1313-1337

  • When the Eternal comes, the temporal is made vain: what, then, should the temporal know of Eternity?
  • چون قدیم آید حدث گردد عبث  ** پس کجا داند قدیمی را حدث 
  • When Eternity comes in contact with the temporal, it strikes it dumb; when it has naughted it, it makes it homogeneous (with itself).
  • بر حدث چون زد قدم دنگش کند  ** چونک کردش نیست هم‌رنگش کند 
  • You can find a hundred parallels (of this sort) if you wish, but I do not care (to supply them), O dervish. 1315
  • گر بخواهی تو بیایی صد نظیر  ** لیک من پروا ندارم ای فقیر 
  • This Alif-Lám-Mím and Há-Mím—these Letters become, on (real) comprehension (of their meaning), like the rod of Moses.
  • این الم و حم این حروف  ** چون عصای موسی آمد در وقوف 
  • The (other) letters resemble these Letters outwardly but are subject (to them) in respect of the (sublime) attributes of the latter.
  • حرفها ماند بدین حرف از برون  ** لیک باشد در صفات این زبون 
  • A staff that any one takes on trial—how should it be described as being like that staff (Moses' rod)?
  • هر که گیرد او عصایی ز امتحان  ** کی بود چون آن عصا وقت بیان 
  • This Breath is (like the breath) of Jesus (in its effects); it is not (like) any wind and breath that arises from joy or sorrow.
  • عیسویست این دم نه هر باد و دمی  ** که برآید از فرح یا از غمی 
  • This Alif-Lám-Mím and Há-Mím, O father, have come from the presence of the Lord of Mankind. 1320
  • این الم است و حم ای پدر  ** آمدست از حضرت مولی البشر 
  • What resemblance has any (other) alif-lám to these? Do not regard them with this (external) eye, if you have a (rational) soul.
  • هر الف لامی چه می‌ماند بدین  ** گر تو جان داری بدین چشمش مبین 
  • Although they are composed of letters, O sire, and resemble the composition of (words used by) the common folk, (yet they are not the same).
  • گر چه ترکیبش حروفست ای همام  ** می‌بماند هم به ترکیب عوام 
  • Mohammed is composed of flesh and skin; (but he is unique) although every body is homogeneous with him in its composition.
  • هست ترکیب محمد لحم و پوست  ** گرچه در ترکیب هر تن جنس اوست 
  • It hath flesh, it hath skin and bone; (yet) has this (ordinary) constitution the same (qualities as his)?
  • گوشت دارد پوست دارد استخوان  ** هیچ این ترکیب را باشد همان 
  • (No); for in that constitution (of Mohammed) there appeared miracles by which all (other) constitutions were vanquished. 1325
  • که اندر آن ترکیب آمد معجزات  ** که همه ترکیبها گشتند مات 
  • Likewise, the composition of the (Letters) Há-Mím in the (Holy) Book is exceedingly lofty, while the others are low (in comparison),
  • هم‌چنان ترکیب حم کتاب  ** هست بس بالا و دیگرها نشیب 
  • Because from this composition comes life, like the blast of the trumpet (of Resurrection), (to those) in helplessness.
  • زانک زین ترکیب آید زندگی  ** هم‌چو نفخ صور در درماندگی 
  • By the dispensation of God Há-Mím becomes a dragon and cleaves the sea like the rod (of Moses).
  • اژدها گردد شکافد بحر را  ** چون عصا حم از داد خدا 
  • Its external appearance resembles (other) appearances, but the disc (round cake) of bread is very far from (being) the disc of the moon.
  • ظاهرش ماند به ظاهرها ولیک  ** قرص نان از قرص مه دورست نیک 
  • His (the Shaykh's) weeping, his laughter, and his speech are not from him: they are the pure nature of Hú (God). 1330
  • گریه‌ی او خنده‌ی او نطق او  ** نیست از وی هست محض خلق هو 
  • Since the foolish took (only) the external appearances (into consideration), and (since) the subtleties (inward aspects) were very much hidden from them,
  • چونک ظاهرها گرفتند احمقان  ** وآن دقایق شد ازیشان بس نهان 
  • Necessarily they were debarred from (attaining to) the (real) object; for the subtlety escaped (them) on the occasion when it (the object) presented itself.
  • لاجرم محجوب گشتند از غرض  ** که دقیقه فوت شد در معترض 
  • Story of the maidservant who cum asino herae suae libidinem exercebat et eum tanquam caprum et ursam docuerat libidinem more humano exercere et veretro asini cucurbitam affigebat ne modum excederet. Her mistress discovered it but did not perceive the device of the gourd; making a pretext, she sent the maid away to a distant place and cum asino concubuit sine cucurbita and perished shamefully. The maid came back late and lamented, crying, “O my soul and O light of my eyes, veretrum vidisti, curcurbitam non vidisti; penem vidisti, illud alterum non vidisti.” (According to the Tradition) every deficient one is accursed, i.e. every deficient insight and understanding is accursed; for those deficient in respect of the outward eye are objects of (Divine) mercy and are not accursed. Recite (the Verse), It is no crime in the blind. (In their case) He (God) has removed the crime, He has removed the curse, and He has removed the reproach and the wrath. [Story of the maidservant who indulged (her) lust with (her) mistress’ ass; she had trained it like a goat or a bear to indulge in lust like a man. And she used to put a gourd on the ass’s penis so that it would not exceed the measure (of her vagina). Her mistress discovered it but did not perceive the device of the gourd; making a pretext, she sent the maid away to a distant place and she copulated with the ass without the gourd and perished shamefully. The maid came back late and lamented, crying, “O my soul and O light of my eyes, you saw the cock (but) you did not see the gourd; you saw the penis (but) you did not see that other thing.” (According to the Tradition)…]
