ای که در دولت دین کم زنی
چند دم از نسبت آدم زنی

آدمی آنست که دینی در اوست
محو گمان کرده یقینی در اوست

گر بود این پیکر گل آدمی
زو در و دیوار ندارد کمی

بلکه فزون باشد ازو در نمود
مهره دیوار به سلک وجود

آدمیی پشت بر ایام کن
روی به معموره اسلام کن

پیش شریعت رو و اسلام سنج
می رسد ارکان چو حروفش به پنج

رکن نخستش که شهادت بود
راه خلاف آمد عادت بود

هست دو ره هر دو به هم متصل
گام زنان زین دو ره ارباب دل

آن یکی اقلیم الهی گشای
شد به خدایت ره وحدت نمای

وان دگرت گنج فتوت فشان
برده به دهلیز نبوت کشان

ور به نهایت نگری یک ره است
عاقبت هر دو از آن الله است

هست یکی ظرف به غایت شگرف
ناطقه اش ساخته از صوت و حرف

نیست بجز شهد سعادت در او
هر الف انگشت شهادت در او

دست درین شهد ز عادت بدار
چون الف انگشت شهادت برآر

بو که ز منشور سعادت نویس
یابی ازین شهد یک انگشت لیس

خامه به هر صفحه که بنگاردش
از مگس نقطه نگه داردش

یعنی ازین شهد که صافی فتاد
هرکه مگس طبع بود دور باد

لام الفش هست درین دیولاخ
گردن دیوان هوا را دو شاخ

بلکه چو پرگاروش آمد پدید
خط عدم گرد دو عالم کشید

آلت قطع آمده مقراض وار
تا ببری زآنچه نیاید به کار

چون ز دو انگشت ویی تیز دست
قید تعلق ببر از هرچه هست

چرخ که آمد به تو مقراض ده
اطلس او در دم مقراض نه

تا برد از همت والای تو
خلعت توحید به بالای تو

شاهد هر جان که بود دلفریب
یافته زین خلعت زیباست زیب

بیشه توحید درین دامگاه
شیردلان را بود آرامگاه

شیر دلی روی در آن بیشه کن
همدمی شیردلان پیشه کن

با همه هم بیشه و هم پیشه باش
ی کدل و یک روی و یک اندیشه باش

روی در آن کن که تو را روی داد
صد در امید به رویت گشاد

چشم بر آن نه که ز روز نخست
روشنی چشم جهان بین توست

دست در آن زن که ازو شد به پای
قامت قدرت به فلک فرق سای

صانع بی چون که تو را آفرید
با تو بگویم که چرا آفرید

تا بشناسیش به نعت یکی
نی یکیی از کمی و اندکی

بل یکیی ز اندک و بسیار بیش
صد قدم از اندک و بسیار پیش

چون به شناسایی او پی بری
پیش نهی پای پرستشگری

روی به محراب عبادت کنی
کسب سبب های سعادت کنی

هرچه کند بنده برون زین دو کار
آخر ازآن کار شود شرمسار

رخت به سر حد ندامت برد
داغ ندامت به قیامت برد

شعله زند از دل محنت قرین
آتش آنش ابدالآبدین

English translation

O you who fall short in the dominion of religion, How long will you boast of your descent from Adam? A human is one who possesses religion within, Who has erased doubt and holds certainty within. If this clay form were a human, The door and the wall would not fall short of it. Indeed, it would surpass it in appearance— The stone of the wall in the thread of existence. If you are human, turn your back on the world, And face the flourishing abode of Islam. Go before the Sharia and measure Islam; Its pillars, like its letters, amount to five. Its first pillar, which is the testimony, Is a path that runs contrary to habit. These are two paths, both connected to each other, Traversed by the masters of the heart. One of them opens the divine realm, Becoming the path showing unity to your Lord. And the other scatters the treasure of chivalry, Drawing you into the threshold of prophethood. And if you look at the end, it is but one path; In the end, both belong to Allah. It is an exceedingly magnificent vessel, Its power of speech fashioned from sound and letter. There is nothing within it but the honey of felicity, Every Alif in it is like a raised finger of testimony. Withdraw your hand from this honey out of habit, And like the Alif, raise the finger of testimony. Perchance from the writer of the decree of felicity, You may get to lick a finger's worth of this honey. Whatever page the pen writes it upon, It guards it from the fly of the diacritical dot. Meaning, from this honey which has turned out pure, May anyone of a fly-like nature be far removed. Its 'La' is in this demon-infested wasteland, A two-pronged fork for the necks of the demons of passion. Indeed, it appeared like a compass, Drawing a line of non-existence around both worlds. It has come as a cutting tool, like scissors, So that you may cut away whatever is of no use. Since you are quick-handed with its two fingers, Sever the bond of attachment from all that exists. When the celestial sphere comes to hand you the scissors, Place its satin fabric before the blades. So that, through your high aspiration, it may cut The robe of monotheism to fit your stature. The beloved of every soul who is alluring, Has found adornment from this beautiful robe. The forest of monotheism in this snare of a world Is the sanctuary of the lion-hearted. If you are lion-hearted, turn your face to that forest; Make companionship with the lion-hearted your practice. Be of the same forest and the same practice with them all; Be of one heart, one face, and one mind. Turn your face to the One who gave you a face, And opened a hundred doors of hope to you. Fix your eye on the One who from the first day Has been the light of your world-seeing eye. Cling to the One by whom was established Your stature of power, brushing the heavens with its crown. The Maker without peer who created you— Let me tell you why He created you: So that you may recognize Him by the attribute of oneness— Not a oneness of smallness or fewness, But a oneness far greater than few or many, A hundred steps ahead of few and many. When you find the path to His recognition, You will step forward in worship. You will turn your face to the prayer niche of worship, And acquire the means of felicity. Whatever a servant does outside of these two deeds, Will ultimately bring him shame. He will carry his baggage to the border of regret, And bear the brand of regret to the Resurrection. There will flame from his grief-stricken heart The fire of that regret, forever and ever.
