tafsīr-e-va-huva ma'kum ainamā kuntum

Commentary on “And He is with you wheresoever ye be.”

bār-e-dīgar mā ba-qissa āmadem

mā azaañ qissa barūñ ḳhud ke shudem

Once more we come back to the tale:

when, indeed, did we go forth from the tale?

gar ba-jahl aa.em aañ zindān-e-ūst

var ba-’ilm aa.em aañ aivān-e-ūst

If we come to ignorance, that is His prison,

and if we come to knowledge, that is His palace;

var ba-ḳhvāb aa.em mastān-e-vai-em

var ba-bedārī ba-dastān-e-vai-em

And if we come to sleep, we are His intoxicated ones;

and if to wakefulness, we are in His hands;

var ba-garī.em abr-e-pur zarq vai-em

var ba-kHandem aañ zamāñ barq vai-em

And if we weep, we are His cloud shedding rain-drops abundantly;

and if we laugh, at that time we are His lightning;

var bakHsham-o-jañg ’aks-e-qahr-e-ūst

var ba-sulh-o-'uzr ’aks-e-mehr-e-ūst

And if (we come) to wrath and war, ’tis the reflexion of His Might;

and if to peace and forgiveness, ’tis the reflexion of His Love.

mā kiyam andar jahn-e-pech-pech

chuuñ alif-e-ū ḳhud che dārad hech-hech

Who are we? In this tangled (complex) world what (thing other than He)

indeed hath He (who is single) like alif? Nothing, nothing.

bar-e-digar ma ba-qissa aamadem

ma azan qissa barun KHud ke shudem

Once more we come back to the tale:

when, indeed, did we go forth from the tale?

gar ba-jahl aaem aan zindan-e-ust

war ba-’ilm aaem aan aiwan-e-ust

If we come to ignorance, that is His prison,

and if we come to knowledge, that is His palace;

war ba-KHwab aaem mastan-e-wai-em

war ba-bedari ba-dastan-e-wai-em

And if we come to sleep, we are His intoxicated ones;

and if to wakefulness, we are in His hands;

war ba-kHandem aan zaman barq wai-em

war ba-sulh-o-'uzr ’aks-e-mehr-e-ust

And if (we come) to wrath and war, ’tis the reflexion of His Might;

and if to peace and forgiveness, ’tis the reflexion of His Love.

ma kiyam andar jahn-e-pech-pech

chun alif-e-u KHud che darad hech-hech

indeed hath He (who is single) like alif? Nothing, nothing.
