متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ز شهرآرای چون بگذشت یک ماهبسوی باغ شد یکماه آن شاه
When one month had passed since Shahr-ara,
the king set off towards the garden for a month.
برون از شهر باغی داشت خسروکه در خوبی بهشتش بود پس رو
Khosrow possessed a garden outside the city,
in whose beauty Paradise was left behind.
کشیده سی چمن، در روضهٔ اوفگنده گل، عرق در حوضهٔ او
Thirty lawns stretched across its sanctuary,
where the rose cast its sweat into the pool.
چه حوضی، روشنی آفتابشگلابی در عرق استاده آبش
What a pool! Its clarity was like the sun,
its water stood like rosewater in perspiration.
بهرسوی چمن آب روان بودریاحین چمن سیراب ازان بود
Flowing water ran on every side of the lawn,
making the herbs of the garden saturated with it.
کشیده سر بسر در سرو آزادببسته ره بزیر بید و شمشاد
The free cypresses stretched head to head,
blocking the path beneath the willow and boxwood.
همی چندان که بالای چمن بودچنار و سرو و بید و نارون بود
As far as the height of the lawn reached,
there were plane trees, cypresses, willows, and elms.
چنان پربار بودی شاخسارانکه بروی بسته بودی راه باران
The branches were so heavily laden with leaves
that they blocked the path of the rain.
ز بس چستی شاخ دل گزینشندیدی آسمان روی زمینش
Due to the density of its delightful branches,
the sky could not see the face of the earth below.
کنار چویبارش سبز خط بودمیان او بسی طاوس و بط بود
The edge of its stream was a green line,
with many peacocks and ducks in its midst.
بپیش باغ قصری چون بهشتیز نقره خشتی از زرنیز خشتی
Before the garden stood a palace like heaven,
built with one brick of silver and another of gold.
نهاده تخت زرینش ز هر سویبگرد حوض و ایوان روی در روی
Its golden thrones were placed on every side,
around the pool and portico, face to face.
ز صد در جامه گوناگون فگندهبساط از اطلس و اکسون فگنده
A hundred kinds of garments were spread out,
carpets of satin and black silk laid down.
ز هر در ساخته چندان تجملکه نتوان کرد شرح آن تجمل
From every door, such luxury was prepared
that one cannot fully describe its splendor.
سرایی بود ایوان برکشیدهسر او تا بکیوان برکشیده
It was a mansion with an elevated portico,
its height reaching up to Saturn.
بپیش درش از فیروزه، تختیمرصع کرده از یاقوت لختی
Before its door was a throne of turquoise,
inlaid with a portion of ruby.
مشبک قبهٔ زرین والاکه مشک ریزه باریدی ز بالا
A latticed golden dome of high status
from which fine musk rained down from above.
بهر ساعت نثار مشک کردینه زان بودی کزان خوی خشک کردی
Every hour it showered musk,
not in a way that would dry out one's temperament.
کنارش را خراج هفت اقلیممیانش خشتی از زر خشتی از سیم
Its boundary was worth the tribute of the seven climes,
its middle made of a brick of gold and a brick of silver.
نه چندان فرش و بستر بود و جامهکه شرحش نقش داند کرد خامه
There were so many carpets, bedding, and garments
that the pen cannot paint their description.
سرایی چون نگارستان چین بودسرای گل ز بهر خلوت این بود
It was a house like the picture-gallery of China;
this was Gol's house for privacy.
نشسته گل چو ماهی بر سر تختستاده ماهرویان در بر تخت
Gol was seated like a moon upon the throne,
with moon-faced beauties standing beside the throne.
یکی تاج مرصع بر سر اویکی دیبای ازرق در بر او
A jeweled crown was upon her head,
and a robe of blue silk upon her body.
هزاران سرو بر پای ایستادهخرد بر پای ایشان سر نهاده
Thousands of cypress-like maids stood on their feet,
before whose feet intellect laid its head.
جهان راستی بازلفشان پیچجهان جادویی با چشمشان هیچ
The world of rectitude was twisted by their tresses,
the world of magic was nothing against their eyes.
نقاب از شرمشان افگنده بر ماهشکر از لعلشان افتاده در راه
Modesty cast a veil over the moon from their faces,
sugar fell on the path from their ruby lips.
همه در پیش گل بر پای ماندهبدیده روی گل بر جای مانده
All stood on their feet before Gol,
remaining transfixed as they gazed upon her face.
شبانگاهی درآمد شاهزادهبگلرخ گفت هین ای ماه زاده
At nightfall, the prince entered
and said to the rose-cheeked one: 'Behold, O moon-born one!
میی در ده که فردا هست نوروزبباید ساختن جشنی دل افروز
Give me wine, for tomorrow is Nowruz,
we must make a heart-warming celebration.
کنون باری بیا تا امشبی خوشبهم جشنی بسازیم ای پریوش
For now, come, so that tonight, happily,
we may hold a feast together, O fairy-faced one.
همه روی زمین آب زلالستهمه روی هوا باد شمالست
The whole face of the earth is pure water,
the whole face of the air is the northern breeze.
بروی دشت افگن دیده ای دوستکه مغز پسته بیرون آمد از پوست
Cast your eyes upon the plain, O friend,
for the pistachio kernel has emerged from its shell.
ز سنگ خاره آتش جست بیرونسر کهسار شد از لاله پرخون
Fire has leaped out of the granite stone,
the mountaintop has become blood-red with tulips.
جهان تازهست و ایام بهارستسماعی خوش شرابی خوشگوارست
The world is fresh and it is the season of spring;
a pleasant spiritual concert and sweet wine are here.
درین موسم تماشا ناگزیرستکه با زاری مرغ آواز زیرست
In this season, sightseeing is indispensable,
accompanied by the bird's lament and high-pitched song.'
درین بودند با هم آن دو سرمستکه روز از شب گریزان رخت بر بست
The two intoxicated ones were engaged in this,
when the day packed its bags, fleeing from the night.
فرود آمد شه خورشید ناگاهز پشت نقره خنگ چرخ برگاه
The king of the sun suddenly descended
from the back of the white steed of the sphere onto his throne.
شه زرینه رخ فرزینه رفتارپیاده شد ز اسپ پیل کردار
The golden-faced, wise-moving king
dismounted from his elephant-like horse.
ز چرخ وسمه رنگ و نیل اندودچو ابروی مه نو روی بنمود
From the indigo-stained, woad-colored sky,
the new moon showed its face like an eyebrow.
سیه پوشان شب لشکر کشیدهز ماهی تا بمه سر بر کشیده
The black-clad forces of night drew their army,
stretching head to head from the fish to the moon.
برفتن روز شبدیزی نمودهگذشته روز و شب تیزی نموده
The departing day showed a night-colored horse,
the day passed and the night showed its swiftness.
