  • That malign wretch was gabbling silly nonsense about the Shaykh: the perverted intellect is always squinting (envious).
  • آن خبیث از شیخ می‏لایید ژاژ ** کژنگر باشد همیشه عقل کاژ
  • (He said), “I saw him amidst a company (of revellers): he is one denuded and destitute of piety.
  • که منش دیدم میان مجلسی ** او ز تقوی عاری است و مفلسی‏
  • And if you do not believe it, arise (and go) to-night, that you may see plainly your Shaykh’s depravity.” 3400
  • ور که باور نیستت خیز امشبان ** تا ببینی فسق شیخت را عیان‏
  • At night he took him to a window and said, “Behold a (fine) debauch and merry-making!
  • شب ببردش بر سر یک روزنی ** گفت بنگر فسق و عشرت کردنی‏
  • Behold such hypocrisy by day and profligacy by night!––in the daytime (he is) like Mustafá (Mohammed), at night (like) Bú Lahab.
  • بنگر آن سالوس روز و فسق شب ** روز همچون مصطفی شب بو لهب‏
  • By day his name has become ‘Abdullah (the servant of God); by night––God save us! And (see), the wine-cup in his hand!”
  • روز عبد الله او را گشته نام ** شب نعوذ بالله و در دست جام‏
  • He (the disciple) saw a full glass in the Shaykh’s hand. “O Shaykh,” said he, “is there a tumour even in thee?
  • دید شیشه در کف آن پیر پر ** گفت شیخا مر ترا هم هست غر

  • تو نمی‏گفتی که در جام شراب ** دیو می‏میزد شتابان ناشتاب‏
  • He (the Shaykh) replied, “They have made my cup so full that there is not room in it for a single rue-seed.
  • گفت جامم را چنان پر کرده‏اند ** کاندر او اندر نگنجد یک سپند
  • Look, is there any room here for a single mote? A deluded man has wrongly apprehended this matter.”
  • بنگر اینجا هیچ گنجد ذره‏ای ** این سخن را کژ شنیده غره‏ای‏
  • This is not the apparent cup (or) the apparent wine: deem this (allegation) far from (far below the dignity of) the Shaykh who sees the Unseen.
  • جام ظاهر خمر ظاهر نیست این ** دور دار این را ز شیخ غیب بین‏
  • The wine-cup, O fool, is the being of the Shaykh, in qua (essentia) urina Diaboli non continetur.” [The wine cup, O fool, is the being of the Shaykh, in which the Devil’s urine is not contained.]
  • جام می هستی شیخ است ای فلیو ** کاندر او اندر نگنجد بول دیو
  • He is full and brimming with the Light of God: he has shattered the bodily cup, he is the Absolute Light. 3410
  • پر و مالامال از نور حق است ** جام تن بشکست نور مطلق است‏
  • If sunlight fall upon filth, it is the same light (still): it suffers no defilement.
  • نور خورشید ار بیفتد بر حدث ** او همان نور است نپذیرد خبث‏
  • The Shaykh said, “Indeed this is not a cup, nor (is this) wine. Hey, unbeliever, come down and look at it!”
  • شیخ گفت این خود نه جام است و نه می ** هین به زیر آن منکرا بنگر به وی‏
  • He came, and saw it was fine honey. That miserable enemy (of God) became blind (with shame and confusion).
  • آمد و دید انگبین خاص بود ** کور شد آن دشمن کور و کبود
  • Thereupon the Pír said to his disciple, “Go, seek wine for me, O noble sir;
  • گفت پیر آن دم مرید خویش را ** رو برای من بجو می ای کیا
  • For I have a pain; I am reduced to necessity: because of the pain, I have passed beyond starvation. 3415

  • The disciple went round the wine-cellar, tasting of every jar on the Shaykh’s behalf.
  • گرد خمخانه بر آمد آن مرید ** بهر شیخ از هر خمی او می‏چشید
  • In all the wine-cellars (that he visited) he found no wine the jars of wine had become full of honey.
  • در همه خمخانه‏ها او می ندید ** گشته بد پر از عسل خم نبید
  • He said, “O topers, what state of things is this? What is the matter? I find no wine in any jar.”
  • گفت ای رندان چه حال است این چه کار ** هیچ خمی در نمی‏بینم عقار
