متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چو خود بر لوح زنگاری قلم زدسپر بود و زتیغ خود علم زد
When the sun drew its pen upon the rust-colored tablet,
It set up a shield and raised a banner with its sword.
درآمد پیک پیش شاه حالیبداد آن نامه را در جای خالی
At that moment, the messenger entered before the king,
And delivered that letter in a private space.
چو شاه آن نامه را برخواند یکسردلش آشفته گشت از شاه قیصر
When the king read that letter completely,
His heart became troubled by Caesar.
شه عالی صفت را بی خرد خواندبخواری پیک را از پیش خود راند
He called the high-minded king foolish,
And drove the messenger away from him with contempt.
بزودی ره برید آن پیک خوش رودرآمد همچو بادی پیش خسرو
The good-looking messenger quickly traveled the road,
And entered before Khosrow like the wind.
ز بیدادی آن شاهش خبر کردشه از خشمش جهانی را حشر کرد
He informed him of that king's injustice;
In his anger, the king gathered a world of host.
نه چندان خلق گرد آورد قیصرکه چندان خلق، باشد روز محشر
Caesar did not gather so many people
That there would be as many on the Day of Resurrection.
همه صحرا و دشت از مردپرگشتنیافت از خلق سوزن جای در دشت
All the desert and plain became filled with men;
No needle could find a place on the ground due to the crowd.
ز ریگ و برگ، لشکر را عدد بیشز هر سوییش هر ساعت مدد بیش
The army's number was greater than sands and leaves,
From every side, reinforcements arrived every hour.
ز چرخ ار سوزن عیسی فتادیندانم تا زمینش راه دادی
If the needle of Jesus fell from the heavens,
I know not if the earth would have allowed it to land.
