سالک دلدادهٔ بیدل دلیر
پیش جن آمد ز جان خویش سیر

گفت ای پوشیده از غیرت جمال
خیمهٔ خاص تو از خدر خیال

تو چو جان از انس پنهان آمدی
نه غلط کردم تو خود جان آمدی

مصطفی را لیلةالجن دیدهٔ
قصهٔ ثقلین ازو پرسیدهٔ

انس جان انس و جان دانستهٔ
در نهان سرجهان دانستهٔ

از لطافت نامدی در غور جسم
جان رود در جسم و جان داری تو اسم

پیش از آدم بعالم بودهٔ
تا بعهد مصطفی هم بودهٔ

سورتی و سورتی قرآن تراست
هر زفانی در دهن گردان تراست

هر زفانی مختلف کان در جهانست
هم بدانی هم بدان حکمت روانست

گر هنر بخشند وگر عیبت دهند
بازگوئی آنچه از غیبت دهند

قبهٔ ملک سلیمان دیدهٔ
حل وعقد درد ودرمان دیدهٔ

حصهٔ ثقلین تکلیف آمدست
گاه دوزخ گاه تشریف آمدست

در دو عالم کار ایشان را فتاد
کانچه افتاد انس را جان رافتاد

آدمی را چون توانی اوفکند
هم توانی نیز ازو برداشت بند

بستهٔ بند خودم بندم گشای
سوی سر حق دری چندم گشای

پیش تو بر بوی آن زین آمدم
راستی خواهی بجان زین آمدم

جن چو بشنود این سخن جانش نماند
یک پری گوئی مسلمانش نماند

گفت آخر من پری جفت آمده
ره بمردم جسته در گفت آمده

گر سخن گویم زفان او بود
هرچه گویم حال جان او بود

گرچه عمری و جهانی دیده ام
قوت و قوت ز استخوانی دیده ام

هر زمان در خط و در خوابم کنند
وز فسون درشیشهٔ آبم کنند

آتش من چون بود آب شما
من نیارم لحظهٔ تاب شما

لاجرم بی صبر و بی آرام من
زود سر بر خط نهم ناکام من

گه بود کز نور شرع و نور غیب
گاه گویم از هنر گاهی ز عیب

لیکن این رازی که میجوئی تو باز
هرگز از غیبم نبود این شیوه راز

روزگار خویش و من چندی بری
درگذر چون نیست این کار پری

سالک آمد پیش پیر کار ساز
آنچه پیش آمد ز جنش گفت باز

پیر گفتش تا که گشتم رهنمون
فعل مس الجن میبینم جنون

هرکرا بوی جنون آمد پدید
همچو گوئی سرنگون آمد پدید

هرکه او شوریده چون دریا بود
هرچه گوید از سر سودا بود

چون بگستاخی رود ز ایشان سخن
مرد چون دیوانه باشد رد مکن

English translation

The brave, enamored, heart-lost seeker Came before the Jinn, weary of his own life He said, 'O you whose beauty is veiled by jealousy, Your special tent is made from the veil of imagination. You, like the soul, are hidden from humanity, No, I am mistaken, you are the soul itself. You saw Mustafa on the Night of the Jinn, You asked him the story of the Two Weighty Things. You have known the intimacy of the soul, of human and jinn, In secret, you have known the mystery of the world. Out of subtlety, you did not enter the depths of the body, The soul enters the body, and you hold the name of the soul. You were in the world before Adam, You have also existed until the era of Mustafa. You have a form, and a Surah of the Quran is yours, Every tongue turns in your mouth. Every diverse language that exists in the world, You know it, and wisdom flows through it. Whether they grant you virtue or ascribe faults to you, You recount what they give you from the unseen. You have seen the dome of Solomon's kingdom, You have seen the binding and loosening of pain and cure. The portion for the Two Weighty Things is religious obligation, Sometimes it brings Hell, sometimes it brings honor. In both worlds, their affairs fell to them, For whatever befell humans also befell the jinn. Since you can cast down a human being, You can also lift the bonds from him. I am bound in my own bonds, untie my bonds, Open a few doors for me toward the secret of the Truth. I came before you on the scent of this, If you want the truth, I came for this with all my soul.' When the Jinn heard this speech, its soul nearly departed, You would say not a single Muslim fairy remained within it. It said, 'After all, I am a fairy paired with others, Seeking a way to people, I have entered into speech. If I speak, it is his tongue, Whatever I say is the state of his soul. Although I have seen a long life and a whole world, I have found my sustenance and strength from a bone. At any time, they can bind me in a circle and put me to sleep, And with enchantments, they can put me in a glass of water. Since my fire is like your water, I cannot endure a moment of your presence. Necessarily, I am without patience and without rest, Quickly, I yield and place my head on the line, unsuccessful. Sometimes it is that from the light of the religious law and the light of the unseen, I sometimes speak of virtue and sometimes of fault. But this secret that you are seeking now, Never from the unseen was such a secret given to me. You are wasting a bit of your time and mine, Pass on, for this is not the work of a fairy.' The seeker came before the capable spiritual master, He recounted what had happened to him with the Jinn. The master told him, 'As long as I have been a guide, I see the act of the touch of the Jinn as madness. Whoever exhibits the scent of madness, Appears overturned like a ball. Whoever is turbulent like the sea, Whatever he says is from a state of melancholy. When speech flows from them with audacity, Since the man is mad, do not reject it.'
