بخش ۱۴ - اندر زهد ریایی / Section 14 - On Hypocritical Asceticism

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

زهد ورزی برای مرداریپس چه گویی که من کیم باری
You practice asceticism for the sake of carrion,
Then what can you say about who you truly are?
تو از این زهد توبه جوی نصوحورنه بی دل روی به عالم روح
Seek sincere repentance from this asceticism,
Otherwise you will go heartless to the world of spirit.
چو تو سقمونیا خوری به نیازآنگه از ریدنت که دارد باز
When you eagerly consume scammony,
Then who can stop you from excreting?
در غم آن دمی که رفت از دستگری و خون گری که جایش هست
In sorrow for that breath which was lost,
Weep, and weep blood, for it is warranted.
دور و نزدیک بی من و با منسطح آبست حافظ روغن
Far and near, without me and with me,
The surface of the water preserves the oil.
آن دبیری که خورد خیره صبررید چندانکه شد چو لاشه دبر
That scribe who obstinately consumed aloe,
Excreted so much that his behind became like a corpse.
باش تا دینش بازخواست کندتا چو خامه چگونه کاست کند
Wait until religion holds him accountable,
To see how he wastes away like a pen.
هرکه جویای عالم غیب استشمع در دست و اشک در جیب است
Whoever is a seeker of the unseen world,
Has a candle in hand and tears in his collar.
تو نه نیکی نه قابل نیکیمرد کاکا و کو کو و کی کی
You are not good, nor capable of goodness,
A man of meaningless babble and clucking.
باش تا نقش عز نماید ذلباش تا عذر جزو خواهد کل
Wait until the mark of honor reveals humiliation,
Wait until the whole demands the excuse of the part.
گلبن از جور دی نماید خارباش تا گل نمایدت به بهار
The rosebush shows thorns from the cruelty of winter,
Wait until it shows you the rose in spring.
فتوی اندر ره فتوت نیستنبوت اندر دم نبوت نیست
Giving decrees is not the way of spiritual chivalry,
Prophethood is not in the breath of prophethood.
چون فلک سال و مه ز نامردیگرد اجرام خویش می گردی
Like the heavens, month and year, out of unmanliness,
You revolve around your own heavenly bodies.
