متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پشه آمد از حدیقه وز گیاه	وز سلیمان گشت پشه دادخواه
A mosquito came from the garden and from the herbs, And from Solomon the mosquito became a seeker of justice.
کای سلیمان معدلت می گستری	بر شیاطین و آدمی زاد و پری
"O Solomon, you spread justice Over demons, the progeny of Adam, and the jinn.
مرغ و ماهی در پناه عدل تست	کیست آن گم گشته کش فضلت نجست
Bird and fish are under the shelter of your justice— Who is that lost one who has not sought your grace?
داد ده ما را که بس زاریم ما	بی نصیب از باغ و گلزاریم ما
Give us justice, for we are utterly wretched, Without portion from garden and rose-bower.
مشکلات هر ضعیفی از تو حل	پشه باشد در ضعیفی خود مثل
The difficulties of every weak one are resolved by you— The mosquito is itself a proverb in weakness.
شهره ما در ضعف و اشکسته پری	شهره تو در لطف و مسکین پروری
We are famed for weakness and broken-wingedness, You are famed for kindness and nurturing of the destitute.
ای تو در اطباق قدرت منتهی	منتهی ما در کمی و بی رهی
O you who are supreme in the layers of power, We are supreme in littleness and waylessness.
داد ده ما را ازین غم کن جدا	دست گیر ای دست تو دست خدا
Give us justice, separate us from this sorrow, Take our hand—O one whose hand is the hand of God."
پس سلیمان گفت ای انصاف جو	داد و انصاف از که میخواهی بگو
Then Solomon said: "O seeker of equity, Tell me, justice and fairness—from whom do you seek them?
کیست آن کالم که از باد و بروت	ظلم کردست و خراشیدست روت
Who is that scoundrel who, with wind and bluster, Has done you wrong and scratched your face?
ای عجب در عهد ما ظالم کجاست	کو نه اندر حبس و در زنجیر ماست
How strange! In our reign, where is any oppressor Who is not in our prison and in our chains?
چونک ما زادیم ظلم آن روز مرد	پس بعهد ما کی ظلمی پیش برد
When we were born, oppression died that very day— So in our reign, how could any oppression advance?
چون بر آمد نور ظلمت نیست شد	ظلم را ظلمت بود اصل و عضد
When the light rose, darkness was no more— Darkness was the root and support of oppression.
نک شیاطین کسب و خدمت می کنند	دیگران بسته باصفادند و بند
Behold, the demons are engaged in labor and service, Others are bound in fetters and chains.
اصل ظلم ظالمان از دیو بود	دیو در بندست استم چون نمود
The root of oppressors' tyranny was from the demon— The demon is in chains; how could cruelty appear?
ملک زان دادست ما را کن فکان	تا ننالد خلق سوی آسمان
The Sovereign of Kun-fa-yakun has given us dominion So that the people do not cry out toward heaven,
تا به بالا بر نیاید دودها	تا نگردد مضطرب چرخ و سها
So that smoke does not rise upward, So that the celestial sphere and Suha do not become agitated.
تا نلرزد عرش از ناله یتیم	تا نگردد از ستم جانی سقیم
So that the Throne does not tremble from the orphan's lament, So that no soul becomes sick from oppression.
زان نهادیم از ممالک مذهبی	تا نیاید بر فلکها یا ربی
For this we have instituted just governance across the kingdoms, So that no cry of 'O Lord!' rises to the heavens.
منگر ای مظلوم سوی آسمان	کاسمانی شاه داری در زمان
O oppressed one, look not toward heaven— For you have a heavenly king on earth in this time."
گفت پشه داد من از دست باد	کو دو دست ظلم بر ما بر گشاد
The mosquito said: "My justice is against the wind, Who has opened two hands of oppression upon us.
ما ز ظلم او به تنگی اندریم	با لب بسته ازو خون می خوریم
We are in straits from his oppression— With sealed lips, we swallow blood from him."
