متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت باری نطق سگ کو بر درستنطق مرغ خانگی کاهل پرست
He said: "At least, where is the speech of the dog, truly?
The speech of the domestic fowl, the worshipper of sloth?"
گفت موسی هین تو دانی رو رسیدنطق این هر دو شود بر تو پدید
Moses said: "Heed! Go — you know — the time has come;
The speech of these two shall become manifest to you."
بامدادان از برای امتحانایستاد او منتظر بر آستان
At dawn, for the sake of trial,
He stood waiting at the threshold.
خادمه سفره بیفشاند و فتادپاره ای نان بیات آثار زاد
The handmaid shook out the tablecloth and there fell
A piece of stale bread, remnants of provisions.
در ربود آن را خروسی چون گروگفت سگ کردی تو بر ما ظلم رو
A rooster snatched it up like a pledge;
The dog said: "You have done us wrong — go!
دانهٔ گندم توانی خورد و منعاجزم در دانه خوردن در وطن
You are able to eat wheat grain, but I
Am helpless to eat grain in this homeland.
گندم و جو را و باقی حبوبمی توانی خورد و من نه ای طروب
Wheat and barley, and the rest of the grains,
You can eat, but I cannot, O joyful one.
این لب نانی که قسم ماست نانمی ربایی این قدر را از سگان
This crust of bread that is our portion of bread,
You are snatching even this much from the dogs."
