محاورۂ علم و عشق

نگاہم راز دار ہفت و چار استگرفتار کمندم روزگار استجہان بینم بہ این سو باز کردندمرا با آنسوی گردون چہ کار استچکد صد نغمہ از سازی کہ دارمبہ بازار افکنم رازی کہ دارم

My eyes have witnessed the secrets of the seven and the four, and with my lasso I have captured the world.
I am an eye, and when I was opened I turned this way: Why should I bother about the other side of the heavens?
A hundred songs flow from my instrument; I bring to market every secret I know.

ز افسون تو دریا شعلہ زار استہوا آتش گذار و زھر دار استچو با من یار بودے نور بودیبریدے از من و نور تو نار است

Because of the spell you have cast the sea is in flames, the air spews fire and is filled with poison.
When you and I were friends, you were a light; but you broke with me, and your light became a fire.

بخلوت خانۂ لاہوت زادیولیکن در نخ شیطان فتادی

You were born in the innermost sanctum of the Divinity, but then fell into Satan’s trap.

بیا این خاکدان را گلستان سازجہان پیر را دیگر جوان سازبیا یک ذرہ از درد دلم گیرتہ گردون بہشت جاودان ساز

Come; turn this earthly world into a garden, and make the old world young again.
Come! Take just a little of my heart’s solicitude, and build, under the heavens, an everlasting paradise.

ز روز آفرینش ھمدم استیمھمان یک نغمہ را زیر و بم استیم

We have been on intimate terms since the day of creation, and are the high and low notes of the same song.
