Rumi's Masnavi - Thou blowest one terrible blast from the trumpet, and the place of Judgement becomes full of people (raised) from rotten bones.

Thou blowest one terrible blast from the trumpet, and the place of Judgement becomes full of people (raised) from rotten bones.

در دمی از صور یک بانگ عظیم ** پر شود محشر خلایق از رمیم

Thou blowest on the trumpet and criest, ‘Hark, spring up, O ye slain of Karbalá!

در دمی در صور گویی الصلا ** برجهید ای کشتگان کربلا

O ye who have perished by the sword of Death, put forth your heads from the earth (grave), like bough and leaf!’ 1625

ای هلاکت دیدگان از تیغ مرگ ** برزنید از خاک سر چون شاخ و برگ

From thy bringing the dead to life this world is filled with thy mercy and with that potent breath of thine.

رحمت تو وآن دم گیرای تو ** پر شود این عالم از احیای تو

Thou art the Angel of mercy: show mercy! Thou art the bearer of the Throne and the qibla of (Divine) gifts.”

تو فرشته‌ی رحمتی رحمت نما ** حامل عرشی و قبله‌ی دادها

The Throne is the mine (source) of justice and equity: beneath it are four rivers filled with forgiveness:

عرش معدن گاه داد و معدلت ** چار جو در زیر او پر مغفرت

A river of milk and a river of honey everlasting; a river of wine and a river of running water.

جوی شیر و جوی شهد جاودان ** جوی خمر و دجله‌ی آب روان

Then from the Throne they flow into Paradise; some little thing (offshoot) appears in this world too, 1630

پس ز عرش اندر بهشتستان رود ** در جهان هم چیزکی ظاهر شود

Although here those four (rivers) are defiled—by what? By the poison of mortality and indigestion.

گرچه آلوده‌ست اینجا آن چهار ** از چه از زهر فنا و ناگوار

From (each of) those four (rivers) a draught has been poured on the dark Earth and a temptation has been offered,

جرعه‌ای بر خاک تیره ریختند ** زان چهار و فتنه‌ای انگیختند

In order that these vile wretches may seek the source thereof; (but) these worthless folk are content with this (draught).

تا بجویند اصل آن را این خسان ** خود برین قانع شدند این ناکسان

He (God) hath given milk and nourishment for babes: He hath made the breast of every wife a fountain (of milk).

شیر داد و پرورش اطفال را ** چشمه کرده سینه‌ی هر زال را

(He hath given) wine to drive away grief and care: He hath made of the grape a fountain to inspire courage. 1635

خمر دفع غصه و اندیشه را ** چشمه کرده از عنب در اجترا

(He hath given) honey as a remedy for the sick body: He hath made the inward part of the bee a fountain (of honey).

انگبین داروی تن رنجور را ** چشمه کرده باطن زنبور را

He gave water universally to high and low for cleanliness and for drinking.

آب دادی عام اصل و فرع را ** از برای طهر و بهر کرع را

(The object is) that you may follow the track from these (derivatives) towards the origins; but you are content with this (offshoot), O trifler.

تا ازینها پی بری سوی اصول ** تو برین قانع شدی ای بوالفضول

Now hear the story of the Earth and what she is saying to enchant the disturber (of her peace).

بشنو اکنون ماجرای خاک را ** که چه می‌گوید فسون محراک را

With frowning (unsmiling) looks in the presence of Seraphiel, she is practising a hundred sorts of coquetry and blandishment, 1640

پیش اسرافیل‌گشته او عبوس ** می‌کند صد گونه شکل و چاپلوس

Saying, “By the truth of the holy essence of the Almighty, (I beseech thee), do not regard this violence to me as lawful!

که بحق ذات پاک ذوالجلال ** که مدار این قهر را بر من حلال

I have a presentiment of this change: suspicious thoughts are running in my head.

من ازین تقلیب بویی می‌برم ** بدگمانی می‌دود اندر سرم

Thou art the Angel of mercy: show mercy, for the humá will not harm any (common) bird.

تو فرشته‌ی رحمتی رحمت نما ** زانک مرغی را نیازارد هما

O (thou who art) healing and mercy to the sorrowful, do thou the same as those two benefactors did.”

ای شفا و رحمت اصحاب درد ** تو همان کن کان دو نیکوکار کرد

At once Seraphiel returned to the King: in God's presence he excused himself and told what had passed, 1645

زود اسرافیل باز آمد به شاه ** گفت عذر و ماجرا نزد اله

Saying, “Outwardly (formally) Thou gavest (me) the command to take (the clay), (but) Thou didst inspire my conscience to do the opposite of that.

کز برون فرمان بدادی که بگیر ** عکس آن الهام دادی در ضمیر

The command to take Thou didst address to my ear, the prohibition against hardheartedness Thou didst address to my understanding.

امر کردی در گرفتن سوی گوش ** نهی کردی از قساوت سوی هوش
