جواب پدر / The Father's Answer

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پدر گفتش که دیوت غالب آمددلت زان جادوئی را طالب آمد
The father said to him, 'Your demon has overcome you,
And your heart has become a seeker of that magic.
که از دیوت گر این حاصل نبودیترا این آرزو در دل نبودی
For if this had not been obtained from your demon,
You would not have had this desire in your heart.
اگر زین دیو بگذشتی برستیوگرنه مدبری شیطان پرستی
If you pass by this demon, you will be saved,
Otherwise, you are a wretched devil-worshiper.
نداری از خدا آخر خبر هیچکه کار دیو می خواهی دگر هیچ
You have no knowledge of God at all,
Since you desire nothing but the work of the demon.
خدا را گردهٔ ندهی بدرویشهوا را باز گیری صد ره از خویش
For God's sake, you do not give a loaf of bread to a dervish,
Yet for passion's sake, you would give a hundred times over from yourself.
سخی باشی ریا را و هوا راولیکن دوزخی باشی خدا را
You are generous toward hypocrisy and passion,
But you are destined for hell before God.'
