شه چو عجز آن حکیمان را بدید پا برهنه جانب مسجد دوید 55
When the king saw the powerlessness of those physicians, he ran bare-footed to the mosque.

رفت در مسجد سوی محراب شد سجده گاه از اشک شه پر آب شد
He entered the mosque and advanced to the mihráb (to pray): the prayer-carpet was bathed in the king's tears.

چون به خویش آمد ز غرقاب فنا خوش زبان بگشاد در مدح و ثنا
On coming to himself out of the flood of ecstasy (faná) he loosed his tongue in goodly praise and laud,

کای کمینه بخششت ملک جهان من چه گویم چون تو می‌‌دانی نهان‌‌
Saying, “O Thou whose least gift is the empire of the world, what shall I say, in as much as Thou knowest the hidden thing?

ای همیشه حاجت ما را پناه بار دیگر ما غلط کردیم راه‌‌
O Thou with whom we always take refuge in our need, once again we have missed the way.

لیک گفتی گر چه می‌‌دانم سرت زود هم پیدا کنش بر ظاهرت‌‌ 60
But Thou hast said, ‘Albeit I know thy secret, nevertheless declare it forthwith in thine outward act.’”

چون بر آورد از میان جان خروش اندر آمد بحر بخشایش به جوش‌‌
When from the depths of his soul he raised a cry (of supplication), the sea of Bounty began to surge.

در میان گریه خوابش در ربود دید در خواب او که پیری رو نمود
Slumber overtook him in the midst of weeping: he dreamed that an old man appeared

گفت ای شه مژده حاجاتت رواست گر غریبی آیدت فردا ز ماست‌‌
And said, “Good tidings, O king! Thy prayers are granted. If to-morrow a stranger come for thee, he is from me.

چون که آید او حکیمی حاذق است صادقش دان که امین و صادق است‌‌
When he comes, he is a skilled physician: deem him veracious, for he is trusty and true.

در علاجش سحر مطلق را ببین در مزاجش قدرت حق را ببین‌‌ 65
In his remedy behold absolute magic, in his temperament behold the might of God!”

چون رسید آن وعده‌‌گاه و روز شد آفتاب از شرق، اختر سوز شد
When the promised hour arrived and day broke and the sun, (rising) from the east, began to burn the stars,

بود اندر منظره شه منتظر تا ببیند آن چه بنمودند سر
The king was in the belvedere, expecting to see that which had been shown mysteriously.

دید شخصی فاضلی پر مایه‌‌ای آفتابی در میان سایه‌‌ای‌‌
He saw a person excellent and worshipful, a sun amidst a shadow,

می‌‌رسید از دور مانند هلال نیست بود و هست بر شکل خیال‌‌
Coming from afar, like the new moon (in slenderness and radiance): he was nonexistent, though existent in the form of phantasy.

نیست وش باشد خیال اندر روان تو جهانی بر خیالی بین روان‌‌ 70
In the spirit phantasy is as naught, (yet) behold a world (turning) on a phantasy!

بر خیالی صلح‌‌شان و جنگشان وز خیالی فخرشان و ننگشان‌‌
Their peace and their war (turn) on a phantasy, and their pride and their shame spring from a phantasy;

آن خیالاتی که دام اولیاست عکس مه رویان بستان خداست‌‌
(But) those phantasies which ensnare the saints are the reflexion of the fair ones of the garden of God.

آن خیالی که شه اندر خواب دید در رخ مهمان همی‌‌آمد پدید
In the countenance of the stranger-guest was appearing that phantasy which the king beheld in his dream.

شه به جای حاجیان واپیش رفت پیش آن مهمان غیب خویش رفت‌‌
The king himself, instead of the chamberlains, went forward to meet his guest from the Invisible.

هر دو بحری آشنا آموخته هر دو جان بی‌‌دوختن بر دوخته‌‌ 75
Both were seamen who had learned to swim, the souls of both were knit together without sewing.

گفت معشوقم تو بوده ستی نه آن لیک کار از کار خیزد در جهان‌‌
The king said, “Thou wert my Beloved (in reality), not she; but in this world deed issues from deed.

Listen to this reed how it complains, telling a tale of separations


#book_1 #Masnavi #Rumi

بشنو این نی چون شکایت می‌‌کند از جدایی‌‌ها حکایت می‌‌کند
Listen to this reed how it complains, telling a tale of separations––

کز نیستان تا مرا ببریده‌‌اند در نفیرم مرد و زن نالیده‌‌اند
Saying, “Ever since I was parted from the reed-bed, man and woman have moaned in (unison with) my lament.

سینه خواهم شرحه شرحه از فراق تا بگویم شرح درد اشتیاق‌‌
I want a bosom torn by severance, that I may unfold (to such a one) the pain of love-desire.

هر کسی کاو دور ماند از اصل خویش باز جوید روزگار وصل خویش‌‌
Every one who is left far from his source wishes back the time when he was united with it.

من به هر جمعیتی نالان شدم جفت بد حالان و خوش حالان شدم‌‌ 5
In every company I uttered my wailful notes, I consorted with the unhappy and with them that rejoice.

