(۱۲) حکایت گناه کار روز محشر / (12) The Tale of the Sinner on the Day of Resurrection

Original content

چنین نقلی درستست از پیمبر
که حق گوید بشخصی روز محشر

که ای بنده بیا و نامه برخوان
که تا چه کردهٔ عمری فراوان

چو بنده نامه برخواند سراسر
نه بیند جز معاصی چیز دیگر

چو در نامه نه بیند جز سیاهی
زبان بگشاید و گوید الهی

بدوزخ می روم زین عمر تاوان
حقش گوید که پشت نامه برخوان

چو پشت نامه برخواند بیکبار
چنان یابد نوشته آخر کار

بتوبه در پشیمان گشته باشد
همه دردیش درمان گشته باشد

بجای هر بدی دانندهٔ راز
بداده باشدش ده نیکوئی باز

بدی را چون پشیمان گشته باشد
خدا ده نیکوئی بنوشته باشد

چو بنده آن ببیند شاد گردد
زهی بنده که چون آزاد گردد

بحق گوید که ای قیوم مطلق
ندیدم ازکرام الکاتبین حق

که من دارم گنه زین بیش بسیار
که ننوشتند بر من آن دو هشیار

بگو کان بر من مسکین نوشتند
مگر آن می ستردند این نوشتند

که تا چندان که بد کردم ز آغاز
بهر یک ده نکوئی می دهی باز

اگر چه من گناه آلود مردم
ز فضلت بر گناهان سود کردم

پیمبر از چنین گفتار و کردار
بخندید و شدش دندان پدیدار

پس آنگه گفت ای دارندهٔ پاک
زهی گستاخی آخر از کفی خاک

ز سری کان میان جان پاکست
اگرآگه شوی بیم هلاکست

که می داند که این سر عجب چیست
چنین سری عجایب را سبب چیست

ترا در پیش چندین پیچ پیچی
نه زان آمد که یعنی هیچ هیچی

ولی این جمله زان افتاد در راه
که تا از خویش گردی بو که آگاه

چو تو معشوق بودی او چنان کرد
که از چشم خود و خلقت نهان کرد

هزاران پردهٔ اسباب بنهاد
درون جمله تخت خواب بنهاد

تو با معشوق زیر پرده بر تخت
توانی خفت بی غیری زهی بخت

چو نتوان دید سر تا پای معشوق
چنین بهتر که باشد جای معشوق

که جلوه دادن معشوق هرگز
مسلم نیست پنهان باید از عز

English translation

Such a report is true from the Prophet That God says to a person on the Day of Resurrection: 'O servant, come and read the record To see what you have done in your long life.' When the servant reads the record through and through He sees nothing but transgressions. When he sees nothing but blackness in the record He opens his tongue and says: 'O God, I am going to Hell from this life of loss.' God tells him: 'Read the back of the record.' When he reads the back of the record at once He finds it written thus at the end of the matter: He has become regretful through repentance All his pain has become a cure. In place of every evil, the Knower of Secrets Has given him ten good deeds in return. When he has become regretful for the evil God has written ten good deeds. When the servant sees that, he becomes joyful Excellent is the servant who becomes free like that! He says to Truth: 'O Absolute Sustainer, I did not see from the Honorable Scribes justice, For I have many more sins than these Which those two watchful ones did not write against me. Say that they wrote them against me, the wretched one Perhaps they erased those and wrote these. So that as much as I did evil from the beginning For each one You give ten good deeds back. Although I am a sin-stained person I profited from my sins through Your grace.' The Prophet, from such speech and action, Laughed and his teeth became visible. Then he said: 'O Pure Owner, How bold is this handful of dust in the end!' From the secret that is within the pure soul If you become aware, there is fear of destruction. Who knows what this wonderful secret is? What is the cause of such wonderful secrets? You have many twists and turns before you They did not come so that you are nothing at all. But all this fell on the path So that you might become aware of yourself. Since you were the beloved, He acted thus That He hid from His own eye and creation. He placed thousands of veils of causes Inside all of them He placed a bed. You with the Beloved under the veil on the bed Can sleep without any other; what good fortune! Since the Beloved cannot be seen from head to toe It is better thus that the place of the Beloved be. For the manifestation of the Beloved never Is permitted; it must be hidden out of honor.
