دفتر دوم - بخش ۱۱۲ - منازعت چهار کس جهت انگور کی هر یکی به نام دیگر فهم کرده بود آن را / Book Two - Section 112 - The Dispute of Four Persons Concerning Grapes, Which Each of Them Understood by Another Name

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چار کس را داد مردی یک درمآن یکی گفت این به انگوری دهم
A man gave four people one dirham.
One said, “I will give this for grapes [angur].”
آن یکی دیگر عرب بد گفت لامن عنب خواهم نه انگور ای دغا
Another, who was an Arab, said, “No,
I want inab, not angur, you fraud.”
آن یکی ترکی بد و گفت این بنممن نمی خواهم عنب، خواهم ازم
Another was a Turk and said, “This is mine;
I do not want inab; I want uzum.”
آن یکی رومی بگفت این قیل راترک کن خواهیم استافیل را
Another, a Roman, said, “Leave this wrangling;
we want istafil.”
در تنازع آن نفر جنگی شدندکه ز سر نامها غافل بدند
In that dispute those people became combative,
for they were heedless of the secret behind the names.
مشت بر هم می زدند از ابلهیپر بدند از جهل و از دانش تهی
They struck one another with fists out of foolishness,
full of ignorance and empty of knowledge.
صاحب سری عزیزی، صد زبانگر بدی آنجا بدادی صلحشان
Had a dear possessor of secrets, knowing a hundred languages,
been there, he would have made peace among them.
پس بگفتی او که من زین یک درمآرزوی جمله تان را می دهم
Then he would have said, “With this one dirham
I will give you all what you desire.
چونک بسپارید دل را بی دغلاین درمتان می کند چندین عمل
When you entrust your hearts without deceit,
this dirham of yours will do many things.
یک درمتان می شود چار المرادچار دشمن می شود یک ز اتحاد
Your one dirham will become four aims fulfilled;
four enemies will become one through unity.
گفت هر یکتان دهد جنگ و فراقگفت من آرد شما را اتفاق
The speech of each of you produces war and separation;
my speech will bring you into accord.
پس شما خاموش باشید انصتواتا زبانتان من شوم در گفت و گو
So be silent: ansitu,
so that I may become your tongue in speaking.
گر سخنتان می نماید یک نمطدر اثر مایهٔ نزاعست و سخط
If your speech seems to be of one sort,
in effect it is the substance of quarrel and wrath.
گرمی عاریتی ندهد اثرگرمی خاصیتی دارد هنر
Borrowed heat has no effect;
heat that belongs to a thing’s nature has efficacy.
سرکه را گر گرم کردی ز آتش آنچون خوری سردی فزاید بی گمان
If you warm vinegar by fire,
when you drink it, it will surely increase coldness,
زانک آن گرمی او دهلیزیستطبع اصلش سردیست و تیزیست
for that warmth in it is only an antechamber;
its original nature is coldness and sharpness.
ور بود یخ بسته دوشاب ای پسرچون خوری گرمی فزاید در جگر
But if grape syrup is frozen in ice, O son,
when you drink it, it will increase warmth in the liver.
پس ریای شیخ به ز اخلاص ماستکز بصیرت باشد آن وین از عماست
Thus the Sheikh’s outward show is better than our sincerity,
for that comes from insight and this from blindness.
از حدیث شیخ جمعیت رسدتفرقه آرد دم اهل جسد
From the Sheikh’s discourse comes gatheredness;
the breath of bodily people brings dispersion.
چون سلیمان کز سوی حضرت بتاختکو زبان جمله مرغان را شناخت
Like Solomon, who hastened from the Divine Presence,
who knew the language of all birds.
در زمان عدلش آهو با پلنگانس بگرفت و برون آمد ز جنگ
In the time of his justice the gazelle and leopard
became intimate and came out of war.
شد کبوتر آمن از چنگال بازگوسفند از گرگ ناورد احتراز
The dove became safe from the falcon’s talons;
the sheep took no precaution against the wolf.
او میانجی شد میان دشمناناتحادی شد میان پرزنان
He became mediator between enemies;
unity arose among the winged ones.
تو چو موری بهر دانه می دویهین سلیمان جو چه می باشی غوی
You run like an ant for a grain;
come, seek Solomon; why remain deluded?
دانه جو را دانه اش دامی شودو آن سلیمان جوی را هر دو بود
For the grain-seeker, his grain becomes a trap;
for the Solomon-seeker, both are his.
مرغ جانها را درین آخر زماننیستشان از همدگر یک دم امان
The birds of souls in this latter age
have not a single moment of safety from one another.
هم سلیمان هست اندر دور ماکو دهد صلح و نماند جور ما
Yet there is a Solomon in our age too,
who gives peace and lets our tyranny not remain.
قول ان من امة را یاد گیرتا به الا و خلا فیها نذیر
Learn the saying “in min ummatin”
through “illa khala fiha nadhir.”
گفت خود خالی نبودست امتیاز خلیفهٔ حق و صاحب همتی
He said: no community has ever been empty
of God’s deputy and a person of high resolve.
مرغ جانها را چنان یکدل کندکز صفاشان بی غش و بی غل کند
He makes the birds of souls so single-hearted
that through his purity he makes them free of deceit and rancor.
مشفقان گردند همچون والدهمسلمون را گفت نفس واحده
They become compassionate, like a mother;
he called the Muslims one soul.
نفس واحد از رسول حق شدندور نه هر یک دشمن مطلق بدند
They became one soul through the Messenger of Truth;
otherwise each was the absolute enemy of the other.