هر کسی از ظن خود شد یار من از درون من نجست اسرار من‌‌
Every one became my friend from his own opinion; none sought out my secrets from within me.

سر من از ناله‌‌ی من دور نیست لیک چشم و گوش را آن نور نیست‌‌
My secret is not far from my plaint, but ear and eye lack the light (whereby it should be apprehended).

تن ز جان و جان ز تن مستور نیست لیک کس را دید جان دستور نیست‌‌
Body is not veiled from soul, nor soul from body, yet none is permitted to see the soul.

آتش است این بانگ نای و نیست باد هر که این آتش ندارد نیست باد
This noise of the reed is fire, it is not wind: whoso hath not this fire, may he be naught!

آتش عشق است کاندر نی فتاد جوشش عشق است کاندر می ‌‌فتاد 10
’Tis the fire of Love that is in the reed, ’tis the fervour of Love that is in the wine.

نی حریف هر که از یاری برید پرده‌‌هایش پرده‌‌های ما درید
The reed is the comrade of every one who has been parted from a friend: its strains pierced our hearts.

همچو نی زهری و تریاقی که دید همچو نی دمساز و مشتاقی که دید
Who ever saw a poison and antidote like the reed? Who ever saw a sympathiser and a longing lover like the reed?

نی حدیث راه پر خون می‌‌کند قصه‌‌های عشق مجنون می‌‌کند
The reed tells of the Way full of blood and recounts stories of the passion of Majnún.

محرم این هوش جز بی‌‌هوش نیست مر زبان را مشتری جز گوش نیست‌‌
Only to the senseless is this sense confided: the tongue hath no customer save the ear.

در غم ما روزها بی‌‌گاه شد روزها با سوزها همراه شد 15
In our woe the days (of life) have become untimely: our days travel hand in hand with burning griefs.

روزها گر رفت گو رو باک نیست تو بمان ای آن که چون تو پاک نیست‌‌
If our days are gone, let them go!—’tis no matter. Do Thou remain, for none is holy as Thou art!

هر که جز ماهی ز آبش سیر شد هر که بی‌‌روزی است روزش دیر شد
Except the fish, everyone becomes sated with water; whoever is without daily bread finds the day long.

درنیابد حال پخته هیچ خام پس سخن کوتاه باید و السلام‌‌
None that is raw understands the state of the ripe: therefore my words must be brief. Farewell!

بند بگسل، باش آزاد ای پسر چند باشی بند سیم و بند زر
O son, burst thy chains and be free! How long wilt thou be a bondsman to silver and gold?

گر بریزی بحر را در کوزه‌‌ای چند گنجد قسمت یک روزه‌‌ای‌‌ 20
If thou pour the sea into a pitcher, how much will it hold? One day's store.

کوزه‌‌ی چشم حریصان پر نشد تا صدف قانع نشد پر در نشد
The pitcher, the eye of the covetous, never becomes full: the oyster-shell is not filled with pearls until it is contented.

هر که را جامه ز عشقی چاک شد او ز حرص و عیب کلی پاک شد
He (alone) whose garment is rent by a (mighty) love is purged entirely of covetousness and defect.

شاد باش ای عشق خوش سودای ما ای طبیب جمله علتهای ما
Hail, our sweet-thoughted Love —thou that art the physician of all our ills,

ای دوای نخوت و ناموس ما ای تو افلاطون و جالینوس ما
The remedy of our pride and vainglory, our Plato and our Galen!

جسم خاک از عشق بر افلاک شد ** کوه در رقص آمد و چالاک شد 25
Through Love the earthly body soared to the skies: the mountain began to dance and became nimble.

هر که او از هم زبانی شد جدا بی‌‌زبان شد گر چه دارد صد نوا
(But) whoever is parted from one who speaks his language becomes dumb, though he have a hundred songs.

چون که گل رفت و گلستان در گذشت نشنوی ز ان پس ز بلبل سر گذشت‌‌
When the rose is gone and the garden faded, thou wilt hear no more the nightingale's story.

جمله معشوق است و عاشق پرده‌‌ای زنده معشوق است و عاشق مرده‌‌ای‌‌ 30
The Beloved is all and the lover (but) a veil; the Beloved is living and the lover a dead thing.

چون نباشد عشق را پروای او او چو مرغی ماند بی‌‌پر، وای او
When Love hath no care for him, he is left as a bird without wings. Alas for him then!

من چگونه هوش دارم پیش و پس چون نباشد نور یارم پیش و پس‌‌
How should I have consciousness (of aught) before or behind when the light of my Beloved is not before me and behind?

عشق خواهد کاین سخن بیرون بود آینه غماز نبود چون بود
Love wills that this Word should be shown forth: if the mirror does not reflect, how is that?

آینه‌‌ت دانی چرا غماز نیست ** ز انکه زنگار از رخش ممتاز نیست‌‌
Dost thou know why the mirror (of thy soul) reflects nothing? Because the rust is not cleared from its face.
