متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

فاطمه خاتون جنت ناگهیپیش سید رفت در خلوتگهی
Fatima, the Lady of Paradise, suddenly
Went to the Master in a private place
گفت کرد از آس دستم آبلهیک کنیزک از تو میخواهم صله
She said, 'The hand-mill has blistered my hands,
I want a handmaiden from you as a gift,
تا مرا از آس رنجی کم رسدتا کیم از آس چندین غم رسد
So that I may suffer less from the mill,
How long must I endure such grief from the mill?
آس گردونم چو یک ارزن بودآس کردن خود چه کار من بود
The mill of the heavens is like a single millet seed to me,
Grinding at the mill, what kind of work is this for me?'
وی عجب در پیش حیدر روزگاربود آن ساعت غنیمت بیشمار
And strangely, before Haydar (Ali) at that time
There were spoils of war beyond measure.
دست بگشاد و ببخشید آن همههیچ نگذاشت از برای فاطمه
He opened his hand and gave it all away,
He left nothing for Fatima.
یک دعاش آموخت زیبا و عزیزگفت این بهتر ترازان جمله چیز
He taught her a beautiful and precious prayer,
Saying, 'This is better for you than all those things.
چون نماند از انبیا میراث بازکار چندینی مکن برخود دراز
Since no inheritance remains from the prophets,
Do not prolong this matter so much for yourself.'
هان چگوئی ظلم بود این یا نبودبود این شفقت همه دین یا نبود
Look, what do you say? Was this injustice or not?
Was this compassion all religion or not?
آنکه او از فقر فخر آمد عزیزکی گذارد هیچ کس را هیچ چیز
He who took pride in poverty and was dear,
When would he leave anything for anyone?
هست دنیا دشمن حق بی مجازدشمن حق کی گذارد دوست باز
The world is the enemy of the Truth without metaphor,
When does the enemy of Truth leave a friend be?
گر سر دین داری ای بی پا و سرراه دین این نیست زین ره در گذر
If you seek religion, O headless and footless one,
The path of religion is not this; pass by this path.
دین تو از بهر خلاص خویش داردر دو عالم درد خاص خویش دار
Keep your religion for the sake of your own salvation,
Have your own special pain in both worlds.
بی شک این نادادن اینجا دین بوددر فدک صدیق را هم این بود
Undoubtedly, this not giving here was religion,
In the matter of Fadak, this was also the case for Siddiq (Abu Bakr).
درد حق گر دامن جان گیردتاین تعصب کی گریبان گیردت
If the pain of Truth grabs the skirt of your soul,
When will this prejudice grab your collar?
انس حضرت جانفزایت بس بودتا که تو هستی خدایت بس بود
Intimacy with the life-giving Divine Presence is enough for you,
As long as you exist, your God is enough for you.
