(۷) حکایت دیوانه که اشک می‬ریخت / (7) The Tale of the Madman Who Shed Tears

Original content

یکی دیوانه می ریخت اشک بسیار
یکی گفتش چرا گرئی چنین زار

بگویم، گفت ازانم خون فشانی
که تا دل سوزدش بر من زمانی

یکی گفتش که او را دل نباشد
کسی کین گوید او عاقل نباشد

جوابش داد آن دیوانه پیشه
که او دارد همه دلها همیشه

همه دلها که او دارد شگرفست
چه گونه دل ندارد این چه حرفست

همه چیزی که اینجا هست از آنجاست
بدو نیک و بلند و پست از آنجاست

پس این دلهای ما ز آنجا بود نیز
دل تنها نمی گویم همه چیز

ترا گر خیر و شر آید دوایت
از آنجا می توان کردن روایت

ببین تا خاک جبریل از چه خون کرد
که قوم سامری را سرنگون کرد

ولی چون باد ازو در مریم آمد
ز روح الله حیات عالم آمد

بدان اینجا که خیر و شر از آنجاست
اگر نفعست از آنجا ضر از آنجاست

تو زان رو بیخبر از قدس پاکی
که اندر تنگنای آب و خاکی

اگر تو زین خراب آزاد گردی
چو گنجی در خراب آباد گردی

هم اینجا گرچه زین دل خسته باشی
بدل باری بحق پیوسته باشی

English translation

A madman was shedding many tears. Someone said to him, 'Why do you weep so bitterly?' He said, 'I shall tell you; my weeping of blood is for this reason: So that He might feel compassion for me for a moment.' Someone said to him, 'He does not have a heart; Anyone who says this is not wise.' That madman replied, 'He possesses all hearts, always. All the hearts He possesses are wondrous; How can He not have a heart? What kind of talk is this? Everything that exists here is from there; Good and bad, high and low, are from there. So these hearts of ours are from there as well; I do not mean only the heart, but everything. If good and evil come to you as your remedy, It can be traced back to that place. See how the dust of Gabriel shed blood, Which overthrew the people of Samiri. But when the breath from Him entered Mary, The life of the world came from the Spirit of God. Know here that both good and evil are from there; If there is benefit, it is from there; if harm, it is from there. You are unaware of that pure, holy realm for this reason: That you are in the narrow confines of water and clay. If you become free from this ruin, You will be like a treasure in a ruined place. Even here, though you may be weary of this heart, By the heart, at least, you will be joined to the Truth.'
