بخش ۱۰ / Section 10

Original content

فضیل عیاض - رضی الله عنه - گوید که من حق را سبحانه به دوستی پرستم که نشکیبم که نپرستم بعضی ازین طایفه را پرسیدند که سفله کیست؟ گفت: آن که حق را بر بیم و امید پرستد پس گفتند تو چون پرستی؟ گفت: به مهر و دوستی که مهر و دوستی وی مرا بر خدمت و طاعت دارد.
جانا ز در تو دور نتوانم بود

قانع به بهشت و حور نتوانم بود
سر بر در تو به حکم عشقم نه به مزد

زین در چه کنم صبور نتوانم بود
کی شود سوز قتیلت کشته زیر تیره خاک

زانکه این آتش ز جان روشن او خاسته ست
چون تواند عاشق از طوق وفایت سر کشید

قمری آسا طوق او از گردن او خاسته ست

English translation

Fozeyl Ayaz — may God be pleased with him — says: I worship the Truth, glorified be He, out of love, for I cannot bear not to worship. One of this group was asked: Who is base? He said: The one who worships the Truth out of fear and hope. Then they said: How, then, do you worship? He said: With affection and love, for His affection and love holds me to service and obedience.

O beloved, I cannot bear to be far from Your door, I cannot be content with paradise and its houris. My head is at Your door by the decree of love, not for wages, What can I do—I cannot be patient away from this door.

When would the burning of the one You slew be quenched beneath the dark earth, Since this fire has risen from his own radiant soul.

How can the lover draw his head out from the collar of Your fidelity, When, like the ring-dove, his collar has grown from his very neck.
