بخش ۲۴ - حکایت / Section 24 - The Tale

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کرد روزی عمر به رهگذریسوی جوقی ز کودکان نظری
One day Umar, passing by a path,
Cast a look toward a group of children.
همه مشغول گشته در بازیکرده هریک همی سرافرازی
All were busy playing,
Each showing off and boasting.
هریکی از پس مصارعتیبنمودی ز خود مسارعتی
Each, after a wrestling match,
Demonstrated swiftness and agility.
برکشیده برای خط و ادبجامه از سر برون به رسم عرب
For the sake of play and custom,
They had pulled their robes off their heads, in the Arab fashion.
چون عمر سوی کودکان نگریدحشمتش پردهٔ طرب بدرید
When Umar looked towards the children,
His awe and majesty tore the veil of their joy.
کودکان زو گریختند به تفتجز که عبدالله زبیر نرفت
The children fled from him in haste,
Except for Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, who did not run.
گفت عمر ز پیش من به چه فنتو بنگریختی بگفتا من
Umar said: 'For what reason, and by what art,
Did you not flee from before me?' He said: 'As for me,
چه گریزم ز پیشت ای مکرمنه تو بیدادگر نه من مجرم
Why should I flee from before you, O noble one?
Neither are you a tyrant, nor am I a criminal.
نزد آنکس که دید جوهر خودچه قبول و چه رد چه نیک و چه بد
To the one who has seen his own essence,
What is acceptance or rejection, what is good or bad?
میر چون جفت دین و داد بودخلق را دل ز عدل شاد بود
When the ruler is joined with religion and justice,
The people's hearts are made glad by justice.
ور بود رای او سوی بیدادملک خود داد سر به سر بر باد
But if his opinion is inclined toward injustice,
He has completely thrown his kingdom to the wind.
نیک باشی ز دردسر رستیور بدی جمله عهد بشکستی
If you are good, you are saved from headache;
But if you are bad, you have broken the entire covenant.
چون گرفتی ز عدل توشهٔ خویشمرکب تو بود دو منزل پیش
When you have taken your provision from justice,
Your steed will be two stages ahead.
آنچنان شو به حیرت آبادشکه دگر یاد ناید از یادش
Become so lost in the abode of wonder
That no other memory comes to mind.'
