بخش ۸ - اندر گشادن دل وی / Section 8 - On the Opening of His Heart

Original content

سینهٔ او گشاد روح نخست
هرچه جز پاک دید پاک بشست

درز برداشت در زمان از وی
بند بگشاد همچنان از وی

سینه ای را که حق حکم باشد
درز بگشادنش چه کم باشد

بهر آن تا کند درین بنیاد
چون رفو بیند از رفوگر یاد

از پر جبرئیل گشت درست
آن جراحت به امر ایزد چست

دل او بودی از خیانت پاک
چون ز اشکال هند تختهٔ خاک

رقم او بود قسمت جان را
تختهٔ خاک امر یزدان را

انبیا گرچه محتشم بودند
جملگی صفر آن رقم بودند

پیش بودند نز پی دونیش
پیش بودند بهر افزونیش

گرچه پیشند پیش از این چه غمست
پیشی صفر بیشی رقمست

حکم او همچو حکمتست روان
عمر او همچو دولتست جوان

دین او در جهان رفیع شده
از پی امتان شفیع شده

بخت او خونبهای پیر و جوان
خردش کیمیای هر دو جهان

بود پاکیزه باطن و ظاهر
خاک عالم ورا شده طاهر

شرع او در بصیرت و احسان
برترست از قیاس و استحسان

ملت درد اصفیا ز گلش
معنی نور انبیا ز دلش

جان یکی فرع او به هفت ندیم
او یکی شرع تو به هفت اقلیم

شوری انگیخت ظاهر و معلوم
بیمش از بوم و بام کلب الروم

همچو پیکان سوی همه نیکان
پر برآورده تیز بی پیکان

بهر پیکان تیرش از تعلیم
لقبش داده حق کتاب کریم

اندر آمد به خوی خوش عاطر
نسخت علم غیب در خاطر

گفت دیدم بهشت مأوی را
سدره و عرش و لوح و طوبی را

دیدم از دل به دیدهٔ لاهوت
در جوامع صوامع ملکوت

لطف فردوس را پسندیدم
قهر زندان عدل هم دیدم

هرچه مکنون غیب حضرت بود
به کم از ساعتی مرا بنمود

داند آنکو دلش ز ریب تهیست
کین همه غیب عالم علویست

واسطه کیست پیش پرده سرای
جز ازو در میان خلق و خدای

گر شریفند و گر وضیع همه
کرم او بود شفیع همه

English translation

The Spirit first opened his breast, And washed clean whatever he saw that was not pure. It split open instantly, And the bonds were likewise untied from him. For a breast which holds the divine wisdom, How could its splitting open be any loss? So that in this foundation, When he sees the mending, he remembers the Mender. By the wing of Gabriel, that wound was healed, Quickly by the command of the Lord. His heart was pure from treachery, Like a dust-board clean of geometric shapes. His sign was the division of the soul, And the dust-board of the command of God. Although the prophets were of high rank, They were all zeros to that number. They were in front, not due to inferiority, They were in front to increase its value. Although they are before, what grief is there in this? For the front-ness of the zero is the increase of the number. His command flows like wisdom, His life is youthful like good fortune. His religion has become exalted in the world, He has become an intercessor for his communities. His fortune is the blood-money of the old and young, His intellect is the alchemy of both worlds. He was pure in both inward and outward, The dust of the world became clean for him. His law in insight and excellence, Is higher than analogy and juristic preference. The religion of the pain of the pure ones is from his clay, The meaning of the light of the prophets is from his heart. The soul is but a branch of him with seven companions, He is the unique law of yours for the seven climes. He raised a commotion, clear and known; Fear of him fell upon the land and roof of Byzantium. Like an arrow-head towards all the good, Fledged and swift without an arrow-head. For the point of his arrow, through instruction, God gave him the title of the 'Noble Book'. He entered with a sweet, fragrant character, With the transcript of the knowledge of the unseen in his mind. He said, 'I saw the Abode of Paradise, The Lote-tree, the Throne, the Tablet, and the Tuba tree. I saw with my heart, through the eyes of the divine nature, The assemblies and hermitages of the celestial realm. I appreciated the grace of Paradise, And I also saw the punishment of the prison of justice. Whatever was hidden in the unseen of the Divine Presence, Was shown to me in less than an hour.' He knows, whose heart is empty of doubt, That all of this is the unseen of the upper world. Who is the mediator before the curtain-holder, Other than him, between creation and God? Whether noble or humble, His generosity is the intercessor for them all.
