بخش ۵۶ - اندر خوردن شراب و خواصّ آن گوید / Section 56 - He Speaks on Drinking Wine and Its Properties

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مر سران را چو طامع و می خواربهر چه دردسر دهم چو خمار
Why should I, like the greedy and the wine-drinker, cause a headache like a hangover?
می چو با رسم در نهاد شودآتش و خاک و آب باد شود
When wine enters the constitution systematically, fire, earth, and water become like wind.
زان برو چار طبع دست نیافتکه سوی هیچکس به پا نشتافت
Therefore, the four temperaments could not overcome it, because it did not rush toward anyone on foot.
هست می در نهاد خود پیوستدر کف پای عقل و بر سر دست
Wine is inherently connected; under the sole of the intellect's foot and on the palm of the hand.
شاه می بر جمال تن چیره ستماه عقل از کمال می خیره ست
The king of wine dominates the beauty of the body; the moon of intellect is dazzled by the perfection of wine.
مایهٔ سنگ گرم و سردان اوستوز پی زر محک مردان اوست
It is the substance of the touchstone for the hot and cold; and like gold, it is the touchstone of men.
از کف پر ز معجز موسیمرده زنده کنست چون عیسی
From a hand full of the miracles of Moses, it is a resurrecter of the dead like Jesus.
مرد را عقل دیده و دادستغذی روح باده و بادست
For man, intellect is vision and justice; the nourishment of the spirit is wine and wind.
زیرکان را درین سرای خرابهیچ غمخواره ای مدان چو شراب
For the astute in this ruined abode, know of no sympathizer like wine.
باده در پیش انده استاده استزانکه غمخوار آدمی باده است
Wine stands up against sorrow, because the sympathizer of mankind is wine.
عقل را گر سوی تو هست شکوهبادهٔ عقل دوست را منکوه
If the intellect holds majesty in your eyes, do not censure the intellect-befriending wine.
از تری تف نشان صفرا اوستوز تبش نقش سوز سودا اوست
Through its moisture, it quenches the heat of yellow bile; and through its heat, it burns away the trace of black bile.
اندرین باغ خوب و راغ فلکاز پی جغد نفس و زاغ فلک
In this beautiful garden and the meadow of the sky, after the owl of the ego and the crow of the heavens,
گل چو بر دست مل به بام دهدتا بدو بوی خویش وام دهد
When the rose gives itself to the hand of wine on the roof, so that it may lend its fragrance to it,
به مشام آنکه گل بینبویداز مشامش نشاط دل روید
To the nostrils of one who has not smelled the rose, the joy of the heart grows from its scent.
هست در راه فکرت عاقلاز پی کشف فطرت غافل
In the path of thought, it is wise; for the discovery of nature, it makes one oblivious.
مدد عشرت جوان مرداننقل حران و ناقد مردان
The aid to the fellowship of the chivalrous, the dessert of the free and the assayer of men.
اندکی زو عزیز و تندارستباز بسیار خوار ازو خوارست
A little of it is dear and health-giving; yet much of it makes the base person even baser.
تا تو او را خوری عزیزش دارچون ترا او خورد بمانش خوار
As long as you consume it, hold it dear; when it consumes you, leave it in disgrace.
دل به احکام دین سپردن بهباده خوردن ز وقف خوردن به
It is better to surrender the heart to the decrees of religion; drinking wine is better than consuming religious endowments.
هر دو چون ره بگیردت به سراطپس چه باده خوری چه وقف رباط
Since both will block your way on the Sirat bridge, then what matters whether you drink wine or consume the endowment of a hospice?
دیده ای کان ز طمع باشد پرکرده داند نشان پای شتر
An eye that is filled with greed sees a pitfall as a camel's footprint.
آیت از روی برد و عقل از رایتو سوی نان هنوز آتش پای
The sign departed from the face, and reason from judgment; you are still ardently pacing toward bread.
آنکه نان رست در دل و جانشباده بی باده خورد مهمانش
He whose bread has grown in his heart and soul, his guest drank wine without wine.
