بخش ۱۴ - پند مأمون به فرزند خویش / Section 14 - Mamun's Advice to His Son

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

با پسر گفت یک شبی مأمونکای در اقبال و بخت روزافزون
One night Mamun said to his son,
'O you whose fortune and luck are ever-increasing,
چون رسد نوبت خلافت توحرص دنیا مباد آفت تو
When your turn for the caliphate arrives,
May the greed for the world not be your bane.
هر که را از خلیفگی خداینشود سیر نفس بد فرمای
Whoever, from God's caliphate,
Whose evil-commanding self is not satiated,
سیر مشکل شود ازان زر و سیمکه کشد گه ز بیوه گه ز یتیم
Will hardly be satiated by that gold and silver
Which he extorts sometimes from the widow and sometimes from the orphan.'
