متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دید پیغامبر یکی جوقی اسیرکه همی بردند و ایشان در نفیر
The Prophet saw a troop of captives being led along, while they were weeping and wailing.
دیدشان در بند آن آگاه شیرمی نظر کردند در وی زیر زیر
That conscious lion saw them in bonds, and they were looking at him stealthily.
تا همی خایید هر یک از غضببر رسول صدق دندانها و لب
Every one of them, out of rage, was gnashing his teeth and biting his lips at the Messenger of Truth.
زهره نه با آن غضب که دم زنندزانک در زنجیر قهر ده منند
Yet despite that rage, they had no courage to breathe a word, because they were in the ten-maund chains of wrath.
می کشاندشان موکل سوی شهرمی برد از کافرستانشان به قهر
The guard was dragging them towards the city, taking them by force from the land of the infidels.
نه فدایی می ستاند نه زرینه شفاعت می رسد از سروری
He would accept no ransom, nor any gold, nor did any intercession from a chieftain reach them.
رحمت عالم همی گویند و اوعالمی را می برد حلق و گلو
They say: 'He is a mercy to the worlds,' yet he is dragging a world along by the throat and neck!
با هزار انکار می رفتند راهزیر لب طعنه زنان بر کار شاه
With a thousand denials they went on their way, muttering taunts under their breath at the King's actions.
چاره ها کردیم و اینجا چاره نیستخود دل این مرد کم از خاره نیست
'We tried every remedy, but here there is no remedy; indeed, the heart of this man is no less than hard stone.'
ما هزاران مرد شیر الپ ارسلانبا دو سه عریان سست نیم جان
'How are we, thousands of men as brave as the lion Alp Arslan, vanquished by two or three naked, weak, half-dead men?'
این چنین درمانده ایم از کژرویستیا ز اخترهاست یا خود جادویست
'That we are thus helpless must be due to some error of our own, or from the stars, or indeed it is magic.'
بخت ما را بر درید آن بخت اوتخت ما شد سرنگون از تخت او
'His fortune has torn our fortune to pieces; our throne has been overturned by his throne.'
کار او از جادوی گر گشت زفتجادوی کردیم ما هم چون نرفت
'If his affair became powerful through magic, we too practiced magic, so why did it not succeed?'
