بخش ۱ - دیباچه / Section 1 - Prologue

Original content

به نام آن که جان را فکرت آموخت
چراغ دل به نور جان برافروخت

ز فضلش هر دو عالم گشت روشن
ز فیضش خاک آدم گشت گلشن

توانایی که در یک طرفةالعین
ز کاف و نون پدید آورد کونین

چو قاف قدرتش دم بر قلم زد
هزاران نقش بر لوح عدم زد

از آن دم گشت پیدا هر دو عالم
وز آن دم شد هویدا جان آدم

در آدم شد پدید این عقل و تمییز
که تا دانست از آن اصل همه چیز

چو خود را دید یک شخص معین
تفکر کرد تا خود چیستم من

ز جزوی سوی کلی یک سفر کرد
وز آنجا باز بر عالم گذر کرد

جهان را دید امر اعتباری
چو واحد گشته در اعداد ساری

جهان خلق و امر از یک نفس شد
که هم آن دم که آمد باز پس شد

ولی آن جایگه آمد شدن نیست
شدن چون بنگری جز آمدن نیست

به اصل خویش راجع گشت اشیا
همه یک چیز شد پنهان و پیدا

تعالی الله قدیمی کو به یک دم
کند آغاز و انجام دو عالم

جهان خلق و امر اینجا یکی شد
یکی بسیار و بسیار اندکی شد

همه از وهم توست این صورت غیر
که نقطه دایره ست از سرعت سیر

یکی خط است از اول تا به آخر
بر او خلق جهان گشته مسافر

در این ره انبیا چون ساربانند
دلیل و رهنمای کاروانند

وز ایشان سید ما گشته سالار
هم او اول هم او آخر در این کار

احد در میم احمد گشت ظاهر
در این دور اول آمد عین آخر

ز احمد تا احد یک میم فرق است
جهانی اندر آن یک میم غرق است

بر او ختم آمده پایان این راه
در او منزل شده «ادعوا الی الله»

مقام دلگشایش جمع جمع است
جمال جانفزایش شمع جمع است

شده او پیش و دل ها جمله از پی
گرفته دست دل ها دامن وی

در این ره اولیا باز از پس و پیش
نشانی داده اند از منزل خویش

به حد خویش چون گشتند واقف
سخن گفتند در معروف و عارف

یکی از بحر وحدت گفت انا الحق
یکی از قرب و بعد و سیر زورق

یکی را علم ظاهر بود حاصل
نشانی داد از خشکی ساحل

یکی گوهر برآورد و هدف شد
یکی بگذاشت آن نزد صدف شد

یکی در جزو و کل گفت این سخن باز
یکی کرد از قدیم و محدث آغاز

یکی از زلف و خال و خط بیان کرد
شراب و شمع و شاهد را عیان کرد

یکی از هستی خود گفت و پندار
یکی مستغرق بت گشت و زنار

سخن ها چون به وفق منزل افتاد
در افهام خلایق مشکل افتاد

کسی را کاندر این معنی است حیران
ضرورت می شود دانستن آن

English translation

In the name of Him who taught the soul to think, Who kindled the heart's lamp with the light of the soul. By His grace, both worlds became bright, By His bounty, the dust of Adam became a rose garden. The Powerful One who, in the twinkling of an eye, Brought the two worlds into existence from Kâf and Nûn (Kun - 'Be'). When the Qâf of His power breathed upon the pen, It struck thousands of images on the tablet of non-existence. From that breath both worlds became manifest, And from that breath the soul of Adam became evident. In Adam appeared this intellect and discernment, So that through it he knew the origin of all things. When he saw himself as a specific individual, He pondered: 'What am I myself?' He made a journey from the part toward the whole, And from there he passed again over the world. He saw the world as a conceptual matter, Like the One that has permeated through numbers. The world of creation and command came from a single breath, Which at the very moment it came, went back again. But in that place there is no coming and going, Going, when you look, is nothing but coming. Things returned to their original source, Hidden and apparent all became one thing. Exalted is the Eternal God who in a single breath, Makes the beginning and the end of the two worlds. The world of creation and command here became one, The one became many and the many became few. This form of the 'other' is all from your illusion, For the dot is a circle from the speed of its movement. There is one line from the beginning to the end, Upon which the creatures of the world have become travelers. On this path the prophets are like caravan leaders, They are the guides and directors of the caravan. And from among them our Master has become the chief, He is both the first and the last in this matter. Ahad (The One) became manifest in the mim of Ahmad, In this cycle the first came to be the very last. From Ahmad to Ahad there is a difference of one mim, A world is drowned in that one mim. Upon him this path has reached its conclusion, In him the 'Invite to Allah' has become a dwelling place. His heart-expanding station is the gathering of gatherings, His soul-increasing beauty is the candle of the gathering. He has gone ahead and the hearts are all following, The hands of the hearts have grasped his hem. On this path the saints again, from behind and ahead, Have given a sign of their own dwelling place. When they became aware of their own limit, They spoke about the Known and the Knower. One spoke of 'I am the Truth' from the ocean of unity, One of nearness and distance and the sailing of the boat. One had acquired the exoteric knowledge, And gave a sign of the dryness of the shore. One brought forth a pearl and became the target, One left that and went near the shell. One spoke this word again about the part and the whole, One began from the eternal and the created. One explained about the tress and mole and down, Made evident the wine and candle and witness (beloved). One spoke of his own existence and illusion, One became immersed in the idol and the zunnar (zoroastrian belt). Since the words fell according to their station, They fell as a difficulty in the understandings of the creatures. For someone who is bewildered in this meaning, It becomes a necessity to know it.
