1	ذکر الاسرار فی معارج الاسفار لمن یرید ان یسافر الی اللّه المقتدر الغفّار بسم اللّه الرّحمن الرّحیم الحمد للّه الّذی اظهر الوجود من العدم و رقم علی لوح الانسان من اسرار القدم و علّمه من البیان ما لا یعلم و جعله کتاباً مبیناً لمن آمن و استسلم و اشهده خلق کلّ شیئ فی هذا الزّمان المظلم الصّیلم و انطقه فی قطب البقآء علی اللّحن البدیع فی الهیکل المکرّم لیشهد الکلّ فی نفسه بنفسه فی مقام تجلّی ربّه بانّه لا اله الّا هو و لیصل الکلّ بذلک الی ذروة الحقایق حتّی لا یشاهد احد شیئاً الّا و قد یری اللّه فیه ای رؤیة تجلّیه المودعة فی حقایق الاشیآء والّا انّه تعالی منزّه من ان یشهد او یری لا تدرکه الابصار و هو یدرک الابصار و هو اللّطیف الخبیر (edit)	In the Name of God, the Clement, the Merciful. Praise be to God Who hath made being to come forth from nothingness; graven upon the tablet of man the secrets of preexistence; taught him from the mysteries of divine utterance that which he knew not; made him a Luminous Book unto those who believed and surrendered themselves; caused him to witness the creation of all things (Kullu Shay') in this black and ruinous age, and to speak forth from the apex of eternity with a wondrous voice in the Excellent Temple [1]: to the end that every man may testify, in himself, by himself, in the station of the Manifestation of his Lord, that verily there is no God save Him, and that every man may thereby win his way to the <p2> summit of realities, until none shall contemplate anything whatsoever but that he shall see God therein. (edit)	Mention of the secrets in the ascents of journeys for those who want to travel to Allah, the Almighty, the All-Forgiving. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, who brought existence out of nothingness and inscribed the secrets of eternity on the tablet of man, and taught him the language of that which he knew not, and made it a clear book for those who believe and submit. He made him bear witness to the creation of everything in this dark, murky time, and made him speak on the pole of permanence in the unique melody in the honored temple, so that everyone may bear witness in himself, by himself, in the presence of the manifestation of his Lord that there is no god but Him. And thus, everyone may reach the pinnacle of truths, so that no one sees anything but that they see Allah in it - the vision of His manifestation deposited in the realities of things. Yet, exalted is He, far above being seen or perceived; no vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision, and He is the Most Subtle, the Most Acquainted. (edit)
2	و اصلّی و اسلّم علی اوّل بحر تشعّب من بحر الهویّة و اوّل صبح لاح عن افق الاحدیّة و اوّل شمس اشرقت فی سمآء الازلیّة و اوّل نار اوقدت من مصباح القدمیّة فی مشکوة الواحدیّة الّذی کان احمد فی ملکوت العالین و محمّداً فی ملأ المقرّبین و محموداً فی جبروت المخلصین و ایّاً ما تدعو فله الاسمآء فی قلوب العارفین و علی آله و صحبه تسلیماً کثیراً دائماً ابداً (edit)	And I praise and glorify the first sea which hath branched from the ocean of the Divine Essence, and the first morn which hath glowed from the Horizon of Oneness, and the first sun which hath risen in the Heaven of Eternity, and the first fire which was lit from the Lamp of Preexistence in the lantern of singleness: He who was Ahmad in the kingdom of the exalted ones, and Muhammad amongst the concourse of the near ones, and Mahmud [1] in the realm of the sincere ones. "...by whichsoever (name) ye will, invoke Him: He hath most excellent names" [2] in the hearts of those who know. And upon His household and companions be abundant and abiding and eternal peace!

