2421-2445

  • This topic is infinite. At that time the three companions looked on one another friendlily,
  • این سخن پایان ندارد هر سه یار  ** رو به هم کردند آن دم یاروار 

  • And one (of them) said, “Let each (of us) relate what he dreamed last night.
  • آن یکی گفتا که هر یک خواب خویش  ** آنچ دید او دوش گو آور به پیش 

  • Let him who had the best dream eat this (sweetmeat): let the most excellent carry off the share of every one that is excelled (by him).”
  • هرکه خوابش بهتر این را او خورد  ** قسم هر مفضول را افضل برد 

  • He who mounts highest in (the scale of) reason—his eating is (equivalent to) the eating of all (his inferiors).
  • آنک اندر عقل بالاتر رود  ** خوردن او خوردن جمله بود 

  • His luminous spirit is supreme: ’tis enough for the rest of them to tend (cherish) him. 2425
  • فوق آمد جان پر انوار او  ** باقیان را بس بود تیمار او 

  • Since those endowed with (perfect) reason endure for ever, in reality this world is enduring for ever.
  • عاقلان را چون بقا آمد ابد  ** پس به معنی این جهان باقی بود 

  • Then the Jew related his dream (and told them) whither his spirit had wandered during the night.
  • پس جهود آورد آنچ دیده بود  ** تا کجا شب روح او گردیده بود 

  • He said, “Moses met me on the way, (according to the adage) ‘the cat sees a fat sheep's tail in her dreams.’
  • گفت در ره موسی‌ام آمد به پیش  ** گربه بیند دنبه اندر خواب خویش 

  • I followed Moses to Mt Sinai: in the Light (of the Divine Epiphany) all three of us vanished.
  • در پی موسی شدم تا کوه طور  ** هر سه‌مان گشتیم ناپیدا ز نور 

  • All (our) three shadows disappeared in the Sun; after that, there came from the Light an opening of the door (revelation). 2430
  • هر سه سایه محو شد زان آفتاب  ** بعد از آن زان نور شد یک فتح باب 

  • From the heart of that Light another Light sprang up, and then the second (Light) quickly sought to transcend it.
  • نور دیگر از دل آن نور رست  ** پس ترقی جست آن ثانیش چست 

  • Both I and Moses and also Mt Sinai, we were lost, all three, in that effulgence of the (second) Light.
  • هم من و هم موسی و هم کوه طور  ** هر سه گم گشتیم زان اشراق نور 

  • After that, I saw the mountain break into three pieces when the Light of God surged upon it.
  • بعد از آن دیدم که که سه شاخ شد  ** چونک نور حق درو نفاخ شد 

  • When the Attribute of Majesty was revealed to it, it burst asunder in every direction.
  • وصف هیبت چون تجلی زد برو  ** می‌سکست از هم همی‌شد سو به سو 

  • One piece of the mountain fell towards the sea, and the water bitter as poison was made sweet. 2435
  • آن یکی شاخ که آمد سوی یم  ** گشت شیرین آب تلخ هم‌چو سم 

  • One piece thereof sank into the earth, and a medicinal spring of running water gushed forth,
  • آن یکی شاخش فرو شد در زمین  ** چشمه‌ی دارو برون آمد معین 

  • So that its water became a cure for all the sick by the blessedness of the goodly revelation.
  • که شفای جمله رنجوران شد آب  ** از همایونی وحی مستطاب 

  • The other (third) piece flew at once to the neighbourhood of the Ka‘ba where ‘Arafát was (situated).
  • آن یکی شاخ دگر پرید زود  ** تا جوار کعبه که عرفات بود 

  • When I came back to myself out of that swoon, Sinai was in its place, neither greater nor less (than before);
  • باز از آن صعقه چو با خود آمدم  ** طور بر جا بد نه افزون و نه کم 

  • But under the foot of Moses it was (inwardly) melting like ice: no spur or peak of it remained. 2440
  • لیک زیر پای موسی هم‌چو یخ  ** می‌گدازید او نماندش شاخ و شخ 

  • The mountain was levelled to the earth by terror: it was turned upside down by that awful Majesty.
  • با زمین هموار شد که از نهیب  ** گشت بالایش از آن هیبت نشیب 

  • After that scattering (of my senses) I came to myself again and saw that Sinai and Moses were unchanged,
  • باز با خود آمدم زان انتشار  ** باز دیدم طور و موسی برقرار 

  • And that the desert skirting the mountain was filled from end to end with people resembling Moses in (the illumination of) their faces.
  • وآن بیابان سر به سر در ذیل کوه  ** پر خلایق شکل موسی در وجوه 

  • Their (staves and) mantles were like his staff and mantle: all (of them) were speeding joyously towards Sinai.
  • چون عصا و خرقه‌ی او خرقه‌شان  ** جمله سوی طور خوش دامن کشان 

  • All had lifted their hands in prayer and struck up together the tune of let me see (Thee). 2445
  • جمله کفها در دعا افراخته  ** نغمه‌ی ارنی به هم در ساخته
