متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت قاضی بس تهی رو صوفییخالی از فطنت چو کاف کوفیی
The Qadi said, 'You are a very brazen Sufi,
empty of intelligence like the Kufic letter Kaf.
تو بنشنیدی که آن پر قند لبغدر خیاطان همی گفتی به شب
Did you not hear that the sweet-lipped one
was telling at night of the treachery of tailors?
خلق را در دزدی آن طایفهمی نمود افسانه های سالفه
He was presenting to the people ancient tales
concerning the thievery of that group.
قصهٔ پاره ربایی در برینمی حکایت کرد او با آن و این
The story of stealing scraps in cutting garments,
he was recounting to this one and that.
در سمر می خواند دزدی نامه ایگرد او جمع آمده هنگامه ای
In his evening-talk he was reciting a book of thievery;
a crowd had gathered around him.
مستمع چون یافت جاذب زان وفودجمله اجزااش حکایت گشته بود
When the listener found an attraction from that gathered crowd,
all his parts became absorbed in the story.'
