بخش ۱۰ - الحکایه و التمثیل / Section 10 - The Tale and the Parable

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کری بر ره بخفت از خرده دانیکه تا وقتی درآید کاروانی
A deaf man slept on the road out of cleverness,
Waiting for a caravan to arrive.
درآمد کاروان و رفت چون دودکجا آن خفتهٔ کر را خبر بود
The caravan arrived and departed like smoke;
How could that sleeping deaf man be aware?
چو شد بیدار خواب از دیدگان رفتبدو گفتند ای کر کاروان رفت
When he awoke and sleep left his eyes,
They said to him, "O deaf man, the caravan is gone!
چرا خفتی که کرد آخر چنین خوابکه بگذشتند همراهان و اصحاب
Why did you sleep? Who ultimately sleeps like this,
While companions and friends passed by?
ندانم تا چه خوابت دید ایامکه خوش در خواب کردت تا سرانجام
I do not know what kind of dream time saw for you,
That it pleasantly put you to sleep until the end."
کر آن بشنود گفت آشفته بودمکه هم کر بودم و هم خفته بودم
The deaf man heard this and said, "I was confused,
For I was both deaf and asleep.
دریغا چون شدم از خواب بیدارنمی یابم ز یک همراه آثار
Alas, when I awoke from sleep,
I find no trace of a single companion."
