بخش ۱۲۹ - مناجات در انتقال به خاتمه / Section 129 - Supplication on Transitioning to the Conclusion

Original content

ای به لطف انجمن جان آرای
تیغ مهرت چمن دل پیرای

دست جودت ز ازل نخل نشان
تا ابد بر سر ما نخل فشان

گرچه از خار ستم بینا نیم
زیر نخل تو رطب چینانیم

در رطب ریزیت از نحل کرم
گر کشد خار ستم تیغ چه غم

کلک جامیت ز نخلت شاخی
ریخته تازه رطب گستاخی

نسزد زین رطب شهد آمیز
کار محرور حسد جز پرهیز

آن زمان کش رود این کلک ز دست
یابد این شاخ رطب ریز شکست

چشم دارد که به جای رطبش
شهد ریزی ز شهادت به لبش

وان نفس کش ببرد عرق حیات
تیغ ان اجل الله لآت

کنی از همت رحمت املش
ختم بر خیر کتاب اجلش

English translation

O You who, by Your grace, adorn the gathering of souls, The blade of Your love is the embellisher of the garden of the heart. The hand of Your bounty has planted the date palm since eternity past, And sheds fresh dates upon our heads until eternity without end. Though we are not clear-sighted because of the thorn of oppression, We are gatherers of fresh dates beneath Your palm tree. In Your shedding of fresh dates from the palm tree of generosity, If the thorn of oppression draws a sword, what sorrow is there? The pen of Jami is a branch from Your palm tree, Shedding fresh dates with bold audacity. From these honey-mingled fresh dates, it does not befit The feverish-tempered envious person to do anything but abstain. At that time when this pen slips from his hand, And this date-shedding branch is broken, He hopes that instead of its fresh dates, You will pour the honey of the testimony of faith upon his lips, And at that breath which cuts the vein of life With the sword of 'Indeed, the term of Allah is coming,' Through the aspiration of Your mercy, You fulfill his hope, And bring the book of his lifetime to a blessed conclusion.
