المقالة الثانیة / The Second Discourse

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پسر گفتش گر این شهوت نباشدمیان شوی و زن خلوة نباشد
The son said to him, 'If this lust did not exist,
There would be no intimacy between husband and wife.
نباشد خلق عالم را دوامینماند در همه گیتی نظامی
The creation of the world would have no permanence,
No order would remain in the entire universe.
اگر این حکمت و ترکیب نبودبساط ملک را ترتیب نبود
If this wisdom and composition did not exist,
The expanse of the realm would have no arrangement.
یکی باید هزار و یک تن آراستکه تا یک لقمه بنهی در دهان راست
A thousand and one individuals must be organized,
Just so you can properly place a single morsel in your mouth.
بحکمت کارفرمایان این راهز ماهی کار می رانند تا ماه
By the wisdom of the directors of this path,
They conduct the work from the cosmic fish to the moon.
زمین از کف فلک تابد ز دودیکه گر چیزی نبایستی نبودی
The earth beneath the heavens is formed from smoke,
For if a thing were not necessary, it would not exist.
اگر شهوة نبودی در میانهنه تو بودی و نه من در زمانه
If lust were not in the midst,
Neither you nor I would be in the world.
تو شهوة می براندازی ز مرداندلم را سر این معلوم گردان
You seek to eradicate lust from men;
Make the secret of this known to my heart.'
