On the Frailty of Creatures and the Grandeur of God. (may his name be glorified!) گفتار در معنی فنای موجودات در معرض وجود باری
Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| The pathway to wisdom is twist upon twist; For the holy, the Maker alone can exist. You can tell this to people who truths recognize; But people of theory will criticize; | ره عقل جز پیچ بر پیچ نیست بر عارفان جز خدا هیچ نیست توان گفتن این با حقایق شناس ولی خرده گیرند اهل قیاس |
| Saying, “What is the sky and the earth, do you say? Who are men? what are game and the wild beasts of prey”? Oh intelligent man! Your inquiry is well; If the answer is pleasing to you, I wall tell. | که پس آسمان و زمین چیستند؟ بنی آدم و دام ودد کیستند؟ پسندیده پرسیدی ای هوشمند بگویم گر آید جوابت پسند |
| The desert and ocean, the hills and the sky; The fairies, mankind, fiends, and angels on high; All things that exist, for this reason are less, That only through Him they existence possess. | نه هامون و دریا و کوه و فلک پری و آدمیزاد و دیو و ملک همه هرچه هستند ازان کمترند که با هستیش نام هستی برند |
| The sea in a storm is sublime in your eye; And lofty’s the vault. of the rotating sky. But when will mere surface observers obtain A glimpse of where spiritual persons remain? | عظیم است پیش تو دریا به موج بلندست خورشید تابان به اوج ولی اهل صورت کجا پی برند که ارباب معنی به ملکی درند |
| For if it’s the sun, not a speck they descry; If the whole seven seas, not a drop can they spy. | که گر آفتاب است یک ذره نیست وگر هفت دریاست یک قطره نیست |
| When the Sultan of Glory His flag has unfurl’d, Into Nullity’s collar collapses the world! | چو سلطان عزت علم بر کشد جهان سر به جیب عدم درکشد |
