873-897

  • Do not call such fragments of heart as these “the Heart”: do not seek an Abú Bakr in Sabzawár!
  • این چنین دل ریزه‌ها را دل مگو  ** سبزوار اندر ابوبکری بجو 

  • The owner of the Heart becomes a six-faced mirror: through him God looks upon (all) the six directions.
  • صاحب دل آینه‌ی شش‌رو شود  ** حق ازو در شش جهت ناظر بود 

  • Whosoever hath his dwelling-place in (the world of) six directions God doth not look upon him except through the mediation of him (the owner of the Heart). 875
  • هر که اندر شش جهت دارد مقر  ** نکندش بی‌واسطه‌ی او حق نظر 

  • If He (God) reject (any one), He does it for his sake; and if He accept (any one), he likewise is the authority.
  • گر کند رد از برای او کند  ** ور قبول آرد همو باشد سند 

  • Without him God does not bestow bounty on any one. I have told (only) one sample of (the sublimity of) the possessor of union (with God).
  • بی‌ازو ندهد کسی را حق نوال  ** شمه‌ای گفتم من از صاحب‌وصال 

  • He (God) lays His gift on the palm of his hand, and from his palm dispenses it to those who are the objects of His mercy.
  • موهبت را بر کف دستش نهد  ** وز کفش آن را به مرحومان دهد 

  • The unitedness of the Universal Sea (of Bounty) with his palm is unqualified and unconditional and perfect.
  • با کفش دریای کل را اتصال  ** هست بی‌چون و چگونه و بر کمال 

  • A unitedness that is not containable in words—to speak of it were a vain task, so farewell. 880
  • اتصالی که نگنجد در کلام  ** گفتنش تکلیف باشد والسلام 

  • O rich man, (if) thou bring a hundred sacks of gold, God will say, “Bring the Heart, O thou that art bent (in devotion).
  • صد جوال زر بیاری ای غنی  ** حق بگوید دل بیار ای منحنی 

  • If the Heart be pleased with thee, I am pleased; and if it be averse to thee, I am averse.
  • گر ز تو راضیست دل من راضیم  ** ور ز تو معرض بود اعراضیم 

  • I do not regard thee, I regard that Heart: bring it, O soul, as a gift to My door!
  • ننگرم در تو در آن دل بنگرم  ** تحفه او را آر ای جان بر درم 

  • According as it is in relation to thee, so am I: Paradise is under the feet of mothers.”
  • با تو او چونست هستم من چنان  ** زیر پای مادران باشد جنان 

  • It (the Heart) is the mother and father and origin of (all) the creatures: oh, blest is that one who knows the Heart from the skin. 885
  • مادر و بابا و اصل خلق اوست  ** ای خنک آنکس که داند دل ز پوست 

  • Thou wilt say, “Lo, I have brought unto Thee a heart”: He (God) will say to thee, “Qutú is full of these hearts.
  • تو بگویی نک دل آوردم به تو  ** گویدت پرست ازین دلها قتو 

  • Bring the Heart that is the Qutb (Pole) of the world and the soul of the soul of the soul of the soul of Adam.”
  • آن دلی آور که قطب عالم اوست  ** جان جان جان جان آدم اوست 

  • The Sultan of (all) hearts is waiting expectantly for that Heart full of light and goodness.
  • از برای آن دل پر نور و بر  ** هست آن سلطان دلها منتظر 

  • Thou mayst wander (many) days in Sabzawár, (but) thou wilt not find (there) a Heart like that by (the most) careful observation.
  • تو بگردی روزها در سبزوار  ** آنچنان دل را نیابی ز اعتبار 

  • Then thou wilt lay upon a bier the corrupt heart, whose soul is rotten, to carry (it) Yonder, 890
  • پس دل پژمرده‌ی پوسیده‌جان  ** بر سر تخته نهی آن سو کشان 

  • And say, “I bring Thee a heart, O King: there is no better heart than this in Sabzawár.”
  • که دل آوردم ترا ای شهریار  ** به ازین دل نبود اندر سبزوار 

  • He (God) will answer thee, saying, “O audacious man, is this a graveyard that thou shouldst bring a dead heart hither?
  • گویدت این گورخانه‌ست ای جری  ** که دل مرده بدینجا آوری 

  • Go, bring the Heart that is kingly, from which is (derived) the security of the Sabzawár of (mundane) existence.”
  • رو بیاور آن دلی کو شاه‌خوست  ** که امان سبزوار کون ازوست 

  • You may say that that Heart is hidden from this world, because darkness and light are opposites.
  • گویی آن دل زین جهان پنهان بود  ** زانک ظلمت با ضیا ضدان بود 

  • From the Day of Alast there is an hereditary enmity of that Heart to the Sabzawár of the carnal nature; 895
  • دشمنی آن دل از روز الست  ** سبزوار طبع را میراثی است 

  • For it is a falcon, while this world is the city of the crow: the sight of one who is uncongenial inflicts pain upon him who is not his congener;
  • زانک او بازست و دنیا شهر زاغ  ** دیدن ناجنس بر ناجنس داغ 

  • And if he (the worldling) behave with mildness (complaisance), he is acting hypocritically: he is seeking an advantage for himself by conciliating (the owner of the Heart).
  • ور کند نرمی نفاقی می‌کند  ** ز استمالت ارتفاقی می‌کند
