دفتر اول - بخش ۸۲ - سؤال کردن رسول روم از عمر رضی‌الله عنه از سبب ابتلای ارواح با این آب و گل جسم / Book One - Section 82 - The Roman Envoy Asking Umar, May God be Pleased with Him, About the Cause of the Affliction of Spirits with This Water and Clay of the Body

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت یا عمر چه حکمت بود و سرحبس آن صافی درین جای کدر
He said, “O Umar, what wisdom and secret lies in imprisoning that pure one in this turbid place?
آب صافی در گلی پنهان شدهجان صافی بستهٔ ابدان شده
Pure water has been hidden in clay; the pure soul has been bound to bodies.”
گفت تو بحثی شگرفی می کنیمعنیی را بند حرفی می کنی
He said, “You are making a wondrous inquiry; you are binding meaning in letters.
حبس کردی معنی آزاد رابند حرفی کرده ای تو یاد را
You have imprisoned free meaning; you have bound recollection in letters.
از برای فایده این کرده ایتو که خود از فایده در پرده ای
You have done this for the sake of benefit, though you yourself are veiled from benefit.
آنک از وی فایده زاییده شدچون نبیند آنچ ما را دیده شد
He from whom benefit was born: how would He not see what has become visible to us?
صد هزاران فایده ست و هر یکیصد هزاران پیش آن یک اندکی
There are hundreds of thousands of benefits, and each one, compared with that One, is little though hundreds of thousands of times over.
آن دم نطقت که جزو جزوهاستفایده شد کل کل خالی چراست
That breath of your speech, which is only a part among parts, has become beneficial; why, then, should the Whole of wholes be empty of benefit?
تو که جزوی کار تو با فایده ستپس چرا در طعن کل آری تو دست
You, who are a part, do your work with benefit; why then do you lay your hand to reproaching the Whole?
گفت را گر فایده نبود مگوور بود هل اعتراض و شکر جو
If speech has no benefit, do not speak; and if it has, leave objection and seek gratitude.
شکر یزدان طوق هر گردن بودنی جدال و رو ترش کردن بود
Gratitude to God is a collar on every neck, not argument and sour-facedness.
گر ترش رو بودن آمد شکر و بسپس چو سرکه شکرگویی نیست کس
If being sour-faced counts as gratitude, then no one gives thanks like vinegar.
سرکه را گر راه باید در جگرگو بشو سرکنگبین او از شکر
If vinegar wants a way into the liver, tell it: go, become sikanjabin through sugar.
معنی اندر شعر جز با خبط نیستچون قلاسنگست و اندر ضبط نیست
Meaning in poetry is never without stumbling; it is like a sling-stone and is not under control.”
