بخش ۸ - الحکایه و التمثیل / Section 8 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

چنین گفته ست شیخ مهنه یک روز
که یک تن بین جهان و دیده بردوز

زمین پر بایزیدست و آسمان هم
ولی او گم شده اندر میان هم

چه می گویم کجا افتادم اینجا
که جان در موج آتش دادم اینجا

قدم تا کی زنم در ره به هر سوی
چو از خود می نیابم یک سر موی

بسی رفتم درین راه خطرناک
ندیدم آدمی را جز کفی خاک

کفی خاکست و بادی در میانش
تن او چون طلسم و گنج جانش

English translation

Thus said the Sheikh of Mihna one day, 'See one person in the world and sew your eyes shut. The earth is full of Bayazid, and the sky as well, But he is lost in their midst.' What am I saying? Where have I fallen here? For I have given my soul to the waves of fire here. How long shall I step on the path in every direction? When I cannot find even a hair's tip of myself. I walked much on this perilous path, I saw no human but a handful of dust. A handful of dust it is, with wind in its midst, His body is like a talisman, and his soul its treasure.
