بخش ۱۳ - در ذکر قوای حاسّه و حافظه / Section 13 - On the Mention of the Sensory Faculties and Memory

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

نفس کو مر ترا چو جان دارستبی تو در جسم تو بسی کارست
The soul, which keeps you alive,
Has much work to do in your body without you.
گرچه آن پنج شحنه بی کارندسه وکیل از درونت بیدارند
Even though those five watchmen [external senses] are idle,
Three deputies within you remain awake.
آن کند هضم و این کند قسمتآن برد ثفل و این نهد نعمت
One digests and another distributes,
One removes the dregs and another places the bounty.
آن نماید ره این کند تدبیراین شود حافظ آن کند تعبیر
One shows the path, another devises plans,
This one acts as preserver [memory], that one interprets.
آن نبینی که چون به خواب شویفارغ از زحمت و عذاب شوی
Do you not see that when you go to sleep,
You become free from trouble and torment?
از برای فراغت و خوابتوز برای صلاح و اسبابت
For the sake of your leisure and sleep,
And for the sake of your well-being and affairs,
اندرین خاکدان ز آتش و بادز آب روی تو برد خاک نژاد
In this earthly abode of fire and wind,
Your earthly nature has carried away your honor.
تا ترا بر سریر سر خردبنشاند ز بهر راحت خود
So that upon the throne of the secret of intellect,
It seats you for your own comfort.
تو بر آسوده و خرد بر کارتو بخفته درونت او بیدار
You are at rest and the intellect is at work;
You are asleep, yet within you, it is awake.
