متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

قوم گفتند ای نصوحان بس بوداینچ گفتید ار درین ده کس بود
The people said: "O ye sincere counselors, enough!
What you have said — were there anyone in this village to heed it!
قفل بر دلهای ما بنهاد حقکس نداند برد بر خالق سبق
God has placed a lock upon our hearts;
None can outpace the Creator.
نقش ما این کرد آن تصویرگراین نخواهد شد بگفت و گو دگر
The Image-maker fashioned us this image;
This will not become other through talk and discourse.
سنگ را صد سال گویی لعل شوکهنه را صد سال گویی باش نو
Tell a stone for a hundred years: 'Become a ruby!'
Tell the old for a hundred years: 'Be new!'
خاک را گویی صفات آب گیرآب را گویی عسل شو یا که شیر
Tell dust to take on the qualities of water,
Tell water: 'Become honey, or milk!'
خالق افلاک او و افلاکیانخالق آب و تراب و خاکیان
He is the Creator of the heavens and the heavenly beings,
The Creator of water and earth and those of the earth.
آسمان را داد دوران و صفاآب و گل را تیره رویی و نما
To the sky He gave revolution and purity;
To water and clay He gave murky face and semblance.
کی تواند آسمان دردی گزیدکی تواند آب و گل صفوت خرید
How can the sky ever choose the dregs?
How can water and clay ever purchase purity?
قسمتی کردست هر یک را رهیکی کهی گردد بجهدی چون کهی
He has apportioned a path to each and every one;
How can straw become a mountain through striving, when it is but straw?"
