بخش ۱۳ - فی فضیلة امیرالمؤمنین علی رضی الله عنه / Section 13 - On the Virtue of the Commander of the Faithful Ali, May Allah Be Pleased with Him

Original content

رونقی کان دین پیغامبر گرفت
از امیرمؤمنان حیدر گرفت

چون امیر نحل شیر فحل شد
ز آهن او سنگ موم نحل شد

میر نحل از دست و جان خویش بود
زانکه علمش نوش وتیغش نیش بود

گفت اگر در رویم آید صد سپاه
کس نبیند پشت من در حرب گاه

روستم گر اهل و گر نااهل بود
چون ز زالی یافت مردی سهل بود

مردی او از خدای لایزال
وان رستم یا ز دستان یا ز زال

شیر حق با تیغ حق دین پروری
همچو زال و رستم دستان گری

او دو مغز است از حسین و از حسن
بل دو مغز است او ازین هر دو سخن

لافتی الا علیش از مصطفاست
وز خداوند جهانش هل اتی است

ازدو دستش لافتی آمد پدید
وز سه قرصش هل اتی آمد پدید

آن سه قرص او چون بیرون شد براه
سرنگون آمد دو قرص مهر و ماه

چون نبی موسی علی هارون بود
گر برادرشان نگوئی چون بود

هر دو هم تخماند و هم دم آمده
موسی و هارون همدم آمده

او چو قلب آل یاسین آمدست
قلب قران یا و سین زین آمدست

قلب قرآن قلب پر قرآن اوست
وال من والاه اندر شأن اوست

ناقة الله بود در سنگ ای عجب
سنگ شق شد ناقه آمد در طلب

چون علی فزت و رب الکعبه گفت
ناقة الله شیر حق را بر گرفت

گر بحق میگوئی الحق بود خوش
اشتر حق شیر حق را بارکش

گر شتر شد ریسمانی در دهن
با حسین طفل از خلق حسن

آنکه اشتر گشت از بهر پسر
او فرستاد اشتر از بهر پدر

اشتر حق کشته اشقی الاولین
شیر حق را کشته اشقی الاخرین

English translation

The splendor that the religion of the Prophet received, It received from the Commander of the Faithful, Haydar. Since the Prince of Bees became a courageous lion, By his iron, stone became beeswax. He was the Prince of Bees by his own hand and soul, For his knowledge was nectar and his sword was a sting. He said, "If a hundred armies come against me, No one will see my back on the battlefield." Rustam, whether he was worthy or unworthy, Since he found manliness from Zal, it was easy. His (Ali's) manliness was from the Eternal God, And that of Rustam was either from Dastan or Zal. The Lion of Truth, with the sword of truth, nurtures religion, Acting like Zal and Rustam of Dastan. He has two kernels, Husayn and Hasan, Nay, he has two kernels from both of these words. "There is no youth but Ali" is his from Mustafa, And from the Lord of the World, "Hal Ata" is his. From his two hands, "There is no youth" appeared, And from his three loaves of bread, "Hal Ata" appeared. When those three loaves of his went out on the way, The two discs of the sun and moon were humbled. Since the Prophet was Moses, Ali was Aaron; If you do not call them brothers, how would it be? Both are of the same seed and have become companions, Moses and Aaron have become companions. Since he has come as the heart of the family of Yasin, The heart of the Quran, Ya and Sin, has come from this. The heart of the Quran is his heart full of the Quran, "Befriend him who befriends him" is in his honor. The She-Camel of God was in the stone, O wonder! The stone split open and the she-camel came seeking. When Ali said, "By the Lord of the Kaaba, I have succeeded!" The She-Camel of God took up the Lion of Truth. If you speak truly, indeed it was fitting: The Camel of Truth carrying the Lion of Truth. If he became a camel with a rope in his mouth, With the child Husayn, out of good character; He who became a camel for the sake of the son, He (God) sent a camel for the sake of the father. The Camel of Truth was killed by the most wretched of the former ones, The Lion of Truth was killed by the most wretched of the latter ones.
