دفتر سوم - بخش ۲۰۹ - بقیهٔ ذکر آن مهمان مسجد مهمان‌کش / Book Three - Section 209 - The Rest of the Account of That Guest in the Guest-Killing Mosque

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

باز گو کان پاک باز شیرمرداندر آن مسجد چه بنمودش چه کرد
Tell again: what was that pure-hearted lion-man shown,
And what did he do in that mosque?
خفت در مسجد خود او را خواب کومرد غرقه گشته چون خسپد بجو
He lay down in the mosque — but where was sleep for him?
How does a drowning man sleep in a stream?
خواب مرغ و ماهیان باشد همیعاشقان را زیر غرقاب غمی
Sleep belongs to birds and fish;
Lovers lie beneath the floodwaters of grief.
نیمشب آواز با هولی رسیدکایم آیم بر سرت ای مستفید
At midnight a terrifying voice arrived,
Saying: "I am coming, I am coming upon you, O seeker of benefit!"
پنج کرت این چنین آواز سختمی رسید و دل همی شد لخت لخت
Five times this harsh voice kept arriving,
And the heart was being torn to shreds.
