کاملان از دور نامت بشنوند ** تا به قعر باد و بودت در دوند1800
The perfect (the divine physicians) will hear your name from afar and quickly penetrate into the deepest ground of your being and existence;
بلک پیش از زادن تو سالها ** دیده باشندت ترا با حالها
Nay, they will have seen you (many) years before your birth —you together with all the circumstances (connected with you).
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
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.
آن شنیدی داستان بایزید ** که ز حال بوالحسن پیشین چه دید
Have you heard the story of Báyazíd—what he saw beforehand of the (spiritual) state of Bu ’l-Hasan?
روزی آن سلطان تقوی می‌گذشت ** با مریدان جانب صحرا و دشت
One day that sultan of piety was passing with his disciples (on the way) towards the open country and the plain.
بوی خوش آمد مر او را ناگهان ** در سواد ری ز سوی خارقان
Suddenly there came to him, in the district of Rayy, a sweet scent from the direction of Kháraqán.
هم بدانجا ناله‌ی مشتاق کرد ** بوی را از باد استنشاق کرد1805
On the spot he uttered the lamentable cry of one who is yearning, and sniffed the scent from the breeze.
بوی خوش را عاشقانه می‌کشید ** جان او از باد باده می‌چشید
He was inhaling the sweet scent lovingly: his soul was tasting wine from the breeze.
کوزه‌ای کو از یخابه پر بود ** چون عرق بر ظاهرش پیدا شود
When “sweat” appears on the outside of a pot that is full of icy water,
آن ز سردی هوا آبی شدست ** از درون کوزه نم بیرون نجست
It has been turned into water by the coldness of the air: the moisture has not escaped from the inside of the pot.
باد بوی‌آور مر او را آب گشت ** آب هم او را شراب ناب گشت
The scent-bearing breeze became water for him; for him too the water became pure wine.
