بخش ۲۹ - فی ترک المخالطة مع‌الاوباش / Section 29 - On Abandoning Association with the Rabble

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

خلق جز مکر و بند و پیچ نیندهمه را آزمودم ایچ نیند
People are nothing but deceit, traps, and twists;
I have tested them all, they are nothing at all.
گر همه در برت فرو ریزدمرد عاقل درو نیاویزد
Even if everyone pours out before you,
A wise man will not cling to them.
گر نه ای همچو مه به نور گروهمچو خورشید باش تنها رو
If you are not indebted to light like the moon,
Be like the sun, walk alone.
مهر پیوسته یک سواره بودماه باشد که با ستاره بود
The sun is always a lone rider,
It is the moon that is with the stars.
هرکه تنها روی کند عادتهمچو خورشید شب کند غارت
Whoever makes a habit of walking alone,
Plunders the night like the sun.
مرد را دلشکسته دارد جفتتیر را پای بسته دارد جفت
A companion keeps a man broken-hearted,
A companion keeps the arrow tied down.
با چنین تیرها و جوشنهادانکه تنها ترا به از تن ها
With such arrows and armors,
Know that being alone is better for you than being with others.
ملک عالم به زیر تنهاییستمرد تنها نشان زیباییست
The kingdom of the world is beneath solitude,
A solitary man is the sign of beauty.
با کسان در نگاهداشت بویبا خود آسوده شام و چاشت بوی
If you are with others, you are constantly on guard,
With yourself, you are at peace evening and morning.
جفت باشی خدای ندهد بارفرد باشی خدای باشد یار
If you are paired, God does not grant an audience;
If you are single, God will be your Friend.
چون تو تنها نشینی از سرو بنبا خودت هرچه آرزو می کن
When you sit alone apart from the base of the cypress,
Wish whatever you desire with yourself.
چون تو تنها بوی ز نیک و ز بدکم ز تیزی بود نیاری زد
When you are alone from good and bad,
You will not suffer from sharpness.
چون دلت شد به فرد بودن شادتیز بی شرم کس به یاری داد
When your heart became happy in being solitary,
A shameless sharpness offered help.
گرد توحید گرد با تفریدچه کنی صحبتی که آن تقلید
Circle around Unity through isolation;
Why do you keep company that is mere imitation?
به دمی از تو اندر آویزدپس به بادی هم از تو بگریزد
For a moment they cling to you,
Then with a breeze they flee from you.
تا همی در تو نیک خود بیندبا تو یک دم به رفق بنشیند
As long as they see their own benefit in you,
They sit with you gently for a moment.
گر شود والعیاذ باللٰه بدتا چه بینی ازو به جان و خرد
If, God forbid, things get bad,
What will you see from them in soul and mind!
دل نخواهد ترا ز دل بگسلبر بخیلان بخیل بهتر دل
If a heart does not want you, break away from that heart,
Against the stingy, a stingy heart is better.
در دهان دار تا بود خندانچون گرانی کند بکن دندان
Keep the tooth in your mouth as long as it is smiling,
When it causes heaviness, pull it out.
هرکه ما را نخواهد از همه دلگر همه دل بود از او بگسل
Whoever does not want us with all their heart,
Even if they are all heart, break away from them.
چکنی با حریف بی معنیبس ندیم تو شعر چون شعری
What will you do with a meaningless companion?
Poetry is enough of a companion for you.
بس جلیست کتاب با خردتتا نگوید به خلق نیک و بدت
A book is an open companion with your wisdom,
So that it does not tell people your good and bad.
عزبی به که جفت کوته بینماه تنها به از دو صد پروین
Celibacy is better than a short-sighted mate,
The lone moon is better than two hundred Pleiades.
هرکجا داغ بایدت فرمودچون تو مرهم نهی ندارد سود
Wherever you must apply a brand to cauterize,
When you apply an ointment instead, it is of no use.
هرزه دان هم شریف و هم خس راکو یکی کو یکی بود کس را
Consider as useless both the noble and the base;
Where is one, where is one who is a real person?
کو در این روزگار یار بیاربر که باشیم استوار بیار
Where in this age is a friend? Bring one!
Upon whom can we rely? Bring them!
اهل این روزگار بی سر و بناز برای نو و ز بهر کهن
The people of this age are without foundation;
For the sake of the new and for the sake of the old,
دوستی از پی درم دارندزهر و پازهر را به هم دارند
They maintain friendship for the sake of money.
They hold poison and antidote together.
گرچه خوش بوی و روی و خوش گله اندزود سیرند و تنگ حوصله اند
Although they have a pleasant smell, face, and herd,
They are quickly satiated and have narrow patience.
رنج کاران و گنج لاشانندزر نگهدار و راز پاشانند
They work for pain and hoard wealth like corpses;
They guard their gold and spill secrets.
مرد صورت پرست کس نبودهوش او جز سوی هوس نبود
A form-worshiping man is not a real person;
His intellect is directed toward nothing but lust.
روز نیکی چه خوش بود با توچون بدی دید بد شود با تو
On a good day, how pleasant he is with you,
When he sees bad, he becomes bad with you.
چون تو از ابلهان گزینی یاریار غار تو عار باشد عار
When you choose a friend from among fools,
Your intimate friend will be a disgrace, a disgrace.
یار عاقل اگرچه بدساز استچون درای شتر خوش آوازست
An intelligent friend, even if difficult to get along with,
Is like a camel bell, sweet-sounding.
جملهٔ درد خویش شویی بهیار درخورد خویش جویی به
It is better to wash all your own pain,
It is better to seek a friend worthy of yourself.
نیک و بد دان در این سپنج سرایجفت بد دست یار ناهمتای
Know the good and bad in this transient inn;
A bad mate, an unequaled friend.
این یکی نای نی کند به دو دموآن دگر پای پی ز بهر شکم
This one plays the reed pipe with two breaths,
And that other follows the foot for the sake of the belly.
یار نادان اگر ز روی نیازهم چو داود برکشد آواز
An ignorant friend, if out of need,
Raises his voice like David,
صوت او موت روح احرارستفوت او غوث مردم آزارست
His voice is the death of the souls of the free,
His death is the relief of tormentors.
شاخ ماذون چو پر گره باشدمرگش از برگ و بار به باشد
When a branch is full of knots,
Its death is better than its leaves and fruit.
بیخ نردی که راست شاخ بودسال تنگی دلش فراخ بود
The root of a board that has straight branches,
In a year of hardship, its heart is expansive.
هرکرا هست دوستی دم سازبه شهی در جهان دهد آواز
Whoever has an intimate friend,
Proclaims kingship in the world.
من به عالم درون نمی دانمدوستی زان همیشه حیرانم
I do not know anyone in this world,
As a true friend, therefore I am always bewildered.
