بخش ۱۸ - مناجات در شکرگزاری نعمت کلام موزون و طبگاری توفیق برآوردن دلایل هستی خداوند بیچون جل ذکره و عم بره / Section 18 - Supplication in Thanksgiving for the Blessing of Measured Speech, and Requesting Success in Producing Proofs of the Existence of the Incomparable God, May His Mention Be Exalted and His Grace Be Universal

Original content

ای سخن را چو گهر سنجیده
خلعت نظم در او پوشیده

کرده تمییز صحیحش ز سقیم
به ترازو زنی طبع سلیم

می کند وزن سخن نظم پرست
نه ترازوش پدیدار نه دست

طبع را دست و ترازو تو دهی
بر سخن قوت بازو تو دهی

اثر صنع بدیدن سهل است
زان به صانع نرسیدن جهل است

جامی غرق خجالت مانده
بر جبین آب خجالت رانده

نز گلش سبزه احسان خیزد
نز دلش نکته عرفان خیزد

گرچه روزی خور هر روزه توست
دست امید به دریوزه توست

فیضی از ابر یقین بر وی ریز
تا درین مدرسه وسوسه خیز

هر چه دریوزه ز جود تو کند
صرف برهان وجود تو کند

English translation

O You who have weighed speech like a jewel, And clothed it in the robe of verse, Distinguishing its correct from its faulty, With the balance-striking of a sound temperament. The worshiper of verse weighs speech, While neither his balance nor his hand is visible. You give the hand and balance to the temperament, You give power of arm to speech. Seeing the effect of creation is easy, But failing to reach the Creator through it is ignorance. Jami has remained drowned in shame, The water of embarrassment flowing on his forehead, No greenery of benevolence rises from his clay, No point of mystical knowledge rises from his heart. Though he is your daily consumer of sustenance, The hand of hope is begging from You. Pour a grace from the cloud of certainty upon him, So that in this temptation-arousing school, Whatever he begs from Your generosity, He may spend it on the proof of Your existence.
