بخش ۲۱ / Section 21

Original content

شیخ ابو سعید ابوالخیر را - قدس سره - پرسیدند که تصوف چیست؟ گفت: آنچه در سر داری بنهی و آنچه در کف داری بدهی و از آنچه بر تو آید نجهی.
خواهی که به صوفیگری از خود برهی

باید که هوا و هوس از سر بنهی
وان چیز که داری به کف از کف بدهی

صد زخم بلا خوری و از جا نجهی

English translation

Sheikh Abu Sa'id Abu al-Khayr — may his secret be sanctified — was asked, 'What is Sufism?' He said: 'That you set aside what you hold in your head, and give away what you hold in your hand, and do not flee from whatever befalls you.'

If you wish through the Sufi path to be freed from yourself, You must set aside passion and desire from your head, And that thing which you hold in your hand, give it away from your hand, You endure a hundred wounds of affliction, yet do not stir from your place.
