(۲) حکایت آن بزرگ با خواجه علی طوسی / (2) The Tale of That Great One with Khwaja Ali Tusi

Original content

بزرگی هم نکودل هم نکو عقل
ز خواجه بوعلی طوسی کند نقل

که این ساعت تو در عین بلائی
که از سر تا قدم جمله فنائی

همه پشتی همه رو گرد در راه
همه رؤیت همه دیده شو آنگاه

همه دیده همه دل شو بیکبار
که تا آگه شوی زین رمز بسیار

اگر تو جملهٔ دل درد گردی
همه درمان شوی و مرد گردی

اگر تو درد خواهی تا بدانی
ترا مرگست روی ای زندگانی

ولی میدان که عین درد آنست
که هرگز در دو عالم کس ندانست

English translation

A great one, both good-hearted and of good intellect, Narrates from Khwaja Abu Ali Tusi: "That at this hour you are in the essence of affliction, For from head to foot you are utter annihilation. You are all back, turn all face in the path; Become all vision, become all eye then. Become all eye, become all heart at once, So that you may become aware of this great mystery. If you become entirely the pain of the heart, You will become all remedy and become a true man. If you desire pain so that you may know, Death faces you, O life! But know that the essence of pain is that Which no one in the two worlds has ever known."
