بخش ۲۴ - اندر نقص دنیا گوید / Section 24 - He Speaks on the Defects of the World

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دنیی ارچه ز حرص دلبر تستدست زی او مبر که مادر تست
Although the world is the beloved of your greed,
Do not reach out your hand to her, for she is your mother.
گر نه ای گبر پس به خوش سخنیشمادر تست چون کنی به زنیش
If you are not an infidel, then despite her sweet talk,
She is your mother; how can you take her as a wife?
همچو قرعه برای فالش دارگه بیندازش و گهی بردار
Treat her like a die for casting lots:
Cast her down at times, and pick her up at times.
گرچه گزدم ز نیش بگزایددارویی را همت به کار آید
Although the scorpion hurts with its sting,
It will still be of use to you for some medicine.
مار اگرچه به خاصیت بدخوستپاسبان درخت صندل اوست
Although the snake is ill-tempered by nature,
It is the guardian of the sandalwood tree.
چون ز بانگ سگان شوی دلتنگسنگ برگیر و ده سگان را سنگ
When you become distressed by the barking of dogs,
Pick up a stone and give the dogs a stone.
وآن سگی را که کرد پای افگارنان بی سوزنش مده زنهار
And that dog that has wounded your foot,
Beware, do not give it bread without a needle.
مورکی را اگر بیازاریچیره گردی به ظلم و خون خواری
If you hurt even a tiny ant,
You will grow bold in tyranny and bloodshed.
از پی رستن از سرای خسانحیله کن لیک بد به کس مرسان
In order to escape from the abode of the vile,
Devise a scheme, but do not bring harm to anyone.
با خسان خود نشست و خاست مکنقطع کردن ز خس رواست مکن
Do not sit or rise with the vile;
Severing ties with the vile is proper, do not avoid it.
پس اگر ناگهی درافتادیسازگاری بهست و دل شادی
But if you suddenly fall among them,
Compatibility and a cheerful heart are better.
باش بر دست راست همچو بهشتدوزخ از دست چپ شناس و کنشت
Stay on the right side, like Paradise;
Recognize Hell and the pagan temple on the left.
باز بر دست راست رو چونانبافر و دست دست دستان مان
Walk on the right hand side again,
With glory and like the hand of Dastan.
راست بر دست راست رو رستیورنه کج رو چو عهد بشکستی
Go straight on the right hand, and you are saved;
Otherwise, you are crooked-walking, having broken the covenant.
من ندیدم سلامتی ز خسانگر تو دیدی سلام من برسان
I have never seen any safety from the vile;
If you have seen it, convey my greetings!
چون ترا گشت نوش وحدت بیشبده آن نوش را به حدت نیش
When the sweet drink of Unity increases for you,
Give that sweet drink with the sharpness of a sting.
