Rumi's Masnavi - Does he feel any regret for (his former) wakefulness and for the body (which he has left) in chains at the bottom of the dungeon?

هیچ او حسرت خورد بر انتباه ** بر تن با سلسله در قعر چاه
Does he feel any regret for (his former) wakefulness and for the body (which he has left) in chains at the bottom of the dungeon?

مومنی آخر در آ در صف رزم ** که ترا بر آسمان بودست بزم
(If) thou art a true believer, come now, enter the ranks of battle, for a feast has been (prepared) for thee in Heaven.

بر امید راه بالا کن قیام ** هم‌چو شمعی پیش محراب ای غلام
In the hope of journeying upwards, (arise and) take thy stand before the mihráb, (to pray and weep) like a candle, O youth!

اشک می‌بار و همی‌سوز از طلب ** هم‌چو شمع سر بریده جمله شب
Let thy tears fall like rain, and burn (be ardent) in search (aspiration) all night long, like the candle beheaded (by the flame).

دم به دم بر آسمان می‌دار امید ** در هوای آسمان رقصان چو بید
Continually keep thy hope (fixed) on Heaven, dancing (quivering) like the willow in desire for Heaven.

دم به دم از آسمان می‌آیدت ** آب و آتش رزق می‌افزایدت
Continually from Heaven (spiritual) water and fire will be coming to thee and increasing thy provision.

گر ترا آنجا برد نبود عجب ** منگر اندر عجز و بنگر در طلب
If it (thy aspiration) bear thee thither, ’tis no wonder: do not regard thy weakness, regard thy search (aspiration);

کین طلب در تو گروگان خداست ** زانک هر طالب به مطلوبی سزاست
For this search is God's pledge (deposited) within thee, because every seeker deserves something sought (by him).

جهد کن تا این طلب افزون شود ** تا دلت زین چاه تن بیرون شود 1735
Strive that this search may increase, so that thy heart (spirit) may escape from this bodily dungeon.

خلق گوید مرد مسکین آن فلان ** تو بگویی زنده‌ام ای غافلان
People will say, “Poor so-and-so is dead,” (but) thou wilt say, “I am living, O ye heedless ones!

گر تن من هم‌چو تن‌ها خفته است ** هشت جنت در دلم بشکفته است
Though my body, like (other) bodies, is laid to rest, the Eight Paradises have blossomed in my heart.”

جان چو خفته در گل و نسرین بود ** چه غمست ار تن در آن سرگین بود
When the spirit is lying at rest amidst roses and eglantines, what does it matter if the body is (buried) in that dung?

جان خفته چه خبر دارد ز تن ** کو به گلشن خفت یا در گولخن
What should the spirit (thus) laid asleep know of the body, (or care) whether it (the body) is in a rose-garden or an ashpit?

می‌زند جان در جهان آبگون ** نعره یا لیت قومی یعلمون 1740
(For) in the bright (celestial) world the spirit is crying, “Oh, would that my people knew!”

گر نخواهد زیست جان بی این بدن ** پس فلک ایوان کی خواهد بدن
If the spirit shall not live without this body, then for whom shall Heaven be the palace (of everlasting abode)?

گر نخواهد بی بدن جان تو زیست ** فی السماء رزقکم روزی کیست
If thy spirit shall not live without the body, for whom is the blessing (promised in the words) in Heaven is your provision?

در بیان وخامت چرب و شیرین دنیا و مانع شدن او از طعام الله چنانک فرمود الجوع طعام الله یحیی به ابدان الصدیقین ای فی الجوع طعام الله و قوله ابیت عند ربی یطعمنی و یسقینی و قوله یرزقون فرحین
Explaining the banefulness of the fat and sweet things of the World and how they hinder one from (receiving) the Food of God, as he (the Prophet) hath said—“Hunger is the Food of God with which He revives the bodies of the true (witnesses to Him),” i.e. in hunger the Food of God is (forthcoming); and he hath said, “I pass the night with my Lord and He gives me food and drink”; and God hath said, “being provided for, rejoicing.”

وا رهی زین روزی ریزه‌ی کثیف ** در فتی در لوت و در قوت شریف
(If) you are delivered from this provision of gross scraps, you will fall to (eating) dainty viands and noble food.

گر هزاران رطل لوتش می‌خوری ** می‌روی پاک و سبک هم‌چون پری
(Even) if you are eating a hundred pounds' weight of His viands, you will depart pure and light as a peri;

که نه حبس باد و قولنجت کند ** چارمیخ معده آهنجت کند 1745
For they will not make you a prisoner of (incapacitated by) wind and dysentery and crucify you with gripes.

گر خوری کم گرسنه مانی چو زاغ ** ور خوری پر گیرد آروغت دماغ
(In the case of material food) if you eat (too) little, you will remain hungry like the crow; and if you eat your fill, you will suffer from eructation.

کم خوری خوی بد و خشکی و دق ** پر خوری شد تخمه را تن مستحق
If you eat (too) little, (the result will be) ill-temper and anaemia and consumption; if you eat your fill, your body will incur (the penalty of) indigestion.

از طعام الله و قوت خوش‌گوار ** بر چنان دریا چو کشتی شو سوار
Through (partaking of) the Food of God and the easily digested (delicious) nutriment, ride like a ship on such a (spiritual) ocean.

که آن خدای خوب‌کار بردبار ** هدیه‌ها را می‌دهد در انتظار 1750
For God, who acts with goodness and is long-suffering, bestows (His) gifts (on them that are) in expectation.
