Toggle stanza 1ما از خدای گم شدهایم او به جستجوست
ما از خدای گم شدهایم او به جستجوست
چون ما نیازمند و گرفتار آرزوست
We are gone astray from God; he is searching upon the road, for like us, He is need entire and the prisoner of desire.
گاهی به برگ لاله نویسد پیام خویش
گاهی درون سینه مرغان به های و هوست
On the tulip’s petal He writes the message His heart indites, yea, and His voice is heard in the passionate song of the bird.
در نرگس آرمید که بیند جمال ما
چندان کرشمه دان که نگاهش به گفتگوست
He lay in the iris’ fold our loveliness to behold; bright cup of the ardent gaze whose glance is a hymn of praise!
آهی سحر گهی که زند در فراق ما
بیرون و اندرون زبر و زیر و چار سوست
Parted from us, forlorn He sighs with the breath of morn, within and out He doth stand, around, and on every hand.
هنگامه بست از پی دیدار خاکئی
نظاره را بهانه تماشای رنگ و بوست
Great riot created He a creature of clay to see, fashioned the piercing view to gaze upon mortal hue.
پنهان به ذره ذره و ناآشنا هنوز
پیدا چو ماهتاب و به آغوش کاخ و کوست
Hidden in every grain not yet is He known to man, though bright as the full moon’s grace in cottage and street is His face.
در خاکدان ما گهر زندگی گم است
این گوهری که گم شده مائیم یا که اوست
In our envelope all of dust the jewel of life is lost; is it we, or Himself (O say), this pearl that is gone astray?
Zameen
