بخش ۵۲ - حکایت / Section 52 - A Tale

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن شنیدی که گفت دمسازیبا قرینی از آن خود رازی
Have you heard what a companion said,
Sharing a secret with a close friend of his?
گفت کین راز تا نگویی بازگفت خود کی شنیده ام ز تو راز
He said, 'Do not repeat this secret.'
The other replied, 'When indeed have I heard a secret from you?
شرری بود کز هوا پژمرداز تو زاد آن زمان و در من مرد
It was a spark that withered away from the air;
It was born from you in that moment, and died within me.'
سر ز نامحرمان نهان بایدورنه محرم چو بشنود شاید
A secret must be hidden from strangers,
Otherwise, if an intimate hears it, it is appropriate.
دوست محرم بود به راز و نیازپیش محرم برهنه باید راز
A friend is an intimate for secrets and supplication;
Before an intimate, a secret must be naked.
در ره سیل و رودها خفتهسخن گفته به که ناگفته
To those sleeping in the path of floods and rivers,
A spoken word is better than an unspoken one.
راز جز پیش عاقلان مگشایدل خود جز به اهل دل منمای
Do not open a secret except before the wise;
Do not show your heart except to the people of heart.
آن نبینی که تخمها در گلننماید به هیچ ظالم دل
Do you not see that seeds in the clay
Do not show their heart to any oppressor?
کم ز خاکی و خاک نعمت سازاز زمستان نهفته دارد راز
You are less than dust; yet dust, the maker of blessings,
Keeps its secret hidden from the winter.
چون هوا دست عدل بگشایدراز و دل جمله خاک بنماید
When the spring air opens the hand of justice,
The dust reveals all its secrets and its heart.
راز در زیرکان نهان باشدزانکه هشیار بدگمان باشد
A secret remains hidden within the wise,
For the vigilant one is wary.
هرکه در روز راز گسترده ستابجد از لوح عقل بسترده ست
Whoever spreads secrets in the light of day
Has erased the alphabet from the tablet of intellect.
سر والشمس چون دلش دریافتنه ز واللیل بدروار بتافت
When his heart grasped the secret of 'By the Sun,'
He did not turn away like the full moon from 'By the Night.'
گفت کین سوز پرده ساز منستشب معراج روز راز منست
He said, 'This burning is my curtain-maker;
The night of ascension is my day of secrets.'
