بخش ۱۷ - اندر جان و دل و تن گوید / Section 17 - On the Soul, Heart, and Body, He Speaks

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

از در تن که صاحب کلهستتا به دل صدهزار ساله رهست
From the door of the body, which possesses a crown,
To the heart is a journey of a hundred thousand years.
هست بر سالکان به وقت رحیلهمچو موسی و خصم و منزل نیل
For seekers at the time of departure, it is
Like Moses, the enemy, and the station of the Nile.
لیک بر وی چو بسته گردد کارنار گردد به عاقبت دینار
But when affairs become blocked for him,
Ultimately, the dinar turns into fire.
تا خدای آن رهی که در بندستهمچو زنجیر در هم افگندست
Until God intertwines that path which is bound,
Like a chain thrown together.
پاره ای راه نیک داری پیشاز در نفس تا در دل خویش
You have a considerable portion of the good path ahead,
From the door of the ego to the door of your own heart.
راه دل مر ترا نه این راهستعقل از آن قاصرست و کوتاهست
Your path to the heart is not this path;
The intellect is deficient and falls short of it.
راه جسم تو سوی دل بمثلهست چون حیز و منزل اول
The path of your body toward the heart, as an example,
Is like the weakling and the first stage.
که همی هردمی ز رنجوریگفتی ای مکه وه که بس دوری
Who continuously, at every moment from affliction,
Would say: 'O Mecca, alas, how very far you are!'
نقش مکه سه حرف دل تنگستجز به رفتن هزار فرسنگست
The shape of Mecca is three narrow letters,
Yet in traveling there it is a thousand parasangs.
هست بر سالکان به وقت بسیچراه دل را چو زلف زنگی پیچ
For the seekers, at the time of preparation,
The path of the heart is full of twists like a Zangi's hair.
لیک بر وی چو گرم گشت آتشراه گردد چو طبع زنگی خوش
But when the fire grows warm upon him,
The path becomes pleasant like a Zangi's nature.
آنکه ره را به جد نگیرد پیشهمچو زنگی بماند او درویش
He who does not earnestly undertake the path,
Will remain impoverished like a Zangi.
وانکه رفت از سر طرب در رههمچو زنگی بود به دل ابله
And he who travels the path out of mere mirth,
Will be a fool at heart, like a Zangi.
دین ندارد کسی که اندر دلمر ورا نیست مغز دل حاصل
He has no religion, the one who in his heart,
Has not attained the marrow (core) of the heart.
این چنین پر خلل دلی که تراستدد و دامند با تو زین دل راست
A heart so full of defects as yours,
Makes wild beasts and predators equal to you through this heart.
پاره ای گوشت نام دل کردیدل تحقیق را بحل کردی
You have named a piece of flesh the 'heart',
You have let go of the true heart of realization.
تو ز دل غافلی و بی خبریدگرست آن دل و تو خود دگری
You are negligent and unaware of the heart,
That heart is something else, and you yourself are something else.
دل بود راه آن جهانی تولیک دل را ز ده ندانی تو
The heart is your path to that (other) world,
But you do not know the heart from the village mud.
پر و بال خرد ز دل باشدتن بی دل جوال گل باشد
The wings and feathers of intellect are from the heart;
A body without a heart is a sack of mud.
خشک و بی بر بمانده اندر گلچون برند از درخت خرما دل
It remains dry and fruitless in the mud,
When they cut the core (heart) from the date palm.
باطن تو حقیقت دل تستهرچه جز باطن تو باطل تست
Your inward reality is the truth of your heart,
Anything other than your inward reality is your falsehood.
دین ز دل خیزد و خرد ز دماغدین چو روز آمد و خرد چو چراغ
Religion arises from the heart, and intellect from the brain,
Religion is like the day, and intellect like a lamp.
آفتابی بباید انجم سوزبه چراغ تو شب نگردد روز
A star-burning sun is required,
With your lamp, the night will not turn into day.
آن چنان دل که وقت پیچاپیچجز خدای اندرو نباشد هیچ
Such a heart is one that, in times of turmoil,
Contains nothing within it except God.
نه چنان دل که از پی تلبیسهست مردار گلخن ابلیس
Not a heart that, through deception,
Is the carrion of the furnace of Satan.
دل یکی منظریست ربانیاندرو طرح و فرش نورانی
The heart is a divine panorama,
Within it are luminous designs and carpets.
از سر جهل و روی نادانیحجرهٔ دیو را چه دل خوانی
From sheer ignorance and the face of foolishness,
Why do you call the chamber of the demon a 'heart'?
هست معراج دل به وقت فراغقاب قوسین عقل و شرع دماغ
The ascension of the heart at the time of freedom,
Is the 'two bow-lengths' of intellect and the law of the brain.
از در چشم تا به کعبهٔ دلعاشقان را هزار و یک منزل
From the door of the eye to the Kaaba of the heart,
Lovers have a thousand and one stages.
خاص خواند هزار و یک نامشعام داند هزار و یک دامش
The elite call it a thousand and one names,
The commoner knows it as a thousand and one snares.
آنکه بودند خواجه صاحب دلپیش رفتند از تو صد منزل
Those who were the masters, possessors of the heart,
Have advanced a hundred stages ahead of you.
بنشستد بر بساط سماطتو بمانده پیاده هم به رباط
They have sat at the spread of the banquet,
While you have remained a foot-soldier even at the inn.
اصل هزل و مجاز دل نبوددوزخ خشم و آز دل نبود
The root of mockery and metaphor is not the heart,
The hell of wrath and greed is not the heart.
دل که او را سر بدست و بهستدل مخوانش که آن نه دل که دهست
A heart that is inclined towards worse and better,
Do not call it a heart, for that is not a heart but a village.
دل که با چیز این جهان شد خویشدان که زان دل دلی نیاید بیش
A heart that becomes familiar with the things of this world,
Know that from such a heart, nothing more of a heart will emerge.
اینت غبنی که یک رمه جاهلخوانده شکل صنوبری را دل
What a deception it is that a flock of ignorant people,
Have called the pine-cone shape the 'heart'!
این که دل نام کرده ای به مجازرو به پیش سگان کوی انداز
This which you have metaphorically named a heart,
Go and throw it before the dogs of the alley.
دل که بر عقل مهتری داردنه به شکل صنوبری دارد
The heart that holds mastery over the intellect,
Does not have a pine-cone shape.
دل که با مال و جاه دارد کاراین سگی دان و آن دو را مردار
The heart that concerns itself with wealth and status,
Consider it a dog, and those two as carrion.
