متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

اشکش از دیده بجست و گفت اوبا همه آن شاه شیرین نام کو
His tears leaped from his eyes, and he asked,
"With all that, where is that sweet-named King?"
گفت آن سالوس زراق تهیدام گولان و کمند گمرهی
She replied, "That empty, deceitful hypocrite,
A snare for fools and a lasso of error!
صد هزاران خام ریشان هم چو تواوفتاده از وی اندر صد عتو
Hundreds of thousands of raw-bearded men like you,
Have fallen into a hundred rebellions and hardships because of him.
گر نبینیش و سلامت وا رویخیر تو باشد نگردی زو غوی
If you do not see him and depart in safety,
It will be for your own good; you will not be led astray by him.
لاف کیشی کاسه لیسی طبل خواربانگ طبلش رفته اطراف دیار
A boasting bowl-licker, a hollow drum!
The noise of his drum has reached the ends of the land.
سبطی اند این قوم و گوساله پرستدر چنین گاوی چه می مالند دست
These people are like the Tribes of Israel, worshipping the calf;
Why do they rub their hands upon such a cow?
جیفة اللیلست و بطال النهارهر که او شد غرهٔ این طبل خوار
He who is deceived by this hollow drum,
Is a corpse by night and an idler by day.
هشته اند این قوم صد علم و کمالمکر و تزویری گرفته کینست حال
These people have abandoned a hundred sciences and perfections;
They have clung to fraud and trickery, saying, 'This is the spiritual state!'
آل موسی کو دریغا تاکنونعابدان عجل را ریزند خون
Alas, where are the followers of Moses now,
To shed the blood of the calf-worshippers?
شرع و تقوی را فکنده سوی پشتکو عمر کو امر معروفی درشت
They have cast the religious law and piety behind their backs.
Where is an Umar? Where is a severe commander of righteousness?
کین اباحت زین جماعت فاش شدرخصت هر مفسد قلاش شد
For this permissiveness has been spread by this group,
It has become a license for every corrupt scoundrel.
کو ره پیغامبری و اصحاب اوکو نماز و سبحه و آداب او
Where is the path of the Prophet and his Companions?
Where are his prayers, his rosary, and his devotions?"
