بخش ۲۷ - حکایت آن غوری که در مناره پنهان شده بود و فریاد می کرد که مرا مجویید که من اینجا نیستم / Section 27 - The Tale of the Ghouri Who Hid in the Minaret and Shouted, 'Do Not Look for Me, I Am Not Here'

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

روستایی ز دست باران جسترفت و در پای ناودان بنشست
A villager escaped from the rain,
Went and sat at the foot of a drainpipe.
ساده ای از تکاو عرصه غورکرد روزی به سوی شهر عبور
A simpleton from the expanse of Ghour
Passed towards the city one day.
مانده و گرسنه ز راه تکاوبر کتف توبره به پا گرگاو
Tired and hungry from the long journey,
With a nosebag on his shoulder and rough shoes on his feet.
اوفتادش گذر به دکانیدید پر نان و نانخورش خوانی
His path fell upon a shop,
He saw a table full of bread and stew.
بی تکلف گذشت و خوش بنشستکرد بیرون ز زیر پشمین دست
Without ceremony he passed and sat down happily,
He brought his hand out from under his woolen garment.
صاحب خوان چو بود اهل کرمنزد از منع و زجر با او دم
Since the owner of the table was a man of generosity,
He did not utter a word of prevention or rebuke to him.
چون ازان نان و خوان به تنهاییخورد چندانکه داشت گنجایی
When he ate of that bread and table alone,
As much as he had capacity,
توبره بر زیر سر نهاد و بخفتصاحب خوان چو آن بدید آشفت
He placed his nosebag under his head and slept.
When the owner of the table saw that, he became agitated.
گفت برخیز هان و هان برخیززودتر زین در دکان بگریز
He said, 'Rise, beware, and beware, rise!
Flee from the door of this shop sooner!
ملک شهر حکم فرمودهکه بگیرند الاغ آسوده
The king of the city has issued a command,
To seize any rested donkey.
دمبدم می رسد یکی سرهنگمی کند سوی هر الاغ آهنگ
Moment by moment an officer arrives,
Making for every donkey.
می کشد در قطار خویش تو رامی کشد زیر بار خویش تو را
He will pull you into his string,
He will pull you under his load.
می برد بارکش به هر سویتمی کند ریش پشت و پهلویت
He will take you as a beast of burden in every direction,
He will make your back and sides sore.'
مرد غوری چو آن سخن بشنیدتوبره بر کتف نهاد و دوید
When the Ghouri man heard those words,
He placed his nosebag on his shoulder and ran.
در به در کو به کو بسی شتافتهیچ جایی به از مناره نیافت
Door to door, street to street, he hurried much,
He found no place better than a minaret.
از همه مردمان کناره گزیدترس ترسان در آن مناره خزید
He chose isolation from all people,
Fearfully he crept into that minaret.
از قضا بهر سود و سوداییخاست از شهر شور و غوغایی
By chance, for the sake of some trade and dealing,
A commotion and clamor rose from the city.
شد گمانش که شور سرهنگ استکش به سوی الاغ آهنگ است
His suspicion became that it was the officer's commotion,
Who was making for donkeys.
بانگ می زد که من نهان شده اموز جفای تو در امان شده ام
He was shouting, 'I have become hidden,
And I am safe from your oppression!
زود بگذر سخن مگوی اینجامن نهانم مرا مجوی اینجا
Pass quickly, do not speak here,
I am hidden, do not seek me here!
بلکه خود زین دیار دورم منهمچنان در تکاو غورم من
Rather, I am far from this land myself,
I am still running in Ghour.'
صد سخن بیش ازین قبل بودشلیک هر یک خلاف مقصودش
He had a hundred words more of this sort,
But each one was contrary to his purpose.
همچو آن ساده دل که از دغلیساخت بر ذکر سر نشان جلی
Like that simpleton who out of deceit,
Made an obvious sign upon the mention of a secret.
ذکرش آمد برون ز پرده سربر خیال سر او هنوز مصر
His secret came out from behind the veil,
While he was still insisting on the illusion of a secret.
