بخش ۶ - در فضیلت امیرالمؤمنین علی بن ابیطالب علیه السلام / Section 6 - On the Virtue of the Commander of the Faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib, Peace Be Upon Him

Original content

سپهر معرفت خورشید انور
امیرالمؤمنین کرار صفدر

امام مطلق ارباب بینش
بدانش آفتاب آفرینش

چو او شیر حق آمد داغ حق داشت
بمردی و جوانمردی سبق داشت

اسد چون خانهٔ خورشید باشد
علی کالشمس ازو جاوید باشد

چو اصل اهل بیت افتاد حیدر
بلی بایست شهر علم رادر

چو شهر علم دین پیغمبر آمد
اگر بابیست آن را حیدر آمد

چو بیت آفتاب ذوالجلالست
گرش شیر خدا خوانی حلالست

چنین گفت او که در دین حق تعالی
مرا دادست در علم آن کمالی

که گردرباء بسم الله ز اسرار
کنم تضیف بیش از ده شتروار

بهر حرف از کلام صانع پاک
کنم هر دم هزاران معنی ادراک

چو دنیا را طلاقی داد جانش
مگر انگشتری ماند از آنش

خداوندش یکی سایل فرستاد
که آمد در نمازش پیش، استاد

که در دین تو دنیا بند جانست
تو میدانی که این خاتم از آنست

چو شد زین سر عالی سرفراز او
بسایل داد خاتم در نماز او

نمازش را چو خاتم در نگنجید
بجز حق ذرهیی هم درنگنجید

نمازش چون حضوری معتبر داشت
کی از پیکان برون کردن خبر داشت

کسی کو در حقیقت تشنه جانست
که کلی سیر از کار جهانست

اگر آبیش میباید که جان خورد
ز دست ساقی کوثر توان خورد

عزیزی کو دو چشم راه بین داشت
سه روح ازچاریار راستین داشت

ترا از زهر بدعت گر گزندست
همین تریاق اربع سودمندست

English translation

The sphere of gnosis, the luminous sun, The Commander of the Faithful, the repeated charger, the breaker of ranks. The absolute Imam of the masters of insight, In knowledge, the sun of creation. Since he was the Lion of God, he bore the mark of God, In courage and chivalry, he took the lead. When Leo is the house of the sun, Ali, like the sun, shall be eternal because of it. Since Haidar was the origin of the Household, Indeed, the city of knowledge required a gate. Since the Prophet is the city of the knowledge of religion, If there is a gate to it, it is Haidar. Since he is the house of the sun of the Lord of Majesty, If you call him the Lion of God, it is lawful. He said thus: 'In the religion of God the Almighty, He has given me such perfection in knowledge, That if, from the secrets of the letter Ba of Bismillah, I write a commentary, it would load more than ten camels. From every letter of the speech of the Pure Creator, I perceive thousands of meanings at every moment.' When his soul divorced the world, Only a ring remained to him of it. His Lord sent a beggar to him, Who stood before him while he was in prayer. [Saying] 'In your religion, the world is a shackle to the soul, You know that this signet ring is of the world.' Since he was exalted by this sublime secret, He gave the ring to the beggar while in his prayer. Since a ring could not be contained in his prayer, Not a single atom other than God was contained therein. Since his prayer possessed a verified presence, How could he have been aware of the pulling out of the arrow-head? Whoever is truly thirsty in soul, And entirely sated with the affairs of the world, If he needs water for his soul to drink, He can drink it from the hand of the Cupbearer of Kauthar. The beloved one who had two path-seeing eyes, Had three spirits from the four true companions. If you suffer harm from the poison of heresy, This fourfold antidote is highly beneficial.
