بخش ۳۴ - التمثّل فی صفة‌الانسان / Section 34 - The Parable on the Attribute of Man

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن شنیدی که رفت زی قاضیتا کند خصم خویش را راضی
Have you heard of the one who went to the judge
To satisfy his adversary?
بود مردی در آن میانه گواهکه ز آبادی خود نبود آگاه
There was a man in the midst as a witness
Who was unaware of his own origins and prosperity.
چون گواهی بداد قاضی گفتکای تو با مردمی و رادی جفت
When he gave his testimony, the judge said,
'O you who are paired with humanity and generosity,
نه فلان مرد راد جد تو بودکه فرزدق ورا همی بستود
Was not such-and-such a generous man your grandfather,
Whom Farazdaq used to praise?
از عطا بود کام و راحت روحشعرا را بد از کرم ممدوح
His gifts were the desire and comfort of the soul,
Due to his generosity, he was praised by poets.'
مرد گفت از فرزدق و اشعارمن ندارم خبر تو رنجه مدار
The man said, 'Of Farazdaq and poems,
I have no knowledge, do not trouble yourself.'
گفت قاضی چو تو ز نادانیمنقبتهای خود نمی دانی
The judge said, 'Since out of ignorance,
You do not know your own virtues,
قول تو من کجا قبول کنممن همه کار بر اصول کنم
How can I accept your word?
I base all my work on principles.
چون ندانی فرزدق و نه مدیحمن ندارم شهادت تو صحیح
Since you know neither Farazdaq nor his praise,
I do not consider your testimony valid.'
تو اگر ز آدمی چو آدم باشراه او را نه بیش و نه کم باش
If you are of mankind, be like Adam;
Be on his path, neither more nor less.
جان به کف برنه و دلیر آسایقصد این راه کن درو ماسای
Put your life in your hand and act bravely,
Intend this path and do not linger on it.
کاین دو روزه حیات نزد خردچه خوش و ناخوش و چه نیک و چه بد
For this two-day life, in the eyes of wisdom,
Whether pleasant or unpleasant, good or bad,
باش تا بیخ تو به آب رسدماه خیمه ات به آفتاب رسد
Wait until your roots reach water,
And the moon of your tent reaches the sun.
کودکی تو هنوز معذوریزین طریق دقیق بس دوری
You are still a child, you are excused;
You are very far from this subtle path.
بسته کی گیردت به حاصل نقلهرکه دارد گشاد نامهٔ عقل
When will the bound one attain the fruit of transmission,
Compared to whoever has opened the book of intellect?
تو چه دانی ز آفرینش حقچه شناسی بیان بینش حق
What do you know of God's creation?
What do you understand of the explanation of Divine vision?
تو که در بند آبی و نانیکی جهان و نهان او دانی
You who are bound to water and bread,
How can you know His world and its secrets?
وقت را شکر کن که در ایامزاده ای در میانهٔ اسلام
Give thanks for the time, that in these days,
You were born in the midst of Islam.
خواری و زخم کفر دیده نه ایشربت کافری چشیده نه ای
You have not seen the humiliation and wounds of disbelief,
You have not tasted the syrup of infidelity.
سعی ناکرده در ره ایمانپیشت آورده اند از ایمان خوان
Without striving on the path of faith,
They have brought the table of faith before you.
