4530-4554

  • All-encompassing is the Throne of Him who is throned in grandeur: over all souls is spread the Throne of His justice. 4530
  • آن عظیم العرش عرش او محیط  ** تخت دادش بر همه جانها بسیط 

  • A corner of His throne is touching you: beware, do not move a hand to act impiously or unjustly.
  • گوشه‌ی عرشش به تو پیوسته است  ** هین مجنبان جز بدین و داد دست 

  • Keep a careful watch over your own behaviour: observe that the honey is (contained) in justice and that after injustice comes the sting.”
  • تو مراقب باش بر احوال خویش  ** نوش بین در داد و بعد از ظلم نیش 

  • He (Júhí) said, “Yes, what I did is wrong, but at the same time (you must) know (the proverb) that the aggressor is the more unjust (of the two).”
  • گفت آری اینچ کردم استم است  ** لیک هم می‌دان که بادی اظلم است 

  • The deputy replied, “We are aggressors, every one of us, but notwithstanding our blackness of face we are happy,
  • گفت نایب یک به یک ما بادییم  ** با سواد وجه اندر شادییم 

  • Like the negro who is happy and pleased, (for) he does not see his face, (though) others see it.” 4535
  • هم‌چو زنگی کو بود شادان و خوش  ** او نبیند غیر او بیند رخش 

  • The altercation in bidding (for the chest) was prolonged: (finally) he paid a hundred dinars and bought it from him.
  • ماجرا بسیار شد در من یزید  ** داد صد دینار و آن از وی خرید 

  • O thou that findest wickedness agreeable, thou art always in the chest: the hátifs (voices from Heaven) and those who belong to the Unseen are redeeming thee.
  • هر دمی صندوقیی ای بدپسند  ** هاتفان و غیبیانت می‌خرند 

  • Expounding the Tradition that Mustafá (Mohammed) said, the blessings of God be upon him: “When I am the protector of any one, ‘Alí too is his protector,” so that the Hypocrites asked sarcastically, “Was not he satisfied with the obedience and service rendered by us to himself that he bids us render the same service to a snivelling child?” etc.
  • در تفسیر این خبر کی مصطفی صلوات‌الله علیه فرمود من کنت مولاه فعلی مولاه تا منافقان طعنه زدند کی بس نبودش کی ما مطیعی و چاکری نمودیم او را چاکری کودکی خلم آلودمان هم می‌فرماید الی آخره 

  • For this reason the Prophet, who laboured with the utmost zeal (in devotion), applied the name “protector” (mawlá) to himself and to ‘Alí.
  • زین سبب پیغامبر با اجتهاد  ** نام خود وان علی مولا نهاد 

  • He said, “My cousin ‘Alí is the protector and friend of every one who is under my protection.”
  • گفت هر کو را منم مولا و دوست  ** ابن عم من علی مولای اوست 

  • Who is the “protector”? He that sets you free and removes the fetters of servitude from your feet. 4540
  • کیست مولا آنک آزادت کند  ** بند رقیت ز پایت بر کند 

  • Since prophethood is the guide to freedom, freedom is bestowed on true believers by the prophets.
  • چون به آزادی نبوت هادیست  ** مومنان را ز انبیا آزادیست 

  • Rejoice, O community of true believers: show yourselves to be “free” (pure and noble) as the cypress and the lily;
  • ای گروه مومنان شادی کنید  ** هم‌چو سرو و سوسن آزادی کنید 

  • But do ye, like the gay-coloured garden, at every moment give unspoken thanks to the Water.
  • لیک می‌گویید هر دم شکر آب  ** بی‌زبان چون گلستان خوش‌خضاب 

  • The cypresses and the green orchard mutely thank the water (that nourishes them) and show (silent) gratitude for the justice of Spring:
  • بی‌زبان گویند سرو و سبزه‌زار  ** شکر آب و شکر عدل نوبهار 

  • Clad in (fresh) robes and trailing their skirts, drunken and dancing and jubilant and scattering perfume; 4545
  • حله‌ها پوشیده و دامن‌کشان  ** مست و رقاص و خوش و عنبرفشان 

  • Every part (of them) impregnated by royal Spring, their bodies as caskets filled with pearly fruit;
  • جزو جزو آبستن از شاه بهار  ** جسمشان چون درج پر در ثمار 

  • (Like) Maries, having no husband, yet big with a Messiah; silent ones, wordless and devoid of articulate expression,
  • مریمان بی شوی آبست از مسیح  ** خامشان بی لاف و گفتاری فصیح 

  • (Saying implicitly), “Our Moon hath shone brightly (upon us) without speech: every tongue hath derived its speech from our beauty.”
  • ماه ما بی‌نطق خوش بر تافتست  ** هر زبان نطق از فر ما یافتست 

  • The speech of Jesus is (derived) from the (spiritual) beauty of Mary; the speech of Adam is a ray (reflexion) of the (Divine) Breath.
  • نطق عیسی از فر مریم بود  ** نطق آدم پرتو آن دم بود 

  • (This thanksgiving of the orchard is a lesson to you) in order that from (your) thanksgiving, O men of trust, increase (of spiritual glory) may accrue; (and if ye give thanks) then other plants are (springing up) amidst the herbage. 4550
  • تا زیادت گردد از شکر ای ثقات  ** پس نبات دیگرست اندر نبات 

  • Here the reverse (of the well-known Tradition) is (applicable), (for) he that is content (with a modicum of thanksgiving) shall be abased; (and similarly), in this case, he that covets (excess of thanksgiving) shall be exalted.
  • عکس آن اینجاست ذل من قنع  ** اندرین طورست عز من طمع 

  • Do not go so much into the sack of thy fleshly soul, do not be (so) forgetful of thy purchasers (redeemers).
  • در جوال نفس خود چندین مرو  ** از خریداران خود غافل مشو 

  • How next year Júhí's wife returned to the court of the cadi, hoping for the same contribution (of money) as last year, and how the cadi recognised her, and so on to the end of the story.
  • باز آمدن زن جوحی به محکمه‌ی قاضی سال دوم بر امید وظیفه‌ی پارسال و شناختن قاضی او را الی اتمامه 

  • After a year Júhí, in consequence of the afflictions (of poverty), turned to his wife and said, “O clever wife,
  • بعد سالی باز جوحی از محن  ** رو به زن کرد و بگفت ای چست زن 

  • Renew last year's contribution (to our household): complain of me to the cadi.”
  • آن وظیفه‌ی پار را تجدید کن  ** پیش قاضی از گله‌ی من گو سخن
