بخش ۷۶ - عقد بیست و سیم در حیا که محافظت ظاهر و باطن است از مخالفت احکام الهی به سبب مراقبه نظر حق سبحانه و تعالی / Section 76 - The Twenty-Third Knot on Modesty (Haya), Which Is the Protection of the Outward and the Inward from Opposing Divine Commandments by Virtue of Observing the Watchfulness of the Truth, Glorified and Exalted Be He

ای برافکنده ز رخ ستر حیا
هیچ ازین کار حیا نیست تو را

خیره چشمی چه کنی اختروار
همچو خورشید حیایی پیش آر

دل تو مزرعه تخم وفاست
نم آن مزرعه باران حیاست

نشود سبزه زبستان نو خیز
ناشده ابر بر آن باران ریز

خوی که بر رخ ز حیا دارد گل
زان بسی نشو و نما دارد گل

غنچه کز شرم به رخ بسته نقاب
زان نقاب است زر و گوهر یاب

لعل و زر باشد ازان حاصل او
منبسط گشته ز شادی دل او

لاله کز شرم به دل دارد داغ
سرخرو گشته از آنست به باغ

بنگر آن سوسن شرمنده که چون
از زبان نامده حرفیش برون

لاجرم در صف سوری و سمن
شد به آزادی مشهور چمن

خیره چشم است به بستان نرگس
که دهد جام به مستان نرگس

زان سبب دیده اش از نور تهی
مانده بی خاصیت نوردهی

خوی که از شرم نشیند به جبین
تازه رو باشد ازو شاهد دین

آنکه بر صخره صما شب تار
که بود در تگ چه در بن غار

از نفوذ بصر نور فشان
بیند از رهروی مور نشان

ناظر حال تو باشد شب و روز
تو هم از ناظریش دیده فروز

ناظر ناظری او می باش
حاضر حاضری او می باش

بو که شرمندگیت آید پیش
که بتابی ز گنه خاطر خویش

در مقامی که کنی قصد گناه
گر کند کودکی از دور نگاه

شرم داری ز گنه در گذری
پرده عصمت خود را ندری

شرم بادت که خداوند جهان
که بود واقف اسرار نهان

بر تو باشد نظرش بیگه و گاه
تو کنی در نظرش قصد گناه

English translation

O you who have cast off the veil of modesty from your face, Do you have no shame at all in this deed? Why do you stare audaciously like a star? Bring forth modesty, just like the sun. Your heart is a field for the seed of fidelity; The moisture of that field is the rain of modesty. No green grass grows from a newly emerged garden, Unless the cloud pours rain upon it. The dew that the rose has on its face out of modesty, From that, the rose gains much growth and development. The bud that has fastened a veil over its face from bashfulness, Through that veil, it finds gold and jewels. Ruby and gold are its harvest from that, And its heart is expanded with joy. The tulip, which bears a scar of bashfulness in its heart, Is flushed red and honored in the garden because of it. Look at that bashful lily, how, Before a single word has come from its tongue, Consequently, in the ranks of the red rose and the jasmine, It became famous in the meadow for its freedom. Staring audaciously in the garden is the narcissus, Which offers the goblet to the drunkards. For that reason, its eye is empty of light, Remaining devoid of the capacity to give light. The sweat of bashfulness that settles on the forehead, Makes the witness of faith fresh-faced. He who, on a solid rock on a dark night, Whether deep in a well or at the bottom of a cave, With the penetration of His light-shedding vision, Sees the trace of a walking ant, He is the observer of your state day and night; You, too, enlighten your eye with His watchfulness. Be the observer of His watchfulness, Be present before His presence. Perhaps a sense of shame will come upon you, So that you turn your heart away from sin. In a place where you intend to commit a sin, If a child looks on from afar, You would feel ashamed, abstain from the sin, And not tear the veil of your own chastity. Be ashamed, then, that the Lord of the world, Who is aware of hidden secrets, Has His gaze upon you at all times, Yet you intend to commit a sin before His very eyes!
