متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن حکیمی گفت دیدم هم تکی	در بیابان زاغ را با لکلکی
A certain sage said: I once saw running together A crow and a stork in the wilderness.
در عجب ماندم بجستم حالشان	تا چه قدر مشترک یابم نشان
I was struck with wonder; I sought to know their condition, To see what common measure I might find between them.
چون شدم نزدیک من حیران و دنگ	خود بدیدم هر دوان بودند لنگ
When I drew near, bewildered and dazed, I saw for myself that both of them were lame.
خاصه شه بازی که او عرشی بود	با یکی جغدی که او فرشی بود
Especially a royal falcon that was of the Throne, Paired with an owl that was of the earth.
آن یکی خورشید علیین بود	وین دگر خفاش کز سجین بود
One was the sun of the highest heavens (ʿilliyyīn), And the other a bat from the depths of sijjīn.
آن یکی نوری ز هر عیبی بری	وین یکی کوری گدای هر دری
One was a light, free of every flaw, And the other a blind beggar at every door.
آن یکی ماهی که بر پروین زند	وین یکی کرمی که در سرگین زید
One was a moon striking against the Pleiades, And the other a worm living in dung.
آن یکی یوسف رخی عیسی نفس	وین یکی گرگی و یا خر با جرس
One had the face of Joseph and the breath of Jesus, And the other was a wolf, or a bell-laden donkey.
آن یکی پران شده در لامکان	وین یکی در کاهدان همچون سگان
One had soared into the Placeless (lā-makān), And the other lay in the hayloft like dogs.
با زبان معنوی گل با جعل	این همی گوید که ای گنده بغل
In the spiritual tongue, the rose speaks to the dung-beetle, Saying: "O foul-armpit one,
گر گریزانی ز گلشن بی گمان	هست آن نفرت کمال گلستان
If you flee from the rose garden, without doubt That very revulsion is the perfection of the garden.
غیرت من بر سر تو دورباش	می زند کای خس ازینجا دور باش
My jealous honor strikes a warning over your head: 'O worthless straw, be gone from here!'
ور بیامیزی تو با من ای دنی	این گمان آید که از کان منی
And if you mingle with me, O base one, The suspicion arises that you are from my mine.
بلبلان را جای می زیبد چمن	مر جعل را در چمین خوشتر وطن
The meadow befits nightingales; For the dung-beetle, dung is a better abode.
حق مرا چون از پلیدی پاک داشت	چون سزد بر من پلیدی را گماشت
Since God has kept me pure from filth, How would it be fitting to assign filth to me?
یک رگم زیشان بد و آن را برید	در من آن بدرگ کجا خواهد رسید
One vein of mine was of their kind, and that was severed— Where would that evil vein now reach within me?
یک نشان آدم آن بود از ازل	که ملایک سر نهندش از محل
One sign of Adam from eternity was That the angels bowed their heads to him from their station.
یک نشان دیگر آنک آن بلیس	ننهدش سر که منم شاه و رئیس
Another sign was that Iblis Would not bow to him, saying: 'I am the king and chief.'
پس اگر ابلیس هم ساجد شدی	او نبودی آدم او غیری بدی
So if Iblis too had prostrated himself, He would not have been Adam—he would have been another.
هم سجود هر ملک میزان اوست	هم جحود آن عدو برهان اوست
Both the prostration of every angel is his measure, And the denial of that enemy is his proof.
هم گواه اوست اقرار ملک	هم گواه اوست کفران سگک
The acknowledgment of the angel is his witness, And the ingratitude of that wretch is also his witness.
