Original content

پیش که از ابر صفا نم نبود
رسته گل صفوت آدم نبود

بود جهان یک به یک آیینه ها
بلکه سراسر همه گنجینه ها

بر سر هر گنج طلسم دگر
نقد در او گوهر اسم دگر

لیک نشانی ز مسمی نداشت
مظهر جمعیت اسما نداشت

شاه ازل خواست چنان مظهری
چید ز دریای قدم گوهری

ساخت دلش مخزن اسرار خویش
کرد رخش مطلع انوار خویش

هر چه عیان داشت بر او خرج کرد
هر چه نهان خواست در او درج کرد

شد ز ره صورت و معنی به هم
مجمع بحرین حدوث و قدم

علم الاسما رقم دفترش
خمر طینه صدف گوهرش

گونه گندم به ادیمش سپرد
نامش از آن روی جز آدم نبرد

سایه بر اوج فلک انداختش
سجده گه فوج ملک ساختش

جز سر فرقت زدگان هر که بود
چهره به خاک ره آن پاک بود

بزم کرامت ز رخش بر فروخت
هر که رخش دید بر آن دیده دوخت

چون به رخش چشم همه تیز دید
نیل «عصی آدم » بر وی کشید

باز به حالش پی دفع گزند
تابشی از «تاب علیه » اوفکند

تیرگی معصیتش دور شد
ظلمت نیلش علم نور شد

سیر وجودش به لطافت رسید
دور کمالش به خلافت کشید

کشور اسماء الهی گرفت
مملکتی نامتناهی گرفت

پرتو او بر زن و بر مرد تافت
هر که ازو هر چه طلب کرد یافت

آینه ای شد که بر او چشم کس
چون نظر انداخت خدا دید و بس

بلکه نبود از دل ظلمت زدای
شاهد و مشهود در او جز خدای

ای به ره دور و درشت آمده
وز کمرش پشت به پشت آمده

پشت وفا بر گهر او مکن
دست جفا در کمر او مکن

حیف بود صورت آدم تو را
معنی شیطان شده همدم تو را

سهل بود جلد کتاب کریم
بسته بر افسانه دیو رجیم

دلق صفا در بر و زیر بغل
کرده نهان دفتر زرق و حیل

گرگ دلی صورت یوسف که چه
صورت اگر نیست تأسف که چه

اصل که معنی است چو بگذاشتی
دل به سوی فرع چرا داشتی

قدر شناس گهر خویش باش
صیرفی سیم و زر خویش باش

گر زر خالص شده ای خوش تو را
ور نه چه چاره ست ز آتش تو را

آتشی از سوز و طلب برفروز
هر غش و غلی که بیابی بسوز

جوهر دل را ز عرض پاک کن
چشم خرد را ز غرض پاک کن

دامن جان درکش از آلودگی
نیست در آلودگی آسودگی

بند ز تن بگسل و آزاده شو
نقش دویی دور کن و ساده شو

زاد مریدان ره آزادگیست
شیوه آیینه دلان سادگیست

ساده دلی باش پسندیده ذات
پاک ز رنگ صور کائنات

تا چو ازین مرحله بیرون شوی
همنفس شاهد موزون شوی

پیش نگاری شوی آیینه نه
کش نبود هیچ ز آیینه به

English translation

Before any moisture fell from the cloud of purity, And the rose of Adam's purity had not yet grown, The world was, one by one, a series of mirrors, Or rather, entirely a collection of treasuries. Over each treasure stood a different talisman, The cash within it was the jewel of a different Name. Yet it bore no sign of the Named One, Possessing no locus for the integration of all Names. The King of Eternity desired such a manifestation; He selected a pearl from the ocean of Pre-eternity. He made Adam's heart the treasury of His secrets, And made his face the rising-place of His lights. Whatever He held manifest, He bestowed upon him; Whatever He wished hidden, He inscribed within him. Through both outward form and inner meaning together, He became the junction of the two seas of temporality and eternity. The 'Knowledge of the Names' was the writing in his ledger; The fermentation of his clay was the shell of his pearl. He entrusted a wheat-like hue to his skin; For that reason, He called him by no name other than Adam. He cast his shadow upon the highest heaven, And made him the object of prostration for the hosts of angels. Except for the heads of those stricken by separation, Every face was laid in the dust of that pure one's path. The banquet of nobility was illuminated by his face; Whoever saw his face fixed their eyes upon it. When He saw everyone's eyes gazing sharply at his face, He drew the indigo mark of 'Adam disobeyed' upon him. Then, to ward off harm from his state, He cast a ray of 'He relented towards him' upon him. The darkness of his disobedience was removed; The blackness of his indigo mark became a banner of light. The journey of his existence attained subtlety; The cycle of his perfection led him to the Vicegerency. He took possession of the realm of divine Names, And gained an infinite kingdom. His radiance shone upon both man and woman; Whoever sought anything from him obtained it. He became a mirror such that when anyone's eye Looked upon it, they saw God and nothing else. Indeed, within that darkness-dispelling heart, There was no witness or witnessed except God. O you who have come onto this long and rugged road, And have descended from his loins generation after generation! Do not turn your back of loyalty upon his jewel; Do not lay the hand of cruelty upon his waist. It is a pity for you to have the form of Adam, While the inner meaning of Satan has become your companion. It is easy for the cover of the Holy Book To be wrapped around the fables of the accursed demon. With the cloak of purity on your body and under your arm, You have concealed the book of hypocrisy and deceit. You have a wolfish heart in the form of Joseph—what for? If there is no true reality behind the form, why the regret? Since you have abandoned the origin, which is the meaning, Why have you set your heart upon the branch? Be appreciative of your own jewel; Be the assayer of your own silver and gold. If you have become pure gold, happy are you! Otherwise, what remedy is there for you but the fire? Kindle a fire of longing and seeking, And burn away any dross and deceit you find. Purify the substance of the heart from accidental qualities; Cleanse the eye of intellect from self-interest. Draw back the skirt of your soul from pollution, For there is no peace in impurity. Break the bonds of the body and become free; Cast away the image of duality and become single-hearted. The provision for disciples is the path of freedom, And the way of those with mirror-like hearts is simplicity. Be a simple-hearted one, praiseworthy in essence, Pure from the color of the forms of the universe, So that when you step out of this stage, You may become the companion of the harmonious Beloved. You will stand before a Beauty, acting as a mirror, For nothing is better for the Beauty than a mirror.
