متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن شنیدی که حامد لفافدر حریم حرم چو کرد طواف
Did you hear that Hamid Laffaf
When he circumambulated the sanctuary of the Haram
ناگهی باز خورد بر وی پیرآنکه در عصر خود نداشت نظیر
Suddenly he came across an old man
One who had no equal in his time.
گفت شیخا بگوی تا چونیتا به رنج زمانه مرهونی
He said, 'O Sheikh, tell me how you are;
Are you bound to the suffering of the age?'
گفت حالم سلامت و خیرستلفظ من سال و ماه لاضیرست
He said, 'My state is safety and goodness;
My words, year and month, are "there is no harm".'
گفت ویحک سخن خطا گفتیهمچو نادان به خود برآشفتی
He said, 'Woe to you, you spoke in error;
Like an ignorant man, you have become conceited within yourself.
آدمی خیر آنگهی داردکه صراط دقیق بگذارد
A human only possesses goodness
When he crosses the narrow bridge (Sirat).
تو هنوز از صراط نگذشتیخیر چون باشد ای دد دشتی
You have not yet crossed the bridge;
How can it be "good", O beast of the field?
بعد از آن در بهشت چون رفتیاز سلامت تو بهره بگرفتی
After that, when you enter Paradise,
You will have partaken of safety.
ناشده در بهشت و دار سلامچون سلامت بود نیافته کام
Not having entered Paradise and the Abode of Peace,
How can there be safety when you haven't achieved your desire?
چون از این هر دو فارغ آیی توآنگهی خیر را بشایی تو
When you are freed from both of these [trials],
Only then are you worthy of "goodness".
ایمن از هر نهاد زشت شویبه سلامت چو در بهشت شوی
You will be safe from every ugly disposition
When you enter Paradise in safety.
مر ترا هست هر دوان در پیخویش را خیر گفته عز علی
Both of these [the bridge and the judgment] are pursuing you,
Yet you called yourself "good", how presumptuous!
از حقیقت چنان به دل دوریکه نه ای اوستاد مزدوری
You are so far in heart from the truth
That you are not a master, but a mere laborer.
یک زمان از نهاد خود برخیزدر رکاب محمدی آویز
For a moment, rise from your own nature,
And cling to the stirrup of Muhammad.
آنچه گفته ست شرع آمده گیروآنچه مقدور کائن آن شده گیر
Take whatever the religious law has said as having arrived,
And take whatever is predestined as having already happened.
یک زمان شرع را متابع شوپس مرفه به دشت در بغنو
For a moment, become a follower of the law;
Then, comfortably rest in the field.'
