دفتر سوم - بخش ۷۵ - سبب جرأت ساحران فرعون بر قطع دست و پا / Book Three - Section 75 - The Reason for the Courage of Pharaoh's Sorcerers Regarding the Cutting of Hands and Feet

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ساحران را نه که فرعون لعینکرد تهدید سیاست بر زمین
Did not the accursed Pharaoh
threaten the sorcerers with punishment on earth,
که ببرم دست و پاتان از خلافپس در آویزم، ندارمتان معاف
Saying, "I will cut off your hands and feet for your opposition,
then I will hang you, I will not pardon you"?
او همی پنداشت کایشان در همانوهم و تخویفند و وسواس و گمان
He thought that they were in that same
illusion and fear and anxiety and doubt,
که بودشان لرزه و تخویف و ترساز توهمها و تهدیدات نفس
That they would have trembling and terror and fear
from the illusions and threats of the ego.
او نمی دانست کایشان رسته اندبر دریچهٔ نور دل بنشسته اند
He did not know that they had been liberated,
they had sat at the window of the heart's light.
این جهان خوابست اندر ظن مه ایستگر رود درخواب دستی باک نیست
This world is a dream, do not stay in assumption.
If a hand is lost in a dream, there is no fear.
گر بخواب اندر سرت ببرید گازهم سرت بر جاست و هم عمرت دراز
If in a dream a shears cuts off your head,
your head is still in place and your life is long.
گر ببینی خواب در خود را دو نیمتن درستی چون بخیزی، نی سقیم
If you see yourself cut in two halves in a dream,
you are healthy when you arise, not sick.
حاصل اندر خواب نقصان بدننیست باک و نه دوصد پاره شدن
In short, the mutilation of the body in a dream
is no cause for fear, nor is being torn into two hundred pieces.
این جهان را که به صورت قایمستگفت پیغامبر که حلم نایمست
This world which is established in form,
the Prophet said, is the dream of a sleeper.
از ره تقلید تو کردی قبولسالکان این دیده پیدا بی رسول
By way of imitation you accepted it,
the wayfarers have seen this clearly without a messenger.
روز در خوابی مگو کین خواب نیستسایه فرعست اصل جز مهتاب نیست
In the day you are asleep, do not say this is not a dream,
the shadow is the branch, the root is naught but the moonlight.
خواب و بیداریت آن دان ای عضدکه ببیند خفته کو در خواب شد
Know that your sleeping and waking, O helper,
is as when a sleeper dreams that he has gone to sleep.
او گمان برده که این دم خفته امبی خبر زان کوست درخواب دوم
He imagines, "I am asleep at this moment,"
unaware that he is in a second dream.
هاون گردون اگر صد بارشانخرد کوبد اندرین گلزارشان
If the mortar of the wheel of heaven a hundred times
crushes them to pieces in this rose-garden of theirs,
اصل این ترکیب را چون دیده انداز فروع وهم کم ترسیده اند
Since they have seen the root of this composition,
they have feared little the branches of illusion.
سایهٔ خود را ز خود دانسته اندچابک و چست و گش و بر جسته اند
They have known their shadow from themselves,
they are agile and nimble and elegant and prominent.
کوزه گر گر کوزه ای را بشکندچون بخواهد باز خود قایم کند
If a potter breaks a jug,
when he wishes he restores it himself.
کور را هر گام باشد ترس چاهبا هزاران ترس می آید به راه
For the blind man, at every step is the fear of a well,
with thousands of fears he walks the path.
مرد بینا دید عرض راه راپس بداند او مغاک و چاه را
The seeing man has seen the breadth of the path,
so he knows the pit and the well.
پا و زانواش نلرزد هر دمیرو ترش کی دارد او از هر غمی
His feet and knees do not tremble every moment,
how does he keep a sour face from every sorrow?
خیز فرعونا که ما آن نیستیمکه به هر بانگی و غولی بیستیم
Arise, O Pharaoh! For we are not the ones
to stop at every shout and ghoul.
خرقهٔ ما را بدر، دوزنده هستورنه ما را خود برهنه تر به است
Tear our garment! There is a Mender;
otherwise, naked is even better for us.
بی لباس این خوب را اندر کنارخوش در آریم ای عدو نابکار
Without clothes, we will happily embrace this beauty,
O wicked enemy!
خوشتر از تجرید از تن وز مزاجنیست ای فرعون بی الهام گیج
Sweeter than stripping off the body and temperament
there is nothing, O Pharaoh, dizzy without inspiration!
