بخش ۷۲ - مناجات در طلب آتش غیرت افروختن و موانع مقام قرب سوختن / Section 72 - Supplication in Seeking to Kindle the Fire of Zeal and Burning the Obstacles to the Station of Proximity

Original content

ای ز غیرت رقم غیر زدای
زین صقیل آینه غیر نمای

جلوه گر در همه اغیار تویی
وز همه گشته نمودار تویی

در همه کون و مکان غیر تو کو
تا کسی بر تو برد غیرت ازو

گرد گشتیم درین خانه بسی
نیست غیر تو درین خانه کسی

هر کسی جسته به غیری پیوند
کرده دل را به غم غیر تو بند

جامی از غیر تو بر دوخته چشم
وز خیال رخت افروخته چشم

چشمش از طلعت خود روشن ساز
بر دلش کن در آن گلشن باز

رو بگردان ز در دورانش
هجرت آموز ز مهجورانش

سوز او ساز فزون روز به روز
ز آتش غیرت غیریت سوز

وادی بعد بر او کوته کن
به سراپرده قربش ره کن

English translation

O You who, out of zeal, erase the mark of otherness from this polished mirror that displays other than You, You are the one manifesting in all others, and You are the one visible through everyone. In all existence and space, where is any other than You, for anyone to feel zeal toward You because of them? We wandered much around this house, and there is no one but You in this house. Everyone has sought a bond with some other, and bound their heart to the sorrow of other than You. Jami has closed his eyes to other than You, and kindled his eyes with the vision of Your face. Brighten his eyes with Your countenance, and open the door of that rose-garden to his heart. Turn his face away from the gate of this world, and teach him emigration from those who are distanced. Increase his burning day by day, with the fire of zeal that burns away all otherness. Shorten the valley of distance for him, and guide his way to the pavilion of Your proximity.
