متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کرد بازرگان تجارت را تمامباز آمد سوی منزل دوستکام
The merchant brought his trading to an end,
And returned to his home, his wishes fulfilled.
هر غلامی را بیاورد ارمغانهر کنیزک را ببخشید او نشان
He brought a gift for every slave,
And gave a token to every handmaid.
گفت طوطی ارمغان بنده کوآنچ دیدی و آنچ گفتی بازگو
The parrot said, 'Where is the gift of your servant?
Tell me what you saw and what you said.'
گفت نه من خود پشیمانم از آندست خود خایان و انگشتان گزان
He said, 'Nay, I myself repent of that,
Gnawing my hand and biting my fingers.
من چرا پیغام خامی از گزافبردم از بی دانشی و از نشاف
Why did I carry a raw message so recklessly,
Out of ignorance and foolishness?'
گفت ای خواجه پشیمانی ز چیستچیست آن کاین خشم و غم را مقتضی ست ؟
It said, 'O master, what is your repentance for?
What is it that necessitates this anger and sorrow?'
گفت گفتم آن شکایت های توبا گروهی طوطیان ، همتای تو
He said, 'I told those complaints of yours
To a flock of parrots, your peers.
آن یکی طوطی ز دردت بوی بردزهره اش بدرید و لرزید و بمرد
One parrot caught the scent of your pain,
Its gall-bladder burst, it trembled and died.
من پشیمان گشتم ، این گفتن چه بودلیک چون گفتم پشیمانی چه سود
I became repentant, saying, "What was this telling?"
But since I had spoken, what was the use of regret?
نکته ای کان جست ناگه از زبانهمچو تیری دان که آن جست از کمان
A word that suddenly springs from the tongue,
Know it to be like an arrow that springs from the bow.
وا نگردد از ره آن تیر ای پسربند باید کرد سیلی را ز سر
That arrow does not turn back from its path, O son;
You must dam the torrent at its source.
چون گذشت از سر جهانی را گرفتگر جهان ویران کند نبود شگفت
When it passes the source, it takes over a world;
If it ruins a world, it is no wonder.
فعل را در غیب اثرها زادنی ستو آن موالید ش به حکم خلق نیست
An action has effects in the unseen that are bound to be born,
And those offspring are not subject to the creature's control.
بی شریکی جمله مخلوق خداستآن موالید ار چه نسبتشان به ماست
The whole of creation belongs to God without any partner,
Even though those offspring are attributed to us.
زید پرانید تیری سوی عمرعمر را بگرفت تیرش همچو نمر
Zayd shot an arrow towards 'Amr;
His arrow seized 'Amr like a leopard.
مدت سالی همی زایید درددردها را آفریند حق ، نه مرد
For the duration of a year it was begetting pain;
God creates pains, not man.
زید را می آن دم ار مرد از وجلدردها می زاید آنجا تا اجل
If he died from fear at that moment, ascribe it to Zayd;
Pains are born there until the appointed time of death.
زان موالید وجع چون مرد اوزید را ز اول سبب قتال گو
From those offspring of pain, when he dies,
Call Zayd the killer because of the primary cause.
آن وجع ها را بدو منسوب دارگرچه هست آن جمله صنع کردگار
Attribute those pains to him,
Even though all of that is the handiwork of the Creator.
همچنین کشت و دم و دام و جماعآن موالیدست حق را مستطاع
Likewise sowing and breathing and snare and copulation,
Those offspring are possible for the True One.
اولیا را هست قدرت از الهتیر جسته باز آرندش ز راه
The saints have power from God;
They can bring back the shot arrow from its path.
بسته درهای موالید از سببچون پشیمان شد ولی زان دست رب
When the doors of offspring are closed due to cause,
When the saint repents, by the hand of the Lord,
گفته ناگفته کند از فتح بابتا از آن نه سیخ سوزد نه کباب
He makes the spoken unspoken by opening the door,
So that neither the skewer nor the kebab burns from it.
از همه دل ها که آن نکته شنیدآن سخن را کرد محو و ناپدید
From all the hearts that heard that word,
He made that speech erased and vanished.
گرت برهان باید و حجت مهابازخوان من آیة او ننسها
If you need proof and argument, O chief,
Recite: "Whatever verse We abrogate or cause to be forgotten" (Quran 2:106).
آیت انسوکم ذکری بخوانقدرت نسیان نهادنشان بدان
Recite the verse, "They made you forget My remembrance" (Quran 23:110);
Know their power to instill forgetfulness.
چون به تذکیر و به نسیان قادرندبر همه دل های خلقان قاهرند
Since they are capable of reminding and making forget,
They are dominant over all the hearts of creatures.
چون به نسیان بست او راه نظرکار نتوان کرد ور باشد هنر
When He closes the way of sight with forgetfulness,
Work cannot be done, even if there is skill.
خلتم سخریة اهل السمواز نبی خوانید تا انسوکم
"You took them in mockery"—O people of the sky,
Read from the Prophet to "They made you forget".
صاحب ده پادشاه جسم هاستصاحب دل شاه دلهای شماست
The master of the village is the king of bodies;
The master of the heart is the king of your hearts.
فرع دید آمد عمل بی هیچ شکپس نباشد مردم الا مردمک
Action is without doubt the branch of vision;
So man is nothing but the pupil of the eye.
من تمام این نیارم گفت از آنمنع می آید ز صاحب مرکزان
I cannot tell the whole of this, because
Prevention comes from the masters of the centers.
چون فراموشی خلق و یادشانبا وی ست و او رسد فریادشان
Since the forgetting and remembering of creatures
Is with Him, and He comes to their cry for help.
صد هزاران نیک و بد را آن بهیمی کند هر شب ز دل هاشان تهی
A hundred thousand good and bad, that Good One
Empties from their hearts every night.
روز دل ها را از آن پر می کندآن صدف ها را پر از در می کند
By day He fills the hearts with them;
He fills those shells with pearls.
آن همه اندیشهٔ پیشانهامی شناسند از هدایت جانها
All those thoughts of the predecessors
The souls recognize through guidance.
پیشه و فرهنگ تو آید به توتا در اسباب بگشاید به تو
Your trade and culture come to you,
So that He opens the door in causes for you.
پیشهٔ زرگر به آهنگر نشدخوی این خوش خو با آن منکر نشد
The trade of the goldsmith did not go to the blacksmith;
The disposition of this good-natured one did not go to that disagreeable one.
پیشه ها و خلق ها همچون جهازسوی خصم آیند روز رستخیز
Trades and dispositions, like a dowry,
Will come towards the adversary on the Day of Resurrection.
پیشه ها و خلق ها از بعد خوابواپس آید هم به خصم خود شتاب
Trades and dispositions, after sleep,
Return swiftly to their own owner.
پیشه ها و اندیشه ها در وقت صبحهم بدانجا شد که بود آن حسن و قبح
Trades and thoughts at the time of morning
Went back to where that beauty and ugliness were.
چون کبوترهای پیک از شهرهاسوی شهر خویش آرد بهرها
Like messenger pigeons from cities,
They bring shares towards their own city.'
