for obtaining pleasure and desire One reproach, and gently the Farqad is dust One tale, and two garments torn on the breast Therefore all your deeds are without light For from you to the light the way is very far With such a heart, the journey is to Hell A base person is worse than a wolf or a dog The expectant dog is a tearing wolf The base person is hypocritical, insipid, and a slave to donkeys Therefore, on this path, make provision from the soul Not from the patched cloak, the staff, and the wallet Throw yourself into the boat of religion For by this path you will reach the highest heavens
