218 THE SHINING LAMP از فنای ما پدید آمد بقا ترک خود کردیم بهر آن خدا When we gave up our ego for that God, Then, as a result of our annihilation, we gained life. جان بخواهد دادنش دشوار نیست اندرین ره دردسر بسیار نیست This path does not entail much difficulty, He only asks for life, and that is not hard to give. صد فضولی کردم بیسود بود گر نه او خواندی مرا از فضل و جود If He had not called me by His Grace and Blessing, Then, however much I would have tried, it would all have been in vain. قصه های راه ما کوتاه کرد از نگاهی این گدا را شاه کرد He turned this beggar into a king with a single glance, And shortened my long journey into a short one. دانمش زانسان که گل را باغبان راه خود بر من کشود آن دلستان That Beloved Himself opened His way for me, I know this just as a gardener knows his flowers. هر که در عهدم ز من ماند جدا میکند بر نفس خود جور و جفا Whosoever remains distant from me during this, my era, Is only being cruel to himself.
