دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۹۱ - ملامت کردن اهل مسجد مهمان عاشق را از شب خفتن در آنجا و تهدید کردن مرورا / Book Three — Section 191 — The people of the mosque blame the enamored guest for sleeping there at night and threaten him

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

قوم گفتندش که هین اینجا مخسپتا نکوبد جانستانت همچو کسپ
The people said to him: "Beware, do not sleep here,
lest the soul-taker pound you down like dregs.
که غریبی و نمی دانی ز حالکاندرین جا هر که خفت آمد زوال
For you are a stranger and know not our condition —
in this place, whoever slept met with ruin.
اتفاقی نیست این ما بارهادیده ایم و جمله اصحاب نهی
This is no coincidence; we have seen it many times,
and all the people of sound judgment have witnessed it too.
هر که آن مسجد شبی مسکن شدشنیم شب مرگ هلاهل آمدش
Whoever made that mosque his lodging for a night,
at midnight death by poison came to him.
از یکی ما تابه صد این دیده ایمنه به تقلید از کسی بشنیده ایم
From one among us to a hundred we have seen this —
not heard it in imitation from another.
گفت الدین نصیحه آن رسولآن نصیحت در لغت ضد غلول
The Prophet said: 'Al-dīn al-naṣīḥa' — Religion is counsel;
that naṣīḥat in language stands opposite to ghulūl.
این نصیحت راستی در دوستیدر غلولی خاین و سگ پوستی
This naṣīḥat is sincerity within friendship;
in ghulūl there is treachery and the skin of a dog.
بی خیانت این نصیحت از ودادمی نماییمت مگرد از عقل و داد
Without treachery, out of love we offer you this counsel —
do not turn away from reason and justice."
