بخش ۴۰ - التمثیل لابن الغافل والاب العاقل / Section 40 - The Allegory of the Heedless Son and the Wise Father

Original content

به پسر شیخ گوکانی گفت
که ترا بهر کارهای نهفت

اندرین کوچه خانه ای باید
گر کلیدان به چپ بود شاید

ساز پیرایه در ره تجرید
هم سر از شرع و هم سر از توحید

اندرین منزل عنا و ضرر
چون مسافر درآی و زود گذر

بر در بوستان الاالله
برکش و نیست کن قبا و کلاه

نیست شود تا همو دهد به صواب
لمن الملک را سؤال و جواب

English translation

He said to the son of the Sheikh of Gokan: That for your hidden affairs, You need a house in this alley; If the keyhole is on the left, it is fitting. Prepare your adornment on the path of detachment, Deriving from both the divine law and divine unity. In this abode of toil and harm, Enter like a traveler and pass quickly. At the gate of the garden of 'Except God', Take off and annihilate your robe and cap. Become non-existent so that He may rightly grant The question and answer to 'Whose is the kingdom?'
