郭沫若译波斯诗歌《鲁拜集》连载17

49

朋友哟，你要去探此秘密时，

消费你宝贵的光阴——快请探去！

真与伪之间几不容发——

试问人生是何所依据？

ⅩLIX

Would you that spangle of Existence spend

About The Secret—quick about it, Friend!

A Hair perhaps divides the False and True—

And upon what, prithee, may life depend?

真与伪之间几不容发；

只有一个“阿里扶”可为导引，

——只要你能寻得时——

会引你到“宝室”，乃至“真君”；

L

A Hair perhaps divides the False and True;

Yes; and a single Alif were the clue—

Could you but find it—to the Treasure-house,

And peradventure to The Master too;

[注释]阿里扶（Alif）：亚拉伯字母之首字。即回教至上神Allah之首字。

真君冥冥兮周流八垠，

速如流汞兮消汝苦辛；

自月至鱼兮万汇赋形；

万汇毁变兮真君永存；

LI

Whose secret Presence, through Creation's veins

Running Quicksilver-like eludes your pains;

Taking all shapes from Máh to Máhi; and

They change and perish all—but He remains;

[注释]自月至鱼（from Máh to Máhi）：东方创世论，万有始于月，终于鱼。
