Ghazal No. 331: From that king who has no desire for drum and banner

غزل شماره ۳۳۱: زان شاه که او را هوس طبل و علم نیست

For that king who has no desire for drums and banners

I have become mad, there is no blame on the madman

زان شاه که او را هوس طبل و علم نیست

دیوانه شدم بر سر دیوانه قلم نیست

From afar you see me as a walking person

That person is an illusion, but it is not other than nothingness

از دور ببینی تو مرا شخص رونده

آن شخص خیالست ولی غیر عدم نیست

Come forward and become nothing, for nothingness is the mine of the soul

But not such a soul that is nothing but grief and sorrow

پیش آ و عدم شو که عدم معدن جانست

اما نه چنین جان که به جز غصه و غم نیست

I without me and you without you, let us enter this stream

Because in this dryness there is nothing but oppression and tyranny

من بی‌من و تو بی‌تو درآییم در این جو

زیرا که در این خشک به جز ظلم و ستم نیست

This stream drowns, but does not kill a man

For it is the water of life, and there is nothing but grace and generosity

این جوی کند غرقه ولیکن نکشد مرد

کو آب حیاتست و به جز لطف و کرم نیست
