THE SHINING LAMP 196 تا به چشم غیر زندیقی نشد کس به چشم یار صدیقی نشد Nobody comes to be deemed truthful in the eyes of the Beloved, Until he is considered an infidel in the sight of those who are apart from Him. کافرم گفتند و دجال و لعین بهر قتلم هر لئیمی در کمین They call me kafir, dajjal, and accursed, And every ignoble one hid in ambush to kill me. از حسد بر جان خود بازی کنند بنگر این بازی کنان را چون جهند How they jump about watching these [circus or trick] performers, But these envious ones only put their own lives at risk. کار جان بازیست نزد هوشیار مومنی را کافری دادن قرار To call a believer a kāfir [disbeliever] Is a very dangerous matter in the sight of an intelligent person. واپس آید بر سر اهلش فتد زانکه تکفیری که از ناحق بود Because to brand someone a disbeliever unjustly Merely backfires upon the person spewing this himself. سفله ای کو غرق در کفر نهان هرزه نالد بهر کفر دیگران That fool who is himself immersed in concealed kufr, Simply stirs the absurd uproar upon the kufr of others. گر خبر زان کفر باطن داشتی خویشتن را بدتری انگاشتی Had he knowledge of his own [hidden] kufr, He would have thought the worst about himself.
