بخش ۱۰ - التمثیل بقصّة آدم علیه‌السلام و سبب عشقه / Section 10 - The Allegory of the Story of Adam, Peace be Upon Him, and the Reason for His Love

Original content

دل خریدار نیست جز غم را
آن بنشنیده ای که آدم را

عز علمش سوی جنان آورد
دل عشقش به خاکدان آورد

چون ره علم رفت سلطان شد
چون ره دل گرفت عریان شد

چون همه لطفها بدید از حق
عشق جانش ندا شنید از حق

ای که ذاتت چو عقل فرزانه ست
عشق مگذار کو هم از خانه ست

زیرکی دیو و عاشقی آدم
این بمان تا بدان رسی دردم

عشق در پیش گیر و دل بگذار
که ز دل خیره بر نیاید کار

مرد را عشق تاج سر باشد
عشق بهتر ز هر هنر باشد

عاشقی بستهٔ خرد نبود
علت عشق نیک و بد نبود

آدم از عشق اهبطوا منها
آمد اندر جهان جان تنها

عقل عزم احاطت وی کرد
غیرت عشق پای او پی کرد

برگزیده دو مرغ بهر دو کار
عقل طوطی و عشق بوتیمار

قدم عقل نقد حالی جوی
شعلهٔ عشق لاابالی گوی

باشهٔ عقل صعوه گیر بود
کرکس عشق بازگیر بود

در ره عشق ما همه طفلیم
عاشقان صافیند و ما ثفلیم

بالغ عقلها بسی یابی
بالغ عشق کم کسی یابی

در جهانی که عشق گوید راز
عقل باشد در آن جهان غماز

تا تو به مانده ای و عقل توباز
تو چو کبکی و عشق همچون باز

حق پژوهان که راه دل سپرند
عقل را لاشهٔ دبر شمرند

محدث از خلقت قدم که بود
روز کور از سپیده دم که بود

عشق را جان بلعجب داند
زانکه تفسیر شهد لب داند

صورت عشق پوست باشد پوست
عشق بی عین و شین و قاف نکوست

در ره عاشقی سلامت نیست
اضطرابست و استقامت نیست

صفت عاشقان ز من بشنو
ور نداری مرا برو به دو جو

English translation

The heart is a buyer of nothing but sorrow; Have you not heard that Adam The glory of his knowledge brought him to Paradise, The heart of his love brought him to the dustbin (earth). When he walked the path of knowledge, he became a king, When he took the path of the heart, he became naked. When he saw all the graces from the Truth (God), The love of his soul heard a call from the Truth: 'O you whose essence is wise like the intellect, Do not abandon love, for it is also of the house. Cleverness is the devil, and being a lover is Adam; Leave this behind so that you may reach that instantly.' Take up love and leave the heart, For the heart cannot accomplish anything in vain. For a man, love is the crown on his head, Love is better than any skill. Being a lover is not tied to the intellect, The cause of love is not good or bad. Adam, out of love, 'Get you down from it', Came into the world of the soul alone. The intellect resolved to encompass him, The jealousy of love hamstrung it. Chosen are two birds for two tasks: Intellect is a parrot and love is a heron. The foot of intellect seeks the cash of the present state, The flame of love speaks carelessly. The sparrowhawk of intellect catches small birds, The vulture of love catches falcons. On the path of love, we are all children, Lovers are pure and we are the dregs. You will find many mature in intellect, You will find few mature in love. In a world where love speaks secrets, Intellect is a tattletale in that world. As long as you remain and your intellect is open, You are like a partridge and love is like a falcon. Truth-seekers who tread the path of the heart, Consider the intellect a worthless carcass. Who is newly created compared to the creation of eternity? Who is day-blind compared to the dawn? The soul knows love to be wondrous, Because it knows the interpretation of the honeyed lip. The form of love is but skin, skin, Love without 'ayn, shin, and qaf is good. On the path of being a lover, there is no safety, There is agitation and no constancy. Hear the description of lovers from me, And if you do not accept me, go for two barleycorns.
