دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۸۹ - صفت آن مسجد کی عاشق‌کش بود و آن عاشق مرگ‌جوی لا ابالی کی درو مهمان شد / Book Three — Section 189 — Description of That Mosque Which Was a Slayer of Lovers, and That Reckless, Death-Seeking Lover Who Lodged Therein as Guest

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

یک حکایت گوش کن ای نیک پیمسجدی بد بر کنار شهر ری
Hear one tale, O you of auspicious step —
There was a mosque on the outskirts of the city of Ray.
هیچ کس در وی نخفتی شب ز بیمکه نه فرزندش شدی آن شب یتیم
No one would sleep therein at night out of fear
Without his child becoming an orphan that very night.
بس که اندر وی غریب عور رفتصبحدم چون اختران در گور رفت
So many a naked stranger entered it
That at dawn, like stars, he went into the grave.
خویشتن را نیک ازین آگاه کنصبح آمد خواب را کوتاه کن
Make yourself well aware of this;
Morning has come — cut short your sleep.
هر کسی گفتی که پریانند تنداندرو مهمان کشان با تیغ کند
Everyone said: fierce fairies dwell therein,
Guest-slayers within, armed with blunt swords.
آن دگر گفتی که سحرست و طلسمکین رصد باشد عدو جان و خصم
Another said: it is sorcery and talisman,
That this watch-post is the enemy and foe of the soul.
آن دگر گفتی که بر نه نقش فاشبر درش کای میهمان اینجا مباش
Another said: set a clear inscription
On its door: "O traveler, do not lodge here.
شب مخسپ اینجا اگر جان بایدتورنه مرگ اینجا کمین بگشایدت
Do not sleep here at night if your life is dear to you;
Otherwise death here will spring its ambush upon you."
وان یکی گفتی که شب قفلی نهیدغافلی کاید شما کم ره دهید
And yet another said: "At night put a lock on it;
If a heedless one comes, turn him away."
