《我們的一切都出自你的賜予》/魯米

來自專欄 魯米的詩

我們就像長笛，心中響起的音樂都是你的賜予。

我們就像山峰，心中盪起的回聲都是你的賜予。

我們是命運與勝敗維繫在一起的棋子，

這些勝利和失敗也都是你的賜予，

你的道德無比高尚。

啊，你是我們靈魂的靈魂，

而我們又算什麼，竟與你同行。

我們只不過是微塵，

你是至高的存在，創生了易逝的萬物。

我們是圖騰，在旗幟上飄揚的雄獅，

這精神化的雄獅啊，雄糾糾氣昂昂。

我們看不見風，只見旗幟在飄揚。

但願我們不會辜負不可見的東西。

輕拂而過的微風，包括我們，都是你的賜予。

我們的一切都出自你的造化，你的賜予。

肖林振/譯

We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;

we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.

We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:

our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!

Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,

that we should remain in being beside thee?

We and our existences are really non-existence;

thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.

We all are lions, but lions on a banner:

because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.

Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:

may that which is unseen not fail from us!

Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;

our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.

Masnavi Book I, 599-607
