متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت خواجه صبر کن با او بگوکه ازو ببریم و بدهیمش به تو
The master said, 'Be patient, tell him:
"We will cut her off (from the suitor) and give her to you."
تا مگر این از دلش بیرون کنمتو تماشا کن که دفعش چون کنم
So that perhaps I may drive this out of his heart;
you watch how I will repel him.
تو دلش خوش کن بگو می دان درستکه حقیقت دختر ما جفت تست
You make his heart glad; say, "Know for certain
that in truth our daughter is your mate.
ما ندانستیم ای خوش مشتریچونک دانستیم ، تو اولی تری
We did not know, O good buyer;
now that we know, you are more worthy.
آتش ما هم درین کانون مالیلی آن ما و تو مجنون ما
Our fire is also in this hearth of ours;
the Layla is ours, and you are our Majnun."
تا خیال و فکر خوش بر وی زندفکر شیرین مرد را فربه کند
So that a sweet imagination and thought may strike him;
a sweet thought makes a man healthy.
جانور فربه شود لیک از علفآدمی فربه ز عز است و شرف
An animal becomes fat, but from fodder;
a human becomes fat from honor and nobility.
آدمی فربه شود از راه گوشجانور فربه شود از حلق و نوش
A human becomes fat by way of the ear;
an animal becomes fat through the throat and drinking.'
گفت آن خاتون ازین ننگ مهینخود دهانم کی بجنبد اندرین
That lady said, 'From this great disgrace,
how can my mouth even move in this matter?
این چنین ژاژی چه خایم بهر اوگو بمیر آن خاین ابلیس خو
Why should I chew such absurdity for his sake?
Tell him to die, that traitor of devilish nature!'
گفت خواجه نی مترس و دم دهشتا رود علت ازو زین لطف خوش
The master said, 'No, do not fear, and deceive him,
so that the illness may depart from him through this sweet kindness.
دفع او را دلبرا بر من نویسهل که صحت یابد آن باریک ریس
Write down his repulsion to me, O sweetheart;
let him recover, that thin frail one.'
چون بگفت آن خسته را خاتون چنینمی نگنجید از تبختر بر زمین
When the lady spoke thus to that sick one,
he could not be contained on the earth out of pride.
زفت گشت و فربه و سرخ و شکفتچون گل سرخ هزاران شکر گفت
He became stout and fat and red and blossomed;
like a red rose, he uttered a thousand thanks,
که گهی می گفت ای خاتون منکه مبادا باشد این دستان و فن
For sometimes he would say, 'O my lady,
may this not be a trick and an artifice!'
خواجه جمعیت بکرد و دعوتیکه همی سازم فرج را وصلتی
The master gathered an assembly and threw a feast,
saying, 'I am arranging a union for Faraj.'
تا جماعت عشوه می دادند و گالکه ای فرج بادت مبارک اتصال
So that the group was giving him flattery and coaxing,
saying, 'O Faraj, may your union be blessed!'
تا یقین تر شد فرج را آن سخنعلت از وی رفت کل از بیخ و بن
Until that talk became more certain to Faraj,
the illness completely left him from the root and foundation.
بعد از آن اندر شب گردک به فنامردی را بست حنی هم چو زن
After that, on the nuptial night, by a trick,
he adorned a beardless boy with henna like a woman.
پر نگارش کرد ساعد چون عروسپس نمودش ماکیان دادش خروس
He made his forearms full of designs like a bride;
then he showed him a hen but gave him a rooster!
مقنعه و حلهٔ عروسان نکوکنگ امرد را بپوشانید او
The veil and the garments of beautiful brides,
he put on the stout beardless boy.
شمع را هنگام خلوت زود کشتماند هندو با چنان کنگ درشت
He quickly extinguished the candle at the time of privacy;
the Hindu remained with such a rough, stout boy.
هندوک فریاد می کرد و فغاناز برون نشنید کس از دف زنان
The wretched Hindu cried out and wailed;
no one from outside heard due to the tambourine players.
ضرب دف و کف و نعرهٔ مرد و زنکرد پنهان نعرهٔ آن نعره زن
The beating of the tambourine, the clapping, and the shouts of men and women,
concealed the shouts of that shouting one.
تا به روز آن هندوک را می فشاردچون بود در پیش سگ انبان آرد ؟
Until daybreak, he kept pressing that wretched Hindu;
how is it when a bag of flour is in front of a dog?
زود آوردند طاس و بوغ زفترسم داماد ان فرج حمام رفت
Early they brought a basin and a loud horn;
in the custom of grooms, that Faraj went to the bathhouse.
رفت در حمام او رنجور جانکون دریده هم چو دلق تونیان
He went into the bathhouse, sick in soul,
his backside torn like the cloak of bath-stokers.
آمد از حمام در گردک فسوسپیش او بنشست دختر چون عروس
He came from the bathhouse to the nuptial chamber, alas;
the daughter sat before him like a bride.
مادرش آنجا نشسته پاسبانکه نباید کاو کند روز امتحان
Her mother was sitting there as a guard,
lest he should act on the day of trial.
ساعتی در وی نظر کرد از عنادآنگهان با هر دو دستش ده بداد
For an hour he looked at her with obstinacy;
then with both hands he repelled her.
گفت کس را خود مبادا اتصالبا چو تو ناخوش عروس بد فعال
He said, 'May no one ever have union
with an unpleasant, ill-acting bride like you!
روز رویت روی خاتونان ترکیر زشتت شب بتر از کیر خر
By day, your face is more tender than the faces of ladies;
by night, your ugly prick is worse than a donkey's prick!'
هم چنان جمله نعیم این جهانبس خوش ست از دور پیش از امتحان
Likewise, all the bounties of this world,
are very pleasant from afar, before the trial.
می نماید در نظر از دور آبچون روی نزدیک باشد آن سراب
It appears to the sight as water from afar;
when you go near, it is a mirage.
گنده پیر ست او و از بس چاپلوسخویش را جلوه کند چون نو عروس
It is a foul old woman, and from so much flattery,
it displays itself like a new bride.
هین مشو مغرور آن گلگونه اشنوش نیش آلودهٔ او را مچش
Beware, do not be deceived by its rouge;
do not taste its sting-tainted honey.
صبر کن کالصبر مفتاح الفرجتا نیفتی چون فرج در صد حرج
Be patient, for patience is the key to relief,
so you do not fall into a hundred hardships like Faraj.
آشکارا دانه پنهان دام اوخوش نماید ز اولت انعام او
Its bait is manifest, its trap hidden;
its bounty appears sweet to you at first.
