متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

چونک با کودک سر و کارم فتادهم زبان کودکان باید گشاد
Since I have dealings with a child,
I must open the tongue of children.
که برو کتاب تا مرغت خرمیا مویز و جوز و فستق آورم
"Go to your book and I will buy you a bird,
Or I will bring raisins, walnuts, and pistachios."
جز شباب تن نمی دانی به کیراین جوانی را بگیر ای خر شعیر
You know nothing but the youth of the body — by the cock! —
Take hold of this youth, O barley-ass!
هیچ آژنگی نیفتد بر رختتازه ماند آن شباب فرخت
No wrinkle shall fall upon your face;
That auspicious youth shall remain fresh.
نه نژند پیریت آید برونه قد چون سرو تو گردد دوتو
Neither shall the misery of old age come upon you,
Nor shall your cypress-stature become bent double.
نه شود زور جوانی از تو کمنه به دندانها خللها یا الم
Nor shall the vigor of youth diminish from you,
Nor gaps or pain in the teeth.
نه کمی در شهوت و طمث و بعالکه زنان را آید از ضعفت ملال
Nor any lack in lust, defloration, and marital coitus,
That women would grow weary of your weakness.
آنچنان بگشایدت فر شبابکه گشود آن مژدهٔ عکاشه باب
Such splendor of youth shall open to you
As that glad tiding opened the door for 'Ukāsha.
