The Descent of the Messiah — Page 146
THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH عمر ما هم رسید تا به کنار به کنارم درآیی ای دلدار My life is coming to an end; O, beloved, come onto my lap. ای که تو طالب خدا هستی آن یقین جو که بخشدت مستی O, you who seek God, search for such certainty as will fill you with zeal. آن یقین جو که سیل تو گردد همه در یار میل تو گردد Find the certainty that becomes the flood, and all your love then belongs to God. آن یقین جو که آتش افروزد هر چه غیر خدا همه سوزد Find the certainty that ignites a fire that burns everything other than God. از یقین ست زهد و عرفان هم گفتمت آشکار و پنهان هم It is through certainty that piety and knowledge are attained; I have made this clear to you openly and secretly. جز یقین دین تو چو مرداری سر پر از کبر و دل ریاکاری Without certainty, one's heart is lifeless, the mind is clouded with arrogance, and the soul is immersed in sin. بی یقین نفس گردد چو سگی جنبدش نزد هر فساد رگی Without certainty, one is like a restless mutt, quick to react to any hint of mischief. 146
