2325-2349

  • شب نرفتی هوش بی‌فرمان من  ** زیر دام من بدی مرغان من  2325
  • At night my consciousness would not go (from me) without my bidding, and my birds (senses and faculties) would be under my trap.
  • بودمی آگه ز منزلهای جان  ** وقت خواب و بیهشی و امتحان 
  • I should be aware of the stages (of the journey) of the soul (both) at the time of sleep and unconsciousness and (at the time of) tribulation.
  • چون کفم زین حل و عقد او تهیست  ** ای عجب این معجبی من ز کیست 
  • Inasmuch as my hand is (made) empty by this (sovereign) power of His to loose and bind, oh, I wonder, from whom comes this self-conceit of mine?
  • دیده را نادیده خود انگاشتم  ** باز زنبیل دعا برداشتم 
  • I have even deemed that what I saw was not seen (by me), and (like a beggar) I have again held up the basket of invocation.
  • چون الف چیزی ندارم ای کریم  ** جز دلی دلتنگ‌تر از چشم میم 
  • Like alif, I possess nothing, O Gracious One, except a heart more constricted with anguish than the eye of mim.
  • این الف وین میم ام بود ماست  ** میم ام تنگست الف زو نر گداست  2330
  • This alif and this mím are the mother (umm) of our existence: the mím of umm is narrow (distressful), and the alif is (begging for deliverance) from it (like) a sturdy beggar.
  • آن الف چیزی ندارد غافلیست  ** میم دلتنگ آن زمان عاقلیست 
  • (The state denoted by) ‘alif possesses nothing’ is forgetfulness (unconsciousness); the distressful mím is (denotes) the time of rationality (consciousness).
  • در زمان بیهشی خود هیچ من  ** در زمان هوش اندر پیچ من 
  • During the time of unconsciousness I am nothing at all; during the time of consciousness I am in torment.
  • هیچ دیگر بر چنین هیچی منه  ** نام دولت بر چنین پیچی منه 
  • Do not lay another nothing upon a nothing like this; do not put the name of ‘(worldly) fortune’ upon a torment like this.
  • خود ندارم هیچ به سازد مرا  ** که ز وهم دارم است این صد عنا 
  • Truly (the state of) ‘I possess nothing’ suits me better, since these hundred troubles arise from imagining that I possess (something).
  • در ندارم هم تو داراییم کن  ** رنج دیدم راحت‌افزاییم کن  2335
  • Just in (the state where) I possess nothing do Thou act in sovereign fashion towards me. I have suffered pain: do Thou increase my pleasure.
  • هم در آب دیده عریان بیستم  ** بر در تو چونک دیده نیستم 
  • I will just stand naked in (a flood of) tears at Thy gate, since I have no sight.
  • آب دیده‌ی بنده‌ی بی‌دیده را  ** سبزه‌ای بخش و نباتی زین چرا 
  • Do Thou bestow on the tears of Thy sightless slave a verdure and vegetation from this (bountiful) pasture;
  • ور نمانم آب آبم ده ز عین  ** هم‌چو عینین نبی هطالتین 
  • And if I leave no tears (in my eyes), do Thou give me tears (flowing abundantly) from an eye like the two streaming eyes of the Prophet.
  • او چو آب دیده جست از جود حق  ** با چنان اقبال و اجلال و سبق 
  • Since he, with all that high fortune and majesty and pre-eminence, sought tears from the bounty of God,
  • چون نباشم ز اشک خون باریک‌ریس  ** من تهی‌دست قصور کاسه‌لیس  2340
  • How should not I, an empty-handed destitute lick-platter, spin fine webs of blood-stained tears?
  • چون چنان چشم اشک را مفتون بود  ** اشک من باید که صد جیحون بود 
  • Inasmuch as an eye like that (of the Prophet) is enamoured of tears, it behoves my tears to be (like) a hundred great rivers.”
  • قطره‌ای زان زین دو صد جیحون به است  ** که بدان یک قطره انس و جن برست 
  • A single drop of those (tears) is better than these two hundred great rivers, for by that single drop mankind and the Jinn were saved.
  • چونک باران جست آن روضه‌ی بهشت  ** چون نجوید آب شوره‌خاک زشت 
  • Since that Garden of Paradise sought rain, how should not the foul briny soil seek water?
  • ای اخی دست از دعا کردن مدار  ** با اجابت یا رد اویت چه کار 
  • O comrade, do not refrain from invoking (God): what business do you have with His acceptance or rejection (of your prayer)?
  • نان که سد و مانع این آب بود  ** دست از آن نان می‌بباید شست زود  2345
  • Since bread (worldliness) was the barrier and obstacle to this water (tears), you must quickly wash your hands of that bread.
  • خویش را موزون و چست و سخته کن  ** ز آب دیده نان خود را پخته کن 
  • Make yourself harmonious and congruous and balanced: let your bread be baked well with (burning) tears.
  • آواز دادن هاتف مر طالب گنج را و اعلام کردن از حقیقت اسرار آن 
  • How the Voice from heaven called to the seeker of the treasure and acquainted him with the truth of the mysteries thereof.
  • اندرین بود او که الهام آمدش  ** کشف شد این مشکلات از ایزدش 
  • He was (engaged) in this (prayer) when inspiration came to him and these difficulties were solved for him by God,
  • کو بگفتت در کمان تیری بنه  ** کی بگفتندت که اندر کش تو زه 
  • Saying, “It (the Divine intimation) told you to put an arrow to the bow, (but) when were you told to pull the bowstring (hard)?
  • او نگفتت که کمان را سخت‌کش  ** در کمان نه گفت او نه پر کنش 
  • It did not tell you to draw the bow hard: it bade you put (the arrow) to the bow, not ‘shoot with your full strength.’
