  • How Abú Yazíd (Bistámí) announced the birth of Abu ’l-Hasan Kharraqání—may God sanctify the spirit of them both—(many) years before it took place, and gave a detailed description of his outer and inner characteristics; and how the chronologers wrote it down for the purpose of observation.
  • مژده دادن ابویزید از زادن ابوالحسن خرقانی قدس الله روحهما پیش از سالها و نشان صورت او سیرت او یک به یک و نوشتن تاریخ‌نویسان آن در جهت رصد

  • One day that sultan of piety was passing with his disciples (on the way) towards the open country and the plain.

  • Suddenly there came to him, in the district of Rayy, a sweet scent from the direction of Kháraqán.
  • بوی خوش آمد مر او را ناگهان ** در سواد ری ز سوی خارقان
  • On the spot he uttered the lamentable cry of one who is yearning, and sniffed the scent from the breeze. 1805

  • When “sweat” appears on the outside of a pot that is full of icy water,
  • کوزه‌ای کو از یخابه پر بود ** چون عرق بر ظاهرش پیدا شود
  • It has been turned into water by the coldness of the air: the moisture has not escaped from the inside of the pot.
  • آن ز سردی هوا آبی شدست ** از درون کوزه نم بیرون نجست
  • The scent-bearing breeze became water for him; for him too the water became pure wine.

  • When the marks of intoxication appeared in him, a disciple questioned him concerning that breath (Divine afflatus); 1810

  • Then he asked him, “(What are) these sweet ecstasies which are beyond the pale of the five (senses) and the six (directions)?
  • پس بپرسیدش که این احوال خوش ** که برونست از حجاب پنج و شش
  • Thy face is becoming now red and now yellow and now white: what is the (good) hap and the glad tidings?
  • گاه سرخ و گاه زرد و گه سپید ** می‌شود رویت چه حالست و نوید
  • Thou art inhaling scent, and no flowers are visible: doubtless it is from the Unseen and from the garden of the Universal.
  • می‌کشی بوی و به ظاهر نیست گل ** بی‌شک از غیبست و از گلزار کل
  • O thou who art the desire of every one who (wilfully) follows his own desire (for God), thou to whom there is (coming) at every moment a message and letter from the Unseen,
  • ای تو کام جان هر خودکامه‌ای ** هر دم از غیبت پیام و نامه‌ای
  • Thou to whose (spiritual) organ of smell there is coming at every moment, as to Jacob, balm from a Joseph, 1815

  • Spill upon us one drop from that pitcher, give us one word that smells of that garden.

  • We are not accustomed, O (thou who art the) beauty of (spiritual) majesty, that thou shouldst drink alone while our lips are dry.

  • O nimble, nimbly-rising traverser of Heaven, spill upon us one draught of that which thou hast drunk.

  • He may disguise and conceal the scent, (but) how will he hide his intoxicated eye?
  • بوی را پوشیده و مکنون کند ** چشم مست خویشتن را چون کند
  • In sooth this is not a scent that thousands of veils will keep hidden in the world.
  • خود نه آن بویست این که اندر جهان ** صد هزاران پرده‌اش دارد نهان
  • The desert and plain are filled with its pungency. What (of the) plain? for it hath passed even beyond the nine spheres (of Heaven).
