متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شه چو عجز آن حکیمان را بدیدپابرهنه جانب مسجد دوید
When the king saw the helplessness of those physicians,
He ran barefoot toward the mosque.
رفت در مسجد سوی محراب شدسجده گاه از اشک شه پر آب شد
He entered the mosque and came to the mihrab;
The place of prostration was flooded with the king's tears.
چون به خویش آمد ز غرقاب فناخوش زبان بگشاد در مدح و دعا
When he came to himself from the whirlpool of fana,
He opened his tongue sweetly in praise and supplication:
کای کمینه بخششت ملک جهانمن چه گویم چون تو می دانی نهان
"O You, the least of Whose gifts is the kingdom of the world —
What shall I say, since You know what is hidden?
ای همیشه حاجت ما را پناهبار دیگر ما غلط کردیم راه
O You Who are always the refuge of our need,
Once again we have gone astray from the path.
لیک گفتی گرچه می دانم سرتزود هم پیدا کنش بر ظاهرت
Yet You have said: 'Though I know your secret,
Still make it manifest upon your outward form.'"
چون برآورد از میان جان خروشاندر آمد بحر بخشایش به جوش
When he raised a cry from the depths of his soul,
The sea of mercy came to a boil.
در میان گریه خوابش در ربوددید در خواب او که پیری رو نمود
In the midst of weeping, sleep snatched him away;
In his dream he saw an old man show his face.
گفت ای شه مژده، حاجاتت رواستگر غریبی آیدت فردا، ز ماست
He said: "O King, glad tidings — your needs shall be granted.
If a stranger comes to you tomorrow, he is from us.
چونکه آید او حکیمی حاذقستصادقش دان کو امین و صادقست
When he comes, he is a skilled physician —
Know him as true, for he is trustworthy and sincere.
در علاجش سحر مطلق را ببیندر مزاجش قدرت حق را ببین
In his treatment, behold the absolute sihr;
In his temperament, behold the power of Haqq."
چون رسید آن وعده گاه و روز شدآفتاب از شرق اخترسوز شد
When that appointed time arrived and day came,
The sun from the east became the star-burner.
بود اندر منظره شه منتظرتا ببیند آنچه بنمودند سر
The king was at the lookout, waiting,
To see what had been hinted at.
دید شخصی کاملی پر مایه ایآفتابی درمیان سایه ای
He saw a person — virtuous, full of worth,
A sun amid shadow.
می رسید از دور مانند هلالنیست بود و هست بر شکل خیال
He was approaching from afar like a crescent moon,
At once nonexistent and existent, in the form of khayal.
نیست وش باشد خیال اندر روانتو جهانی بر خیالی بین روان
Khayal is phantom-like within the soul —
See a whole world running upon a khayal.
بر خیالی صلحشان و جنگشانوز خیالی فخرشان و ننگشان
Their peace and their war are upon a khayal,
And their glory and their shame are from a khayal.
آن خیالاتی که دام اولیاستعکس مه رویان بستان خداست
Those khayalat that are the snare of the awliya
Are the reflection of the moon-faced ones of God's garden.
آن خیالی که شه اندر خواب دیددر رخ مهمان همی آمد پدید
The khayal the king had seen in sleep
Was now becoming manifest in the face of the guest.
شه به جای حاجبان فا پیش رفتپیش آن مهمان غیب خویش رفت
The king went forward himself in place of the chamberlains;
He went out to meet that guest of the ghayb.
هر دو بحری آشنا آموختههر دو جان بی دوختن بر دوخته
Both were seas that had learned the same swimming;
Both souls joined together, stitched without stitching.
گفت معشوقم تو بودستی نه آنلیک کار از کار خیزد در جهان
He said: "You were my beloved, not that one —
But in the world, one thing arises from another.
ای مرا تو مصطفی من چو عمراز برای خدمتت بندم کمر
O You who are Mustafa to me, I am as 'Umar —
For your service I gird my loins."
