بخش ۱۲ - الحكایة ‌و التمثیل / Section 12 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

شد مگر معشوق طوسی ناتوان
در عیادت رفت پیشش یک جوان

فاتحه آغاز کرد آنجایگاه
تا دمد بادی بران مجنون راه

گفت اگر دادم بخواهی داد تو
چون بخوانی بر حق افکن داد تو

هیچ درخور نیست این درویش را
جمله او را بایدم نه خویش را

هرچه هست و بود خواهد بود نیز
هست اورا جمله زیبا و عزیز

نقد بود آنجا همه چیزی ولیک
بندگی و ذل میبایست نیک

لاجرم در قالب آدم دمید
بندگی رادر خداوندی کشید

شور در بازار عالم اوفکند
جملهٔ آفاق در هم اوفکند

صد جهان بد پر خداوندی بزور
از جهان بندگی برخاست شور

English translation

It happened that the Beloved of Tus became weak, A young man went to him for a sick-visit. He began to recite the Fatiha there, So that he might blow a breath upon that madman of the path. He (the mystic) said, 'If you want to give me my due, When you recite, cast your plea upon God. Nothing is fitting for this dervish; I need Him entirely, not myself. Whatever is, and was, and also will be, Is entirely beautiful and precious to Him. Everything was readily present there, yet, Servitude and humility were thoroughly needed. Consequently, He breathed into the mold of Adam, He drew servitude into Lordship. He cast a commotion into the market of the world, He threw all the horizons into disarray. A hundred worlds were full of Lordship by force, From the world of servitude, a tumult arose.'
