3085-3094

  • لیک این دو ضد استیزه نما ** یکدل و یک کار باشد در رضا 3085
  • Yet these two opposites, who seem to be at strife, are of one mind and acting together in agreement.

  • هر نبی و هر ولی را مسلکی است ** لیک تا حق می‌‌برد جمله یکی است‌‌
  • Every prophet and every saint hath a way (of religious doctrine and practice), but it leads to God: all (the ways) are (really) one.

  • چون که جمع مستمع را خواب برد ** سنگهای آسیا را آب برد
  • When slumber (heedlessness) overtook the concentration (attention) of the listener, the water carried the millstones away.

  • رفتن این آب فوق آسیاست ** رفتنش در آسیا بهر شماست‌‌
  • The course of this water is above the mill: its going into the mill is for your sakes.

  • چون شما را حاجت طاحون نماند ** آب را در جوی اصلی باز راند
  • Since ye had no further need of the mill, he (the prophet or saint) made the water flow back into the original stream.

  • ناطقه سوی دهان تعلیم راست ** ور نه خود آن نطق را جویی جداست‌‌ 3090
  • The rational spirit (the Logos) is (coming) to the mouth for the purpose of teaching: else (it would not come, for) truly that speech hath a channel apart:

  • می‌‌رود بی‌‌بانگ و بی‌‌تکرارها ** تحتها الأنهار تا گلزارها
  • It is moving without noise and without repetitions (of sound) to the rose-gardens beneath which are the rivers.

  • ای خدا جان را تو بنما آن مقام ** کاندر او بی‌‌حرف می‌‌روید کلام‌‌
  • O God, do Thou reveal to the soul that place where speech is growing without letters,

  • تا که سازد جان پاک از سر قدم ** سوی عرصه‌‌ی دور پهنای عدم‌‌
  • That the pure soul may make of its head a foot (fly headlong) towards the far stretching expanse of non-existence—

  • عرصه‌‌ای بس با گشاد و با فضا ** وین خیال و هست یابد زو نوا
  • An expanse very ample and spacious; and from it this phantasy and being (of ours) is fed.
