متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

زانک استعداد تبدیل و نبردبودش از پستی و آن را فوت کرد
Because the capacity for transformation and struggle
Was his from baseness, and he squandered it away.
باز حیوان را چو استعداد نیستعذر او اندر بهیمی روشنیست
But as for the animal, since it has no such capacity,
Its excuse in its bestiality is plain and clear.
زو چو استعداد شد کان رهبرستهر غذایی کو خورد مغز خرست
When that capacity which is the guide departs from him,
Whatever food he eats is the brain of an ass.
گر بلادر خورد او افیون شودسکته و بی‌عقلیش افزون شود
If he eats marking nut (baladar), it becomes opium for him,
His stupor and want of reason only grow.
ماند یک قسم دگر اندر جهادنیم حیوان نیم حی با رشاد
There remains yet another kind, still in the struggle (jihad),
Half animal, half alive with right guidance (rashad),
روز و شب در جنگ و اندر کش‌مکشکرده چالیش آخرش با اولش
Day and night in battle and contention,
Having pitted its end in contest against its beginning.
