متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

بود وقتی منجمی کاناهمچو اهل زمانه نابینا
There was once a foolish astrologer,
Blind, like the people of the age.
پادشاهی ورا به خدمت خواندگاه و بی گاه پیش خود بنشاند
A king called him into service,
And sat him before himself time and again.
پادشا مر ورا سؤالی کردمشکلش از ره محالی کرد
The king asked him a question,
Posing a difficulty to him in an impossible way.
پادشا زیرک و جهان بین بودظاهر و باطنش پر از دین بود
The king was wise and world-seeing,
His outward and inward state was full of faith.
گفت روزی برای خود بگزینرو به تقویم حال خویش ببین
He said, 'Choose a day for yourself,
Go look at the almanac for your own state.
آن زمان کت همه کمال بودکوکب نحس در وبال بود
Find that moment when your perfection is complete,
When the ominous star is in detriment,
طالعت را همه شرف باشدحال تو بر تو منکشف باشد
When your ascendant is in full honor,
And your state is revealed to you.
هیچ نکبت نباشدت پیداخیز و دل شادمانه پیش من آ
When no misfortune is apparent to you,
Rise and come to me with a joyful heart,
تاترا خلعتی دهم در خورتا شود فقر و فاقه ات کمتر
So that I may give you a fitting robe of honor,
And that your poverty and need may be lessened.'
مرد ابله برفت و روز گزیدوآنچه مقصود شاه بود ندید
The foolish man went and chose a day,
And did not see what the king's true purpose was.
بامدادی بر شه آمد زودکه از آن بهترینش روز نبود
One morning, he came to the king early,
Thinking there was no day better than that.
شاه چون دید مرد را دلشادصد در از رنج و غم برو بگشاد
When the king saw the man so joyful,
He opened a hundred doors of pain and grief upon him.
گفت در حال گردنش بزنیدبسته ویرا ز پیش من بکشید
He said, 'Behead him immediately,
And drag him away bound from my presence.'
مرد دژخیم مر ورا بکشیدبرد واندر زمان سرش ببرید
The executioner dragged him away,
Took him and cut off his head in that very moment.
می ندانست روز نیک از بدبود تقلید امام او نه خرد
He did not know a good day from a bad one;
Imitation was his leader, not intellect.