3	و بعد قد سمعت ما غنّت ورقآء العرفان علی افنان سدرة فؤادک و عرفت ما غرّدت حمامة الایقان علی اغصان شجرة قلبک کانّی وجدت رایحة الطّیب عن قمیص حبّک و ادرکت تمام لقآئک فی ملاحظة کتابک و لمّا بلغت اشاراتک فی فنآئک فی اللّه و بقآئک به و حبّک احبّآء اللّه و مظاهر اسمآئه و مطالع صفاته لذا اذکر لک اشارات قدسیّة شعشعانیّة من مراتب الجلال لتجذبک الی ساحة القدس و القرب و الجمال و توصلک الی مقام لا تری فی الوجود الّا طلعة حضرة محبوبک و لن تری الخلق الّا کیوم لم یکن احد مذکوراً (edit)	Further, we have harkened to what the nightingale of knowledge sang on the boughs of the tree of thy being, and learned what the dove of certitude cried on the branches of the bower of thy heart. Methinks I verily inhaled the pure fragrances of the garment of thy love, and " <p3> attained thy very meeting from perusing thy letter. And since I noted thy mention of thy death in God, and thy life through Him, and thy love for the beloved of God and the Manifestations of His Names and the Dawning-Points of His Attributes -- I therefore reveal unto thee sacred and resplendent tokens from the planes of glory, to attract thee into the court of holiness and nearness and beauty, and draw thee to a station wherein thou shalt see nothing in creation save the Face of thy Beloved One, the Honored, and behold all created things only as in the day wherein none hath a mention.

4	و هی ما غنّ بلبل الاحدیّة فی الرّیاض الغوثیّة قوله و تظهر علی لوح قلبک رقوم لطایف اسرار اتّقوا اللّه یعلّمکم اللّه و یتذکّر طایر روحک حظایر القدم و یطیر فی فضآء فاسلکی سبل ربّک ذللاً بجناح الشّوق و تجتنی من اثمار الانس فی بساتین کلی من کلّ الثّمرات انتهی (edit)	Of this hath the nightingale of oneness sung in the garden of Ghawthiyyih.[1] He saith: "And there shall appear upon the tablet of thine heart a writing of the subtle mysteries of 'Fear God and God will give you knowledge'; [2] and the bird of thy soul shall recall the holy sanctuaries of preexistence and soar on the wings of longing in the heaven of 'walk the beaten paths of thy Lord', [3] and gather the fruits of communion in the gardens of 'Then feed on every kind of fruit.'"

5	وعمری یا حبیب لو تذوق هذه الثّمرات من خضر هذه السّنبلات الّتی نبتت فی اراضی المعرفة عند تجلّی انوار الذّات فی مرایا الاسمآء و الصّفات لیأخذ الشّوق زمام الصّبر و الاصطبار عن کفّک و یهتزّ روحک من بوارق الانوار و تجذبک من الوطن التّرابی الی الوطن الاصلیّ الالهی فی قطب المعانی و تصعدک الی مقام تطیر فی الهوآء کما تمشی علی التّراب و ترکض علی المآء کما ترکض علی الارض فهنیئاً لی و لک و لمن سما الی سمآء العرفان و صبا قلبه بما هبّ علی ریاض سرّه صبا الایقان من سبأ الرّحمن و السّلام علی من اتّبع الهدی (edit)	By My life, O friend, wert thou to taste of these fruits, from the green garden of these <p4> blossoms which grow in the lands of knowledge, beside the orient lights of the Essence in the mirrors of names and attributes -- yearning would seize the reins of patience and reserve from out thy hand, and make thy soul to shake with the flashing light, and draw thee from the earthly homeland to the first, heavenly abode in the Center of Realities, and lift thee to a plane wherein thou wouldst soar in the air even as thou walkest upon the earth, and move over the water as thou runnest on the land. Wherefore, may it rejoice Me, and thee, and whosoever mounteth into the heaven of knowledge, and whose heart is refreshed by this, that the wind of certitude hath blown over the garden of his being, from the Sheba of the All-Merciful. Peace be upon him who followeth the Right Path! (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
6	و بعد مراتب سیر سالکان را از مسکن خاکی بوطن الهی هفت رتبه معیّن نموده‌اند چنانچه بعضی هفت وادی و بعضی هفت شهر ذکر کرده‌اند و گفته‌اند که سالک تا از نفس هجرت ننماید و این اسفار را طیّ نکند ببحر قرب و وصال وارد نشود و از خمر بی‌مثال نچشد (edit)	And further: The stages that mark the wayfarer's journey from the abode of dust to the heavenly homeland are said to be seven. Some have called these Seven Valleys, and others, Seven Cities. And they say that until the wayfarer taketh leave of self, and traverseth these stages, he shall never reach to the ocean of nearness and union, nor drink of the peerless wine.

