بخش ۴۸ - نامه نوشتن قیصر بشاه سپاهان / Section 48 - Caesar Writing a Letter to the King of Isfahan

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بگفت این و دبیری را بفرمودکه کلکش از عطارد گوی بربود
He said this and gave orders to a scribe, whose reed-pen had won the prize from Mercury.
دبیر شاه چون بگرفت خامهبنام حق مزین کرد نامه
When the king’s scribe took up the pen, he adorned the letter with the name of the Truth.
خداوندی که دور از چند و چونستدو عالم را بکلی رهنمونست
The Lord who is beyond all how and why, who is the absolute guide of both worlds.
جهانداری که این چرخ کهن ساختخرد را دایهٔ طفل سخن ساخت
The world-sovereign who fashioned this ancient wheel of heaven, and made intellect the nurse of the infant of speech.
نکوکاری که عالم کرد موجودکه درعالم نبودش هیچ مقصود
The benefactor who brought the world into existence, though He had no selfish purpose in the universe.
جز او اندر حقیقت دیگری نیسترهش را حد و ملکش را سری نیست
In truth, there is no other besides Him; His path has no boundary and His kingdom has no end.
جهان از ظل فضلش را نجاتستسر مویی ز فضلش کایناتست
The world finds salvation in the shadow of His grace; a single hair’s breadth of His grace is the entire cosmos.
زانجم، شمع جان افروز آردگهی شب را برد، گه روز آرد
From the stars He brings forth the soul-illuminating candle; sometimes He takes away the night, sometimes He brings the day.
زنی، شکر، زتود اطلس نگاردز کس، ناکس، زناکس، کس برآرد
From a reed He produces sugar, from the mulberry leaf He weaves satin; He makes a nobody out of a somebody, and raises a somebody from a nobody.
بسی در وصف او تصنیف کردندبسی با یکدگر تعریف کردند
Many have composed works in His praise, and many have described Him to one another.
هزاران قرن میکردند فکرتبآخر با سرامد عجز و حیرت
For thousands of centuries they pondered, yet in the end, it concluded only in helplessness and wonder.
ازان پس گفت عیسی را ثناییمسیحی، پاک روحی، پاک رایی
Thereafter, he offered praise to Jesus—the Messiah of pure spirit and pure mind.
بدان ای شاه سر از خط کشیدهکه در روی زمین هیچ آفریده
Know, O king who has strayed from the path of obedience, that no creature on the face of the earth
ندارد تاب کین ما زمانیکه مینازند از مهرم جهانی
Has the strength to withstand our vengeance for even a moment, while a whole world takes pride in our favor.
زنسل شاه ذوالقرنین ماییمشه و شهزادهٔ ثقلین ماییم
We are of the lineage of King Dhul-Qarnayn; we are the sovereign and prince of both worlds.
تو دانی پایگاه ما که چندستفلک نرسد بما گرچه بلندست
You know how exalted our station is; the heavens cannot reach us, lofty though they are.
دران میدان که آنجا جنبش ماستفلک چون گوی، سرگردان آنجاست
In the arena where we move, the celestial sphere is bewildered like a rolling ball.
منم شاهی که خورشیدم نگینستچه جای ملکت روی زمینست
I am a king whose signet stone is the sun; what place is there then for the kingdoms of the earth?
اگر خشمی برانم، دوزخ آنجاستشود آبی و گردد، چون یخ آنجاست
If I unleash my wrath, hell is manifest there; water turns to ice or ice melts away under it.
مکن، خود را ز خسرو خشم مرسانسپاهان را چو سرمه چشم مرسان
Do not bring wrath upon yourself because of Khosrow; do not reduce Isfahan to dust like kohl for the eyes.
روان کن آن سمنبر را بر منبترس از دارو گیر لشگر من
Send that jasmine-breasted beauty to me; fear the onslaught of my army.
که گردی بیقرار از تو برآریمکم از یکدم دمار از تو برآریم
For we will make you restless and bring about your ruin in less than a breath.
چو نامه سر بمهر خسروان شدبدست پیک دادند و روان شد
When the letter was sealed with the seal of monarchs, they delivered it to a messenger, and he departed.
روان شد پیک خوش رو تا سپاهانبقصر شاه آمد صبحگاهان
The fair-faced messenger set off towards Isfahan and arrived at the king's palace at dawn.
