بخش ۳ - الحكایة ‌و التمثیل / Section 3 - The Tale and the Parable

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کشتئی آورد در دریا شکست	تختهٔ زان جمله بر بالا نشست
A ship came and was wrecked in the sea A plank from it floated on the surface
گربه و موشی بر آن تخته بماند	کارشان با یکدگر پخته بماند
A cat and a mouse remained on that plank Their fate with one another became bound
نه ز گربه بیم بود آن موش را	نه بموش آهنگ آن مغشوش را
Neither did the mouse have fear of the cat Nor did that confused one intend for the mouse
هر دو تن از هول دریا ای عجب	در تحیر باز مانده خشک لب
Both of them, from the terror of the sea, oh wonder! Remained in bewilderment with dry lips
زهرهٔ جنبش نه و یارای سیر	هر دو بیخود گشته نه عین و نه غیر
Having no courage to move, nor power to travel Both became selfless, neither essence nor other
در قیامت نیز این غوغا بود	یعنی آنجا نه تو و نه ما بود
In the Resurrection too, there will be such an uproar Meaning, there will be neither 'you' nor 'we' there
هیبت این راه کار مشکلست	صد جهان زین سهم پرخون دلست
The awe of this path is a difficult matter A hundred worlds have hearts full of blood from this dread
هرکه او نزدیک تر حیران ترست	کار دوران پارهٔ آسان ترست
Whoever is closer is more bewildered The affair of those far away is somewhat easier