7	اوّل وادی طلب است مرکب این وادی صبر است که مسافر در این سفر بی صبر بجائی نرسد و بمقصود واصل نشود و باید هرگز افسرده نگردد اگر صد هزار سال سعی کند و جمال دوست نه‌ بیند پژمرده نشود زیرا مجاهدین کعبۀ فینا ببشارت لنهدینّهم سبلنا مسرورند و کمر خدمت در طلب بغایت محکم بسته‌اند و در هر آن از مکان غفلت بامکان طلب سفر کنند هیچ بندی ایشان را منع ننماید و هیچ پندی صدّ نکند (edit)	The first is <p5> THE VALLEY OF SEARCH. The steed of this Valley is patience; without patience the wayfarer on this journey will reach nowhere and attain no goal. Nor should he ever be downhearted; if he strive for a hundred thousand years and yet fail to behold the beauty of the Friend, he should not falter. For those who seek the Ka'bih [1] of "for Us" rejoice in the tidings: "In Our ways will We guide them." [2] In their search, they have stoutly girded up the loins of service, and seek at every moment to journey from the plane of heedlessness into the realm of being. No bond shall hold them back, and no counsel shall deter them. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
8	و شرط است این عباد را که دل را که منبع خزینۀ الهیّه است از هر نقشی پاک کنند و از تقلید که از اثر آبا و اجداد است اعراض نمایند و ابواب دوستی و دشمنی را با کلّ اهل ارض مسدود کنند (edit)	It is incumbent on these servants that they cleanse the heart -- which is the wellspring of divine treasures -- from every marking, and that they turn away from imitation, which is following the traces of their forefathers and sires, and shut the door of friendliness and enmity upon all the people of the earth. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
9	و طالب در این سفر بمقامی رسد که همۀ موجودات را در طلب دوست سرگشته بیند چه یعقوبها بیند که در طلب یوسف آواره مانده‌اند عالمی حبیب بیند که در طلب محبوب دوانند و جهانی عاشق ملاحظه کند که در پی معشوق روان و در هر آنی امری مشاهده کند و در هر ساعتی بر سرّی مطّلع گردد زیرا که دل از هر دو جهان برداشته و عزم کعبۀ جانان نموده و در هر قدمی اعانت غیبی او را شامل شود و جوش طلبش زیاده گردد (edit)	In this journey the seeker reacheth a stage wherein he seeth all created things wandering <p6> distracted in search of the Friend. How many a Jacob will he see, hunting after his Joseph; he will behold many a lover, hasting to seek the Beloved, he will witness a world of desiring ones searching after the One Desired. At every moment he findeth a weighty matter, in every hour he becometh aware of a mystery; for he hath taken his heart away from both worlds, and set out for the Ka'bih [1] of the Beloved. At every step, aid from the Invisible Realm will attend him and the heat of his search will grow. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
10	طلب را باید از مجنون عشق اندازه گرفت حکایت کنند که روزی مجنون را دیدند خاک میبیخت و اشک میریخت گفتند چه میکنی گفت لیلی را میجویم گفتند وای بر تو لیلی از روح پاک و تو از خاک طلب میکنی گفت همه جا در طلبش میکوشم شاید در جائی بجویم (edit)	One must judge of search by the standard of the Majnun of Love. [1] It is related that one day they came upon Majnun sifting the dust, and his tears flowing down. They said, "What doest thou?" He said, "I seek for Layli." They cried, "Alas for thee! Layli is of pure spirit, and thou seekest her in the dust!" He said, "I seek her everywhere; haply somewhere I shall find her." (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
