بخش ۳۲ - در تعهّد علمای دیندار / Section 32 - On the Commitment of Religious Scholars

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

علما جز امین دین نبوندچون نیابند امان امین نبوند
Scholars are none but the trustees of religion,
When they do not find safety, they are not trustees.
چشم سر ملک و چشم سر دین استآن جهان بین و این نهان بین است
The eye of the head is the state, and the eye of the secret is religion,
That one is world-seeing, and this one is hidden-seeing.
این و آن هردو یار یکدگرندهم خزان هم بهار یکدگرند
This and that are both companions to one another,
They are both the autumn and the spring to one another.
ملک و دین را سری که بی خردستراست چون حال دیوچه و نمدست
For state and religion, a head that is without intellect,
Is exactly like the condition of a moth and felt.
سد خردان ز روی لاد آمدسد دولت سداد و داد آمد
The barrier of the wise came from the foundation,
The barrier of the state came from rectitude and justice.
ملک و دین را در این جهان و در آنصدق و عدل است روی و پشتیوان
For state and religion in this world and in that,
Truthfulness and justice are the face and support.
شاه را چون سداد نبود یارملک او باد دان به ملک مدار
When rectitude is not the companion of the king,
Consider his kingdom as wind, do not rely on his kingdom.
هرکجا صدق دین و دل زنده ستهرکجا عدل، ملک پاینده ست
Wherever the truth of religion and the heart is alive,
Wherever there is justice, the kingdom is enduring.
شاه چون جفت داد گشت و سدادورنه ملکش بود چو ملکت عاد
When the king becomes paired with justice and rectitude [he prospers],
Otherwise, his kingdom will be like the kingdom of 'Ad.
نه بگفته است صادق الوعدیکاقتدوا بالذین من بعدی
Did not the True to the Promise say,
'Follow those who are after me'?
چون به صدق و به عدل هر دو به همعقد بستند کار شد محکم
When with truthfulness and justice, both together,
They tied the knot, the work became firm.
هردو یکتا شدند از پی سودبی زیان اقتدا درست نمود
Both became singular for the sake of profit,
Without harm, following became correct.
نه بمانده است زنده جاویدانجور مروان و عدل نوشروان
Has it not remained alive eternally,
The oppression of Marwan and the justice of Nushirvan?
ملک دو جهان به زیر پای آریگر هوا را ز دست بگذاری
You will bring the kingdom of both worlds under your feet,
If you let go of desire from your hand.
هرکه پرهیزگار و خرسندستتا دو گیتی است او خداوندست
Whoever is pious and content,
As long as the two worlds exist, he is a lord.
چون خرد افسر و تقی شد گاهخواندت جبرئیل شاهنشاه
When intellect becomes the crown and piety becomes the throne,
Gabriel will call you Emperor.
