بخش ۹ - حکایة فی عفوالملک و عدله / Section 9 - A Tale on the Forgiveness and Justice of the King

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

احنف قیس بهر جمعی اسیرگفت کین بستگان بر تو امیر
Ahnaf Qays, on behalf of a group of captives,
Said: "These bound ones are yours, O commander.
گر بحقند بسته حلمت کوور خود از باطلند علمت کو
If they are bound rightfully, where is your forbearance?
And if they are in the wrong, where is your knowledge?
عفو کان هست اصل دینداریاز برای چه روز می داری
Forgiveness, which is the root of piety,
For what day are you saving it?
تو ظفر خواستی خدایت داداو ز تو عفو خواست ناری یاد
You asked for victory, God gave it to you;
He asked you for forgiveness, do you not remember?
هست نزد خدای و خلق ای شاهشکر قدرت قبول عذر گناه
Before God and the people, O King,
Gratitude for power is accepting the excuse for a sin."
علم او نوش حلمشان بچشیدعلم او بار جرمشان بکشید
His knowledge tasted the nectar of their forbearance,
His knowledge bore the burden of their crime.
