متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

الا ای در دریای معالی	مدار از بکر معنی حجره خالی
O pearl of the sea of high virtues, Do not keep the chamber of virgin meaning empty.
هزاران بکر زیر پرده داری	چرا از پرده بیرون مینیاری
Thousands of virgins you hold behind the curtain, Why do you not bring them out from behind the curtain?
ترا دوشیزگان بسیار هستند	بگو کز پردهشان بیرون فرستند
You have many maidens; Tell them to send them out from behind the curtain.
اگر بنمایی آن دوشیزگان را	بجلوه آرم آن پاکیزگان را
If you show those maidens, I shall bring those pure ones into display.
عروسانی که در عشقند سرمست	برون آور سبک روح و سبک دست
Brides who are intoxicated in love, Bring out light of soul and swift of hand.
ز سر درجلوه ده نوع سخن را	که در رشک افگنی چرخ کهن را
From the beginning, bring into display ten types of speech, So that you throw the ancient sphere into envy.
چنین گفت آن سخندان سخنور	که از شاخ سخن بودش سخن بر
Thus spoke that eloquent orator, Who gathered the fruit of speech from the branch of speech:
که چون گل کرد بر هرمز نگاهی	سیه شد روز هرمز از نگاهی
That when Gol cast a glance at Hormoz, Hormoz's day became dark from a single glance.
یقین دانست گل کان مرغ سرکش	بدام افتاد از آن حور پریوش
Gol knew for certain that that rebellious bird Fell into the trap of that fairy-faced houri.
رها کردش بدام و پای برداشت	چو دانه در زمین بر جای بگذاشت
She left him in the trap and lifted her foot, Leaving him behind like a seed in the ground.
چو مرغی منقلب میگشت بر بام	بآخر چون فتادش مرغ در دام
He was turning over like a bird on the roof, Since at last the bird fell into her trap.
دهان پر خنده پیش دایه آمد	چو خورشیدی بپیش سایه آمد
With a mouth full of laughter, she came to her nurse; Like a sun, she came before a shadow.
زاندامش برون میجست آتش	رخی تازه لبی خندان دلی خوش
Fire was leaping out from her limbs, With a fresh face, smiling lips, and a happy heart.
رخ چون کاه او گشته چو ماهی	وزان شادی جهان بروی چو کاهی
Her straw-pale face had become like a moon, And from that joy, the world seemed as light as straw to her.
چو گل در پوست میگنجید با دوست	دلش چون گل نمیگنجید در پوست
While Gol could fit in her skin with her friend, Her heart, like a flower, could not contain itself within its skin.
چو دایه آن چنان دیدش عجب داشت	که تا گل خود چرا پر خنده لب داشت
When the nurse saw her thus, she wondered Why Gol had lips so full of laughter.
بگل گفتا نمیدانم که از چیست	که گل خندید یک ساعت نه بگریست
She said to Gol: 'I know not why it is That Gol laughed for an hour and did not weep.
ندانستم ترا چندین دلیریست	بدین روزت ندانم این چه شیریست
I knew not you had such boldness; On this day of yours, I know not what bravery this is.
ز بس گرمی ز تو آتش بیاید	هلاهین بوکت اکنون خوش بیاید
From so much warmth, fire comes from you; Perhaps even poison would now taste sweet to you.
گشاد ابروت از جانم گره زود	که ابروی تو یکدم بی گره بود
Your open brow quickly untied the knot from my soul, For your brow was not without a knot for a single moment.
چه خندانی بگو احوالت ای دوست	که گل از خنده بیرون آید از پوست
Why are you laughing? Tell me your state, my friend, For Gol comes out of her skin from laughter.
بگو تا از چه لب پرخنده داری	که جان دایه از دل زنده داری
Tell me why your lips are so full of laughter, So that you keep the nurse's soul alive from the heart.'
گلش گفت این زمانم از زمانه	یکی تیر آمد آخر بر نشانه
Gol said to her: 'At this very moment, from time, An arrow has finally struck the target.
شدم بر بام و دیدم روی هرمز	بدان خوبی ندیدم روی هرگز
I went upon the roof and saw the face of Hormoz; I have never seen a face of such beauty.
شدم بر بام کار خویش کردم	دل او چون دل خود ریش کردم
I went upon the roof and did my work; I wounded his heart just as my own heart was wounded.
بزه کردم کمان دار و گیرش	کشیدم آنگهی در تنگ تیرش
I strung the bow of capture And drew him tightly into my arrow's range.
بزلفم کردمش داغ جگر سوز	از آن زلفم سیه تا بست امروز
With my tresses I gave him a liver-burning brand; For that reason, my tresses are bound in black today.
جگر میخوردمش او میندانست	جگر رنگی لعل من از آنست
I was consuming his liver while he did not know; The ruby color of my lips is from that.