11	بلی در تراب ربّ الارباب جستن اگرچه نزد عاقل قبیح است لکن بر کمال جدّ و طلب دلیل است من طلب شیئاً و جدّ وجد (edit)	Yea, although to the wise it be shameful to <p7> seek the Lord of Lords in the dust, yet this betokeneth intense ardor in searching. "Whoso seeketh out a thing with zeal shall find it." [1] (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
12	طالب صادق جز وصال مطلوب چیزی نجوید و حبیب را جز وصال محبوب مقصودی نباشد و این طلب طالب را حاصل نشود مگر بنثار آنچه هست یعنی آنچه دیده و شنیده و فهمیده همه را بنفی لا منفی سازد تا بشهرستان جان که مدینۀ الّا است واصل شود همّتی باید تا در طلبش کوشیم و جهدی باید تا از شهد وصلش نوشیم اگر از این جام نوش کشیم عالمی فراموش کنیم (edit)	The true seeker hunteth naught but the object of his quest, and the lover hath no desire save union with his beloved. Nor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things. That is, whatever he hath seen, and heard, and understood, all must he set at naught, that he may enter the realm of the spirit, which is the City of God. Labor is needed, if we are to seek Him; ardor is needed, if we are to drink of the honey of reunion with Him; and if we taste of this cup, we shall cast away the world. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
13	و سالک در این سفر بر هر خاکی جالس شود و در هر بلادی ساکن گردد از هر وجهی طلب جمال دوست کند و در هر دیار طلب یار نماید با هر جمعی مجتمع شود و با هر سری همسری نماید که شاید در سری سرّ محبوب بیند و یا از صورتی جمال محبوب مشاهده کند (edit)	On this journey the traveler abideth in every land and dwelleth in every region. In every face, he seeketh the beauty of the Friend; in every country he looketh for the Beloved. He joineth every company, and seeketh fellowship with every soul, that haply in some mind he may uncover the secret of the Friend, or in some face he may behold the beauty of the Loved One. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
14	و اگر در این سفر باعانت باری از یار بی‌نشان نشان یافت و بوی یوسف گم‌گشته از بشیر احدیّه شنید فوراً بوادی عشق قدم گذارد و از نار عشق بگدازد در این شهر آسمان جذب بلند شود و آفتاب جهانتاب شوق طالع گردد و نار عشق برافروزد و چون نار عشق برافروخت خرمن عقل بکلّی بسوخت (edit)	And if, by the help of God, he findeth on this journey a trace of the traceless Friend, and inhaleth the fragrance of the long-lost Joseph <p8> from the heavenly messenger, [1] he shall straightway step into THE VALLEY OF LOVE and be dissolved in the fire of love. In this city the heaven of ecstasy is upraised and the world-illuming sun of yearning shineth, and the fire of love is ablaze; and when the fire of love is ablaze, it burneth to ashes the harvest of reason. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
15	در اینوقت سالک از خود و غیر خود بی‌خبر است نه جهل و علم داند نه شکّ و یقین نه صبح هدایت شناسد و نه شام ضلالت از کفر و ایمان هر دو در گریز و سمّ قاتلش دلپذیر اینست که عطّار گفته کفر کافر را و دین دین‌دار را ذرّۀ دردت دل عطّار را (edit)	Now is the traveler unaware of himself, and of aught besides himself. He seeth neither ignorance nor knowledge, neither doubt nor certitude; he knoweth not the morn of guidance from the night of error. He fleeth both from unbelief and faith, and deadly poison is a balm to him. Wherefore Attar [1] saith: For the infidel, error -- for the faithful, faith; For Attar's heart, an atom of Thy pain. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
