از پس صد سال آنچ آید ازو ** پیر میبیند معین مو به مو 2025
- The Pír is seeing distinctly, hair by hair, what will become of him (the Khwája) after a hundred years.
-
اندر آیینه چه بیند مرد عام ** که نبیند پیر اندر خشت خام
- What does the common man see in the mirror that the Pír does not see in the crude brick (of iron)?
-
آنچ لحیانی به خانهی خود ندید ** هست بر کوسه یکایک آن پدید
- That which the bushy-bearded man never saw in his own house is apparent at once to him who has but a few hairs on his chin.
-
رو به دریایی که ماهیزادهای ** همچو خس در ریش چون افتادهای
- Go to the Sea of whose fish thou art born: how hast thou fallen, like rubbish, into the beard?
-
خس نهای دور از تو رشک گوهری ** در میان موج و بحر اولیتری
- Thou art not rubbish—far be it from thee! Thou art an object of envy to the pearl: thou hast the best right (to dwell) amidst the waves and the sea.
-
بحر وحدانست جفت و زوج نیست ** گوهر و ماهیش غیر موج نیست 2030
- ’Tis the Sea of Unity: there is no fellow or consort: its pearls and fishes are not other than its waves.
-
ای محال و ای محال اشراک او ** دور از آن دریا و موج پاک او
- Oh, absurd, absurd to make (aught) its partner. Far be it from that Sea and its pure waves!
-
نیست اندر بحر شرک و پیچ پیچ ** لیک با احول چه گویم هیچ هیچ
- In the Sea there is no partnership or perplexity; but what can I say to him that sees double? Nothing, nothing.
-
چونک جفت احولانیم ای شمن ** لازم آید مشرکانه دم زدن
- Since we are the mates of those who see double, O idolater, ’tis necessary to speak in the fashion of him who attributes a partner (to God).
-
آن یکیی زان سوی وصفست و حال ** جز دوی ناید به میدان مقال
- That Unity is beyond description and condition: nothing comes into the arena (domain) of speech except duality.