بچشمان خون دل پالودم از وی	از آن شد غمزه خون آلودم از وی
With my eyes I filtered the heart's blood from him; That is why my glance became blood-stained from him.
ز هرمز آنچنان بردم دل از تن	که هرمز برد پیش از من دل از من
I stole the heart from Hormoz's body in such a way As Hormoz had stolen my heart from me before.
چو با هرمز بهم دیدار کردیم	حسابی راست چون طیار کردیم
When we met face-to-face with Hormoz, We settled the account straight, like a swift counter.
گلی در آب کردم من گلی او	دلی من بردم از هرمز دلی او
I threw a rose into the water, and so did he; I took a heart from Hormoz, and so did he.
یکی دادم یکی بردم بخانه	ندارد جنگ کاری در میانه
I gave one, and I took one home; There is no conflict in this matter.
حسابی راست کرد امروز هرمز	کنون ماهی منم سی روز هرمز
Hormoz settled a straight account today; Now I am the moon, and Hormoz is my thirty days.
ز تو این کار برنامد بصد بار	بدست خویش باید کرد هر کار
This work did not come from you in a hundred times; One must do every task with one's own hand.
دلش بربودم و بازش ندادم	گلم من زین چنین خارش نهادم
I stole his heart and did not return it; I am Gol, and I have placed such a thorn in him.
یکی می خوردهام با یار امروز	دو بهره کردهام من کار امروز
I have drunk wine with my beloved today; I have done two shares of today's work.
چنانش بند کردم در زمانی	که نتواند گشاد آن را جهانی
I bound him in such a way in an instant That a whole world cannot untie it.
اگرچه از بر گل دور بود او	بغمزه لعب شیرینم نمود او
Although he was far from Gol, With a glance, he showed me sweet play.
کرشمه کرد با من در نهانی	تو ای دایه نیی عاشق چه دانی
With me he coquetted in secret; You, O nurse, are not a lover, what do you know?
بخواند بلبل از گل داستانها	ولی مرغان شناسند آن زبانها
The nightingale sang stories of the rose, But only birds know those languages.
کسی را سوی این رازست راهی	که او را زین نمد باشد کلاهی
Only he who has a hat of this felt Has a path to this secret.
سخن گرچه نگفت او نیک دانم	که میگفت او که سر تا پا زبانم
Although he spoke no words, I know well That he was saying: I am tongue from head to toe.
سخن در وقت خاموشی چنان داشت	که یک یک موی او گویی زبان داشت
In his silence, his speech was such That every single hair of his, you would say, had a tongue.
ندارد عشق من با عشق او کار	که او عاشق ترست از من بصد بار
My love has nothing on his love, For he is a hundred times more in love than I.
مزن پر همچو مرغ ای دایه چندین	که شد مرغی که کردی خایه زرین
Do not flutter your wings like a bird so much, O nurse, For the bird that you thought laid golden eggs has flown.
کنون این پسته را عنابی آور	چو من این جوی کندم آبی آور
Now bring a jujube to this pistachio; Since I have dug this channel, bring water to it.'
ز گفت گل بگل دایه چنین گفت	که ای ماه فلک را بر زمین جفت
Upon Gol's words, the nurse said to Gol: 'O moon, peer of the heavens upon the earth!
شبت خوش باد و روزت باد فرخ	لبت شهد و برت سیم و گلت رخ
May your night be happy and your day auspicious, Your lips honey, your breast silver, and your cheek a rose!
صبوری کن که تا هرمز ز مستی	چنین گردد که تو امروز هستی
Have patience, so that Hormoz, from intoxication, Becomes as you are today.
مبادت جز نشاط و عیش پیشه	بکام دوستان بادی همیشه
May you have no pursuit other than joy and pleasure, May you always be according to the wishes of your friends.
به پیش او نباید شد بزودی	که تا داند که بی او درچه بودی
You must not go to him too quickly, So that he may know what you were in without him.
بیکبارش میار از خاک بر تخت	که تا او نیز لختی بر تند سخت
Do not bring him all at once from the dust to the throne, So that he too may strive hard for a while.
اگر آسان بدست آرد ترا او	چو باد از دست بگذارد ترا او
If he obtains you easily, He will let you go from his hand like the wind.
زری کاسان بدست آری تو بی رنج	ز دست آسان رود گر هست صد گنج
Gold that you obtain easily without toil Goes easily from hand, even if it is a hundred treasures.
بیک جوزر چو از تو صد عرق ریخت	نیاری پیش مردم بر طبق ریخت
When a hundred drops of sweat pour from you for a single walnut, You will not easily scatter it on a platter before people.
دل همچون صدف از صبر کن پر	که تا آن قطرهٔ باران شود در
Fill your heart like a pearl-shell with patience, So that that raindrop may become a pearl.
کنون با هرمز آشفته آیم	زمانی با حدیث رفته آیم
Now I will turn to the distraught Hormoz, And speak for a moment of what has passed.'
