The Descent of the Messiah — Page 108
THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH کارهایی که کرد با من یار برتر آن دفتر است از اظهار The deeds that the beloved did with me; are greater than what can be expressed in writing. آنچہ داداست بر نبی را جام داد آن جام را مرا به تمام The cup that he had bestowed upon every prophet, that same cup has He given me in full measure. دل من برد و الفت خود داد خود مرا شد به وحی خود استاد He took away my heart and gave me his love, and He Himself became my mentor through revelation. روی آن مهر زان قمر دیدم وحی او را عجب اثر دیدم I saw a strange effect in His revelation, that is to say, the face of the sun appeared in the reflection of this moon. دیدم از خلق رنج و مکروهات و آن چه چیز است پیش این لذات I detached myself from the creation and saw the splendour of the friend, and one glory appeared after another. دیدم از هجر خلق جلوه یار کار دیگر برآمد از یک کار I saw the beloved's manifestation in the absence; another task emerged from a single. آنچه من بشنوم ز وحی خدا بخدا پاک دانمش از خطا Whatever I hear from God's revelation, I swear that I consider it free of error. 108
