دفتر اول - بخش ۷۱ - پرسیدن شیر از سبب پای واپس کشیدن خرگوش / Book One - Section 71 - The Lion Asking About the Reason for the Hare Drawing Back His Foot

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شیر گفتش تو ز اسباب مرضاین سبب گو خاص کاینستم غرض
The lion said to him: "You, of the causes of illness —
Tell this particular cause, for this is my purpose.
گفت آن شیر اندرین چه ساکنستاندرین قلعه ز آفات آمنست
He said: "That lion dwells within this well;
Within this fortress he is safe from afflictions.
قعر چه بگزید هر که عاقلستزانک در خلوت صفاهای دلست
Whoever is wise has chosen the depth of the well,
For in solitude lie the heart's purities.
ظلمت چه به که ظلمتهای خلقسر نبرد آنکس که گیرد پای خلق
The darkness of the well is better than the darknesses of mankind;
He who grasps the feet of people will not keep his head.
گفت پیش آ زخمم او را قاهرستتو ببین کان شیر در چه حاضرست
He said: "Come forward — my blow has subdued him;
Come see how that lion is present in the well."
گفت من سوزیده ام زان آتشیتو مگر اندر بر خویشم کشی
He said: "I have been burned by that fire;
Perhaps you will draw me to your bosom,
تا به پشت تو من ای کان کرمچشم بگشایم بچه در بنگرم
So that upon your back, O mine of generosity,
I may open my eyes and look down into the well."
