دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۲ - بقیهٔ داستان رفتن خواجه به دعوت روستایی سوی ده / Book Three - Section 12 - The Rest of the Story of the Master Going to the Village at the Villager's Invitation

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شد ز حد هین باز گرد ای یار گردروستایی خواجه را بین خانه برد
It has gone beyond measure — heed! Turn back, O wandering friend;
The peasant took the master home.
قصهٔ اهل سبا یک گوشه نهآن بگو کان خواجه چون آمد به ده
Set the story of the people of Saba aside for now;
Tell how the master came to the village.
روستایی در تملق شیوه کردتا که حزم خواجه را کالیوه کرد
The peasant practiced the art of flattery
Until he left the master's prudence bewildered.
از پیام اندر پیام او خیره شدتا زلال حزم خواجه تیره شد
Message upon message bewildered him,
Until the clear waters of the master's prudence were muddied.
هم ازینجا کودکانش در پسندنرتع و نلعب به شادی می زدند
From here, too, his children, with delight,
Were joyfully chanting: "Let us roam and play!"
همچو یوسف که ش ز تقدیر عجبنرتع و نلعب ببرد از ظل اب
Like Joseph, whom by wondrous decree
"Let us roam and play" drew away from his father's shade.
آن نه بازی ، بلکه جانبازی ست آنحیله و مکر و دغا سازی ست آن
That is not play — rather it is the staking of life;
It is cunning, deceit, and the weaving of fraud.
هرچه از یارت جدا اندازد آنمشنو آن را کان زیان دارد زیان
Whatever throws you far from your Friend —
Do not heed it, for it bears harm, genuine harm.
گر بود آن سود صد در صد ، مگیربهر زر مگسل ز گنجور ای فقیر
Even if it were profit a hundredfold, do not take it;
For the sake of gold, do not cut yourself from the treasurer, O poor one.
این شنو که چند یزدان زجر کردگفت اصحاب نبی را گرم و سرد
Hear this: how many times did God rebuke?
He spoke to the companions of the Prophet, hot and cold.
زانک بر بانگ دهل در سال تنگجمعه را کردند باطل بی درنگ
For, at the sound of the drum, in a year of hardship,
They made the Friday prayer void without delay —
تا نباید دیگران ارزان خرندزان جلب صرفه ز ما ایشان برند
Lest others should buy cheaply
And take the profit of that trade from us.
ماند پیغامبر به خلوت در نمازبا دو سه درویش ثابت پر نیاز
The Prophet remained alone in prayer
With two or three steadfast, supplicating dervishes.
گفت طبل و لهو و بازرگانییچونتان ببرید از ربانیی
He said: "A drum, amusement, and commerce —
How did they take you away from the Divine?"
قد فضضتم نحو قمح هائماثم خلیتم نبیا قائما
"You dispersed, wandering toward wheat,
Then left a standing prophet behind."
بهر گندم تخم باطل کاشتیدو آن رسول حق را بگذاشتید
For the sake of wheat you sowed the seed of vanity,
And you abandoned the Messenger of Truth.
صحبت او « خیر من لهو »ست و مالبین که را بگذاشتی ؟ چشمی بمال
His company is better than amusement and wealth;
See whom you have left — rub your eyes and look!
خود نشد حرص شما را این یقینکه منم رزاق و خیر الرازقین
Did this not become certainty for your greed:
That I am the Provider and the best of providers?
آنکه گندم را ز خود روزی دهدکی توکل هات را ضایع نهد ؟
He who provides wheat as sustenance from Himself —
How would He ever waste your acts of trust in Him?
از پی گندم جدا گشتی از آنکه فرستاده ست گندم ز آسمان
For the sake of wheat you separated yourself from Him
Who sends wheat down from heaven.
