متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

هرکه شد کون پرست بر خیرهگوز یابد ثواب از انجیره
Whoever foolishly worships the backside in vain,
Will receive a fart as a reward from a fig.
چه دهی از پی گذر گه ثفلخرد پیر خود به کودک طفل
Why would you give away your elder intellect to a young child,
For the sake of the passage of dregs?
گر زبر سوش مایهٔ بد اوستهرچه از زیر سو درآمد اوست
If from its upper side is the source of evil,
Whatever entered from the lower side is it.
تن بد را بهاش جان خواهددل نیک تو رایگان خواهد
The price of the bad body is the soul,
While your good heart desires it for free.
خاک پایی چو دیدی اندر پیشباد دستی شوی ز شهوت خویش
When you see dust in front of you,
You become empty-handed from your own lust.
آنکه او نام و ننگ خود بگذاشتدل تو کی نگه تواند داشت
He who has cast aside his own name and reputation,
How could he ever guard or care for your heart?
خصم غماز طبع یافه دراییار خلخال دست زنگله پای
A backbiting adversary of vain-talking nature,
A companion with anklets on hands and bells on feet.
دوست چون زلف زنگیان بدسازبرجهد چون فروکشیش از ناز
A friend as ill-disposed as the hair of Africans,
Who leaps up when you pull them down in coquetry.
چون چراغند از آنکه وقت فدیچون فتیله ز بن خورند غذی
They are like lamps because at the time of sacrifice,
Like a wick, they feed from the base.
تا کم از یک دو مه به کسب مجازنود خویش سی کنند از آز
So that in less than one or two months of deceptive earning,
They turn their ninety into thirty out of greed.
بر شکسته دریده غم خوردنطفل بی مادرست پروردن
Grieving over the broken and torn,
Is like raising a motherless child.
راست گفت آنکه برگشاد گرهبسته گیری به خوی نیکو به
He spoke truly who untied the knot:
'It is better to capture a captive through good character.'
هرکجا دین بود درم نبودروی و خوی نکو بهم نبود
Wherever there is religion, there is no dirham;
A beautiful face and a good character do not go together.
زشت باشد نکو رها کردنیوسفی را بنه بها کردن
It is ugly to abandon the good,
And to barter away a Joseph for a meager price.
چون نه یعقوبی و نه بن یامینزین دعا نشنوی مگر آمین
Since you are neither Jacob nor Benjamin,
You will hear nothing but 'Amen' to this prayer.
نزد آنکس که عقل او خوارستشاهد دل شکر جگر خوارست
To the one whose intellect is despised,
The sweetheart of the heart is a liver-devouring sugar.
