متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چون امیران از حسد جوشان شدندعاقبت بر شاه خود طعنه زدند
When the emirs began to boil with envy,
They finally taunted their King,
کین ایاز تو ندارد سی خردجامگی سی امیر او چون خورد
Saying, 'This Ayaz of yours does not have the intellect of thirty men,
How does he consume the stipend of thirty emirs?'
شاه بیرون رفت با آن سی امیرسوی صحرا و کهستان صیدگیر
The King went out with those thirty emirs,
Towards the desert and mountains to hunt.
کاروانی دید از دور آن ملکگفت امیری را برو ای مؤتفک
From afar, that King saw a caravan,
He said to an emir, 'Go, O liar,
رو بپرس آن کاروان را بر رصدکز کدامین شهر اندر می رسد
Go and ask that caravan at the watch-post,
From which city are they arriving?'
رفت و پرسید و بیامد که ز ریگفت عزمش تا کجا درماند وی
He went, asked, and came back saying, 'From Rayy.'
The King said, 'Where is its destination?' He was at a loss.
دیگری را گفت رو ای بوالعلاباز پرس از کاروان که تا کجا
He told another, 'Go, O Abu l-Ala,
Ask the caravan again, where are they heading?'
رفت و آمد گفت تا سوی یمنگفت رختش چیست هان ای موتمن
He went and came back, saying, 'Towards Yemen.'
The King said, 'What are their goods? Come now, O trusted one!'
ماند حیران گفت با میری دگرکه برو وا پرس رخت آن نفر
He remained bewildered; the King said to another emir,
'Go and ask about the goods of those people.'
باز آمد گفت از هر جنس هستاغلب آن کاسه های رازیست
He came back and said, 'There is of every kind,
But mostly it is bowls from Rayy.'
گفت کی بیرون شدند از شهر ریماند حیران آن امیر سست پی
The King said, 'When did they depart from the city of Rayy?'
That weak-footed emir remained bewildered.
هم چنین تا سی امیر و بیشترسست رای و ناقص اندر کر و فر
In this way, up to thirty emirs and more,
Were weak in judgment and deficient in their pomp and show.
گفت امیران را که من روزی جداامتحان کردم ایاز خویش را
He said to the emirs, 'One day, apart,
I tested my own Ayaz,
که بپرس از کاروان تا از کجاستاو برفت این جمله وا پرسید راست
Telling him to ask the caravan where it is from.
He went and asked all this exactly right.
بی وصیت بی اشارت یک به یکحالشان دریافت بی ریبی و شک
Without instruction, without a hint, one by one,
He discovered their condition without doubt or suspicion.
هر چه زین سی میر اندر سی مقامکشف شد زو آن به یکدم شد تمام
Whatever was revealed by these thirty emirs in thirty stages,
Was fully accomplished by him in a single moment.'