16	مرکب این وادی درد است و اگر درد نباشد هرگز این سفر تمام نشود و عاشق در این رتبه جز معشوق خیالی ندارد و جز محبوب پناهی نجوید و در هر آن صد جان رایگان در ره جانان دهد و در هر قدمی هزار سر در پای دوست اندازد (edit)	The steed of this Valley is pain; and if there be no pain this journey will never end. In this station the lover hath no thought save the Beloved, and seeketh no refuge save the Friend. At every moment he offereth a hundred lives in the path of the Loved One, at every step he throweth a thousand heads at the feet of the Beloved. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
17	ای برادر من تا بمصر عشق درنیائی بیوسف جمال دوست واصل نشوی و تا چون یعقوب از چشم ظاهری نگذری چشم باطن نگشائی و تا بنار عشق نیفروزی بیار شوق نیامیزی (edit)	O My Brother! Until thou enter the Egypt of love, thou shalt never come to the Joseph of the Beauty of the Friend; and until, like Jacob, thou forsake thine outward eyes, thou shalt never open the eye of thine inward being; and until thou burn with the fire of love, thou shalt never commune with the Lover of Longing. (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
18	و عاشق را از هیچ چیز پروا نیست و از هیچ ضرّی ضرر نه از نار سردش بینی و از دریا خشکش یابی نشان عاشق آن باشد که سردش بینی از دوزخ نشان عارف آن باشد که خشکش بینی از دریا (edit)	A lover feareth nothing and no harm can come nigh him: Thou seest him chill in the fire and dry in the sea. A lover is he who is chill in hell fire; A knower is he who is dry in the sea. [1] (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
19	عشق هستی قبول نکند و زندگی نخواهد حیوة در ممات بیند و عزّت از ذلّت جوید بسیار هوش باید تا لایق جوش عشق شود و بسیار سر باید تا قابل کمند دوست گردد مبارک گردنی که در کمندش افتد و فرخنده سری که در راهِ محبّتش بخاک افتد پس ایدوست از نفس بیگانه شو تا بیگانه پی‌بری و از خاکدان فانی بگذر تا در آشیان الهی جای گیری نیستی باید تا نار هستی برافروزی و مقبول راه عشق شوی نکند عشق نفس زنده قبول نکند باز موش مرده شکار (edit)	Love accepteth no existence and wisheth no life: He seeth life in death, and in shame seeketh glory. To merit the madness of love, man must abound in sanity; to merit the bonds of the Friend, he must be full of spirit. Blessed the neck that is caught in His noose, happy the head that falleth on the dust in the pathway of His love. Wherefore, O friend, give up thy self that thou mayest find the Peerless One, pass by this mortal earth that thou mayest seek <p10> a home in the nest of heaven. Be as naught, if thou wouldst kindle the fire of being and be fit for the pathway of love. Love seizeth not upon a living soul, The falcon preyeth not on a dead mouse. [1] (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
20	عشق در هر آنی عالمی بسوزد و در هر دیار که علم برافرازد ویران سازد در مملکتش هستی را وجودی نه و در سلطنتش عاقلان را مقرّی نه نهنگ عشق ادیب عقل را ببلعد و لبیب دانش بشکرد هفت دریا بیاشامد و عطش قلبش نیفسرد و هل من مزید گوید از خویش بیگانه شود و از هر چه در عالم است کناره گیرد با دو عالم عشق را بیگانگی اندر او هفتاد و دو دیوانگی (edit)	Love setteth a world aflame at every turn, and he wasteth every land where he carrieth his banner. Being hath no existence in his kingdom; the wise wield no command within his realm. The leviathan of love swalloweth the master of reason and destroyeth the lord of knowledge. He drinketh the seven seas, but his heart's thirst is still unquenched, and he saith, "Is there yet any more?" [1] He shunneth himself and draweth away from all on earth. Love's a stranger to earth and heaven too; In him are lunacies seventy-and-two. [1] (edit)	Nothing entered yet... (edit)
