دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۸۵ - رو نهادن آن بندهٔ عاشق سوی بخارا / Book Three - Section 185 - That Enamored Servant Setting His Face Toward Bukhara

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

رو نهاد آن عاشق خونابه ریزدل طپان سوی بخارا گرم و تیز
That blood-weeping lover set his face,
Heart a-tremble, toward Bukhara, ardent and swift.
ریگ آمون پیش او همچون حریرآب جیحون پیش او چون آبگیر
The sands of the Amu before him were like silk,
The waters of the Jayhun before him like a pool.
آن بیابان پیش او چون گلستانمی فتاد از خنده او ، چون گل    ستان
That desert before him was like a rose garden,
He tumbled laughing like a spreading rose garden.
در سمرقندست قند اما لبشاز بخارا یافت و آن شد مذهبش
In Samarkand there is sugar, yet his lip
Found its sweetness from Bukhara — and that became his creed.
ای بخارا عقل افزا بوده ایلیکن ازمن عقل و دین بربوده ای
O Bukhara, you have been the increaser of reason,
Yet from me you have stolen reason and religion.
بدر می جویم از آنم چون هلالصدر می جویم درین صف نعال
I seek the full moon, so I am like the crescent,
I seek the place of honor in this row of sandals.
چون سواد آن بخارا را بدیددر سواد غم بیاضی شد پدید
When he saw the dark outline of that Bukhara,
In the darkness of grief, a whiteness appeared.
ساعتی افتاد بیهوش و درازعقل او پرید در بستان راز
For a time he fell unconscious and prone,
His reason flew off into the garden of mystery.
بر سر و رویش گلابی می زدنداز گلاب عشق او غافل بدند
They sprinkled rosewater on his head and face,
Unaware of the rosewater of his love.
او گلستانی نهانی دیده بودغارت عشقش ز خود ببریده بود
He had beheld a hidden rose garden,
The plunder of love had severed him from himself.
تو فسرده درخور این دم نه ایبا شکر مقرون نه ای گرچه نیی
You, frozen one, are not fit for this breath,
You are not joined with sweetness, though you are a reed.
رخت عقلت با توست و عاقلیکز جنودا لم تروها غافلی
Your reason's baggage is with you and you are rational,
Heedless of "armies you have not seen."
