متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کسی کو ابن عم مصطفی بودامامت در دو کون او را روا بود
He who was the cousin of Mustafa,
Imamate in both worlds was fitting for him.
دو ابن عم رسول حق چنان داشتکه دینش از هر دو نور جاودان داشت
The Messenger of Truth had two such cousins,
That his religion had eternal light from both.
ز ابن مطلب برخاست امامتچنانک از ابن عباسش خلافت
From Ibn Muttalib arose the Imamate,
Just as from Ibn Abbas came his Caliphate.
اگر اهل طریقت صد هزارندوگر صد، جز طریق او ندارند
Whether the people of the path are a hundred thousand,
Or a hundred, they have no path but his.
یقینم شد که او سلطان جیشستدلیلم، الامیة من قریشست
I became certain that he is the sultan of the army,
My proof is 'The Imams are from Quraysh'.
چو دین صدر عالم بایدم داشتقریشی را مقدم بایدم داشت
Since I must uphold the religion of the foremost of the world,
I must give precedence to a Qurayshi.
دلش تا پیشگه چون بی حسابستکتاب امتش امالکتابست
Since his heart is boundless unto the threshold,
His nation's book is the Mother of the Book.
اگر روزی بدریا راه یابدشود گمنام، بحر آنگاه یابد
If one day it finds its way to the sea,
It becomes nameless, then finds the sea.
چو او در دین پیغمبر فرو شدبجای او نشست آن بحرو او شد
When he immersed himself in the religion of the Prophet,
He sat in his place and became that sea.
چو آن دریا بجای خود روان یافتقریشی و محمد نام ازان یافت
When that sea found flow in its place,
He found the name of Qurayshi and Muhammad from it.
محمد بر زبان او گهر شدچنان کانجا سخن حق بر عمر شد
Muhammad became a pearl on his tongue,
Just as there, the word of truth came upon Umar.
اگر او محو پیغامبر نبودیحدیث و آیتش همبر نبودی
If he were not effaced in the Prophet,
His hadith and verse would not be equal.
حدیث آن بجای این چو برخاستشد از صاحب حدیثی قامتش راست
When the hadith of that one rose in place of this,
His stature became upright through being a master of hadith.
قریشی جدو ادریسش اب آمدطریقت از بهشت این مذهب آمد
A Qurayshi was his ancestor and Idris was his forefather,
The spiritual path of this sect came from Paradise.
چو این مذهب بنا داده به ادریسبهشتش نقد دان اعداش ابلیس
Since this sect's foundation was given to Idris,
Consider its paradise as present cash, and its enemy as Iblis.
نبی بنهاد گنجی جمله رحمتبحصهٔ بوحنیفه کرد قسمت
The Prophet laid down a treasure entirely of mercy,
He divided it as Abu Hanifa's portion.
درآمد شافعی آن گنج عالیچو دید الحق بر او افشاند حالی
Shafi'i entered that exalted treasure,
When he saw the truth, he immediately scattered it.
گرت از مهر کوفی حاصلی نیستچو بوفت جز خرابی منزلی نیست
If you have no harvest from the love of the Kufan [Abu Hanifa],
Like an owl, you have no dwelling but ruins.
چو داری شافعی و بوحنیفهتویی هم مالک دین هم خلیفه
When you have Shafi'i and Abu Hanifa,
You are both the master of religion and the caliph.
وگر این داری اما آن نداریدلی داری ولیکن جان نداری
And if you have this one but not that one,
You have a heart, but you have no soul.
چو ایشانند هردو چشم، دین رابنه سر این دو چشم راه بین را
Since they are both the eyes of the religion,
Bow your head to these two way-seeing eyes.
اگر این هر دو را باهم نداریتو یک عالم ز دو عالم نداری
If you do not have both of them together,
You do not have one world out of the two worlds.
چه میگویی که هر دو در مقابلیکی اندو دو میبینی تو احول
What are you saying, that both are in opposition?
They are one, and you see two, O cross-eyed one!
اگر زیشان تو در دل خشم داریدو چشمت کوربین گر چشم داری
If you hold anger for them in your heart,
Consider your two eyes blind, even if you have eyes.
