متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن یکی قج داشت از پس می کشیددزد قج را برد حبلش را برید
A certain man had a ram which he was pulling behind him;
A thief stole the ram and cut its rope.
چونک آگه شد دوان شد چپ و راستتا بیابد کان قج برده کجاست
When he became aware, he ran left and right,
So that he might find where that stolen ram was.
بر سر چاهی بدید آن دزد راکه فغان می کرد کای واویلتا
At the head of a well, he saw that thief,
Who was crying out, 'Alas, woe is me!'
گفت نالان از چئی ای اوستادگفت همیان زرم در چه فتاد
He said, 'What are you lamenting about, O master?'
He replied, 'My purse of gold fell into the well.
گر توانی در روی بیرون کشیخمس بدهم مر ترا با دلخوشی
If you can go in and pull it out,
I will joyfully give you a fifth of it.
خمس صد دینار بستانی به دستگفت او خود این بهای ده قجست
You will receive twenty dinars as a fifth.'
He said to himself, 'This itself is the price of ten rams.
گر دری بر بسته شد ده در گشادگر قجی شد حق عوض اشتر بداد
If one door was closed, ten doors opened;
If a ram is gone, God gave a camel in exchange.'
جامه ها بر کند و اندر چاه رفتجامه ها را برد هم آن دزد تفت
He took off his clothes and went into the well;
That thief swiftly carried away the clothes too.
حازمی باید که ره تا ده بردحزم نبود طمع طاعون آورد
Prudence is needed to bring one safely to the village;
Without prudence, greed brings a plague.
او یکی دزدست فتنه سیرتیچون خیال او را بهر دم صورتی
He (the ego/Satan) is a thief with a mischievous nature;
Like imagination, he assumes a new form every moment.
کس نداند مکر او الا خدادر خدا بگریز و وا ره زان دغا
No one knows his deceit except God;
Flee to God and be delivered from that imposter.
