بخش ۱۱ - در مذمت شهوت راندن / Section 11 - On the Condemnation of Indulging in Lust

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شهوت ار جانت باره باز کندبر تو کار بتان دراز کند
If lust turns your soul into its steed,
It will prolong your affair with idols [beauties].
گرچه از چهره عالم افروزنداز شره دل درند و جان دوزند
Even though their faces illuminate the world,
Through greed, they tear the heart and pierce the soul.
همه در بند کام خویشتندعاشقان پیششان همه شمنند
They are all captives of their own desires,
Lovers before them are all idol-worshippers.
از پی دردی روانها راچشمشان رخنه کرده جانها را
In pursuit of the dregs of the spirits,
Their eyes have breached the souls.
ببرند آبروی دولت جمزان دو زلف و دو ابروی پر خم
They strip away the honor of Jamshid's dominion,
With those two tresses and two deeply curved eyebrows.
بر دو رخ زلفها گوا دارندکه نیند آدمی پری مارند
Upon their cheeks, their tresses bear witness,
That they are not human or fairy; they are snakes.
همه دیوند و ظن چنان دارندکه ز حورا شرف همان دارند
They are all demons, yet they presume,
That they possess the honor of heavenly houris.
مار با گیسویند مشتی ترزهر در یشک و مهره نی در سر
They are snakes with tresses, a deceitful bunch,
Poison in their fangs, with no antidote bead in their heads.
کرده از قفل زلف مرغولانبهر دولی و فتنهٔ دولان
Having made locks from their curled tresses,
For the sake of deception and the seduction of the wealthy,
صدهزاران کلید با زنجیرهمه بر چین چو روی بدر منیر
A hundred thousand keys with chains,
All gathered on a face like the shining full moon.
جعد مقتول جان گسل باشدزلف مرغول غول دل باشد
The twisted lock is a soul-severer,
The curled tress is the ghoul of the heart.
زین نکویان یکی ز روی عتابپشت غم را خمی دهد ز نهاب
One of these beauties, out of reproach,
Will bend the back of sorrow through plunder.
