متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت با دلقک شبی سید اجلقحبه ای را خواستی تو از عجل
One night the noble Sayyid said to the jester: 'In haste you chose a harlot as your wife.
با من این را باز می بایست گفتتا یکی مستور کردیمیت جفت
You ought to have told me about this, so that I could have made some modest woman your mate.'
گفت نه مستور صالح خواستمقحبه گشتند و ز غم تن کاستم
He said: 'No; I sought modest, righteous women, but they became harlots, and from grief I wasted away.
خواستم این قحبه را بی معرفتتا ببینم چون شود این عاقبت
I chose this senseless harlot so that I might see what this outcome would be.
عقل را من آزمودم هم بسیزین سپس جویم جنون را مغرسی
I have tested reason many times as well; from now on I will seek madness as my seedbed.'
