بخش ۱۱۴ - مناجات در انتقال از دولتخواهی ارباب سلطنت به نیکخواهی ارکان دولت / Section 114 - Supplication in Transitioning from Well-Wishing for the Sovereigns to Well-Wishing for the Pillars of the State

Original content

ای ز عدل تو سماوات به پای
نور عدلت ز زمین ظلم زدای

عدل شاهان که به هر خیر و شریست
از جهانداری عدلت اثریست

نام تو عدل بود کار تو عدل
آشکارا شده آثار تو عدل

ظلم هایی که به عالم پیداست
همه عدل است ولی ظلم نماست

همه از توست بلی کی شاید
کز تو کاری که نه عدل است آید

نسبت ظلم به تو نیست ادب
ظلمت ماش دهد ظلم لقب

جام عدلی به سر جامی ریز
کش ز مستی نکند ظلم انگیز

معتدل ساز ازان جام او را
به ز آغاز کن انجام او را

از همه ظلم رهایی بخشش
دولت عدل نمایی بخشش

تا به هر سفله که ظلم اندوزد
رستن از ظلمت ظلم آموزد

English translation

O You by whose justice the heavens are sustained, The light of Your justice dispels oppression from the earth. The justice of kings, in every good and evil, Is but a trace of the world-governing of Your justice. Your name is Justice, Your work is Justice, Your signs have manifest as Justice. The oppressions that are apparent in the world, Are all justice, though they appear as oppression. All is from You, yes, how could it be That a deed which is not justice should come from You? Attributing oppression to You is not courteous, It is our own darkness that labels it as oppression. Pour a cup of justice upon Jami's head, So that from its intoxication, he does not incite oppression. Make him balanced by that cup, Make his end better than his beginning. Grant him deliverance from all oppression, Grant him the blessing of showing justice, So that to any base person who amasses oppression, He may teach deliverance from the darkness of oppression.
