(۱۳) مناجات آن بزرگ با حق تعالی / (13) The Supplication of That Great One to the Exalted Truth

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

سحرگاهی بزرگی در مناجاتزبان بگشاد وگفت ای قایم الذات
One dawn, a great man in supplication
Opened his tongue and said, "O Self-Subsistent Essence!
من از تو راضیم هم روز و هم شبتو از من نیز راضی باش یا رب
I am satisfied with You both day and night;
You, too, be satisfied with me, O Lord!"
چنین گفت او که آوازی شنیدمکه در دعوی ترا کذاب دیدم
He spoke thus, and then heard a voice:
"In this claim, I see you as a liar!
اگر خود بودئی راضی ز ما توزما کی جستئی هرگز رضا تو
If you were truly satisfied with Us,
When would you ever seek satisfaction from Us?
اگر راضی شدی از ما تو مجنونرضای ما چرا جستی تو اکنون
If you have become satisfied with Us, you madman,
Why are you seeking Our satisfaction now?
کسی کو در رضا عین کمالستچو راضیست او رضا جستن محالست
For one who is the essence of perfection in satisfaction,
Since he is satisfied, seeking satisfaction is impossible.
اگر تو راضئی از ما چه جوئیوگرنه خویش را راضی چه گوئی
If you are satisfied with Us, what are you seeking?
And if not, why do you call yourself satisfied?
رضا ده صبر کن بنشین و مخروشچه سودا می پزی مستیز و کم جوش
Yield, have patience, sit down, and do not clamor;
What delusion are you concocting? Do not quarrel and seethe so much!
زمانی در تمنای محالیزمانی در جوال صد خیالی
One moment you desire an impossibility,
Another moment you are caught in a sack of a hundred illusions.
سخن می نشنوی یک ذره آخرکه گشتی از محالی غره آخر
You do not listen to a single word in the end,
For you have become deluded by an impossibility after all."
