Original content

در احد میر حیدر کرار
یافت زخمی قوی در آن پیکار

ماند پیکان تیر در پایش
اقتضا کرد آن زمان رایش

که برون آرد از قدم پیکان
که همان بود مرورا درمان

زود مرد جرایحی چو بدید
گفت باید به تیغ باز برید

تا که پیکان مگر پدید آید
بستهٔ زخم را کلید آید

هیچ طاقت نداشت بادم گاز
گفت بگذار تا بوقت نماز

چون شد اندر نماز حجامش
ببرید آن لطیف اندامش

جمله پیکان ازو برون آورد
و او شده بی خبر ز ناله و درد

چون برون آمد از نماز علی
آن مر او را خدای خوانده ولی

گفت کمتر شد آن الم چونست
وز چه جای نماز پر خونست

گفت با او جمال عصر حسین
آن بر اولاد مصطفی شده زین

گفت چون در نماز رفتی تو
بر ایزد فراز رفتی تو

کرد پیکان برون ز تو حجام
باز نا داه از نماز سلام

گفت حیدر به خالق الاکبر
که مرا زین الم نبود خبر

ای شده در نماز بس معروف
به عبادت بر کسان موصوف

این چنین کن نماز و شرح بدان
ورنه برخیز و خیره ریش ملان

چون تو با صدق در نماز آیی
با همه کام خویش باز آیی

ور تو بی صدق صد سلام کنی
نیستی پخته کار خام کنی

یک سلامت دو صد سلام ارزد
سجدهٔ صدق صد قیام ارزد

کان نمازی که عادتی باشد
خاک باشد که باد برپاشد

اندرین ره نماز روحانی
آن به آید که خشک جنبانی

جان گدازد نماز بار خدای
خشک جنبان بود همیشه گدای

بود از روی جهل و نااهلی
چون بجوید طریق بوجهلی

گرت باید که مرد باشی مرد
خشک بگذار و گرد دریا گرد

گرت نبود ز بحر در خوشاب
هم تو دانی که در نمانی از آب

چنگ در راه حق زن ای سرهنگ
گرت نبود مراد نبود ننگ

مرد کز آب و خاک دارد عار
به هوا بر نشیند آتش وار

کله آسمان منه بر سر
تا بیابی ز جبرئیل افسر

تاج گردد ترا کلاه ملک
باشگونه شود کلاه فلک

تا بدانی حق از هوا و هوس
کین همه هیچ نیست زی تو و بس

عدمت چون وجود یکسانست
هرچه تو خواستی همه آنست

English translation

In Uhud, the Commander, Haydar the Attacker, Received a powerful wound in that battle. The arrow point remained in his foot; His judgment at that time required That he bring the arrow point out from his foot, Which was the only cure for him. As soon as the surgeon saw it, He said it must be cut open with a blade So that perhaps the arrow point would appear, To become the key to the locked wound. He had no endurance for the forceps; He said, 'Leave it until the time of prayer.' When he went into prayer, his surgeon Cut his delicate body. He brought the entire arrow point out from him, And he became unaware of the moaning and pain. When Ali came out of prayer, He whom God has called 'Vali' (Saint), He said, 'That pain has lessened, how is it? And from what place is the prayer-ground full of blood?' The beauty of the age, Hussein, said to him, He who has become the adornment for the children of Mustafa: He said, 'When you went into prayer, You went up before the Lord. The surgeon brought the arrow point out from you, Before the salutation of the prayer was given.' Haydar said to the Greatest Creator, 'That I had no news of this pain.' O you who have become so well-known in prayer, Characterized by worship among the people, Perform the prayer like this and know its explanation, Otherwise, stand up and do not vainly stroke your beard. When you come into prayer with sincerity, You will return with all your desires attained. And if you perform a hundred salutations without sincerity, You are not ripe, you perform raw work. One greeting is worth two hundred salutations; A prostration of sincerity is worth a hundred standings. For that prayer which is merely a habit Is dust that the wind has scattered. In this path, a spiritual prayer Is better than if you move your body drily. The prayer of the Lord melts the soul; He who moves drily is always a beggar. It was out of ignorance and unworthiness, When he seeks the way of Abu Jahl. If you wish to be a man, a true man, Leave the dryness and circle the sea. If you do not have a lustrous pearl from the sea, At least you know that you are not left out of the water. Cling to the path of Truth, O captain; If you do not reach your desire, it is no shame. The man who feels shame for water and earth Will sit upon the air like fire. Do not place the cap of the sky on your head, Until you receive the crown from Gabriel. Let the king's hat become a crown for you; Let the hat of the heavens be overturned. So that you may know Truth from whim and desire, That all this is nothing to you and that is all. When your non-existence is equal to existence, Whatever you wanted, all is that.
