2146-2170

  • By lusts and desires the body was (merely) killed, (but) by (the words) bismilláh (uttered) in the ritual prayer it was sacrificed.
  • گشت کشته تن ز شهوتها و آز ** شد به بسم الله بسمل در نماز
  • Whilst performing the prayer (they were) drawn up in ranks before God, as at the Resurrection, and engaged in self-examination and orisons,
  • چون قیامت پیش حق صفها زده ** در حساب و در مناجات آمده
  • Standing in God's presence and shedding tears, like one who rises erect on (the Day of) rising from the dead.
  • ایستاده پیش یزدان اشک‌ریز ** بر مثال راست‌خیز رستخیز
  • (On that Day) God will say, “What hast thou produced for Me during this term of respite which I gave thee?
  • حق همی‌گوید چه آوردی مرا ** اندرین مهلت که دادم من ترا
  • In what (work) hast thou brought thy life to its end? In what hast thou consumed thy food and strength? 2150
  • عمر خود را در چه پایان برده‌ای ** قوت و قوت در چه فانی کرده‌ای
  • Where hast thou dimmed the lustre of thine eye? Where hast thou dissipated thy five senses?
  • گوهر دیده کجا فرسوده‌ای ** پنج حس را در کجا پالوده‌ای
  • Thou hast expended eyes and ears and intellect and the pure celestial substances: what hast thou purchased from the earth?
  • چشم و هوش و گوش و گوهرهای عرش ** خرج کردی چه خریدی تو ز فرش
  • I gave thee hands and feet as spade and mattock (for tilling the soil of good works). When did those become (existent) of themselves?”
  • دست و پا دادمت چون بیل و کلند ** من ببخشیدم ز خود آن کی شدند
  • Even so hundreds of thousands of such sorrowful messages come from the Lord.
  • همچنین پیغامهای دردگین ** صد هزاران آید از حضرت چنین
  • At the time of standing (in prayer) these words return (from God to the worshipper), and from shame he is bent double in the genuflexion. 2155
  • در قیام این کفتها دارد رجوع ** وز خجالت شد دوتا او در رکوع
  • From shame the power of standing remains not, and from abashment he recites a litany of glorification while his knees are bowed.
  • قوت استادن از خجلت نماند ** در رکوع از شرم تسبیحی بخواند
  • Then comes the (Divine) command, “Lift up thy head from the genuflexion and tell over (what thou hast to say in) answer to God.”
  • باز فرمان می‌رسد بردار سر ** از رکوع و پاسخ حق بر شمر
  • The shamefaced one lifts up his head from the genuflexion; then that man whose works are unripe (imperfect) falls on his face.
  • سر بر آرد از رکوع آن شرمسار ** باز اندر رو فتد آن خام‌کار
  • Again the (Divine) command comes to him, “Lift up thy head from the prostration and give an account of thy deeds.”
  • باز فرمان آیدش بردار سر ** از سجود و وا ده از کرده خبر
  • Once more the shamefaced one lifts up his head, and falls again on his face, (flat) as a snake. 2160
  • سر بر آرد او دگر ره شرمسار ** اندر افتد باز در رو همچو مار
  • Again He says, “Lift up thy head and relate (thy deeds), for I will inquire of thee (concerning them), hair by hair.”
  • باز گوید سر بر آر و باز گو ** که بخواهم جست از تو مو بمو
  • He hath no power to stand on foot, since the words of awe addressed to him have smitten his soul;
  • قوت پا ایستادن نبودش ** که خطاب هیبتی بر جان زدش
  • So he sits down because of that heavy burden. (Then) the Lord says to him, “Speak plainly!
  • پس نشیند قعده زان بار گران ** حضرتش گوید سخن گو با بیان
  • I gave thee bounty: tell (Me), what were thy thanks? I gave thee capital: come, show (Me) the interest.”
  • نعمتت دادم بگو شکرت چه بود ** دادمت سرمایه هین بنمای سود
  • (Then) he (the worshipper) turns his face to the right hand in the salutation—towards the spirits of the prophets and those of the noble (saints), 2165
  • رو بدست راست آرد در سلام ** سوی جان انبیا و آن کرام
  • Meaning to say, “O kings, (vouchsafe) intercession, for this vile one's feet and mantle are stuck fast in the mire.”
  • یعنی ای شاهان شفاعت کین لیم ** سخت در گل ماندش پای و گلیم
  • Explaining that the salutation (in prayer) towards the right hand at the Resurrection indicates (the worshipper's) dread of being examined by God and (his) seeking help and intercession from the prophets.
  • بیان اشارت سلام سوی دست راست در قیامت از هیبت محاسبه حق از انبیا استعانت و شفاعت خواستن
  • The prophets say, “The day for remedy is past; the remedy and the strong implement (for tilling the soil of good works) were there.
  • انبیا گویند روز چاره رفت ** چاره آنجا بود و دست‌افزار زفت
  • Thou art an untimely bird. Begone, O miserable one, take leave of us, do not wade in our blood.”
  • مرغ بی‌هنگامی ای بدبخت رو ** ترک ما گو خون ما اندر مشو
  • (Then) he turns his face to the left hand towards his family and kinsfolk: they say to him, “Be silent!
  • رو بگرداند به سوی دست چپ ** در تبار و خویش گویندش که خپ
  • Hark, answer for thyself to the Creator. Who are we? Sire, keep thy hands off us!” 2170
  • هین جواب خویش گو با کردگار ** ما کییم ای خواجه دست از ما بدار
