متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

هر صباحی چون سلیمان آمدیخاضع اندر مسجد اقصی شدی
Every morning when Solomon came,
He entered the Aqsa Mosque in humility.
نوگیاهی رسته دیدی اندروپس بگفتی نام و نفع خود بگو
He would see a fresh herb grown within it,
Then would say: "Tell me your name and your use.
تو چه دارویی چیی نامت چیستتو زیان کی و نفعت بر کیست
What medicine are you? What are you? What is your name?
To whom are you harm, and to whom does your benefit fall?"
پس بگفتی هر گیاهی فعل و نامکه من آن را جانم و این را حمام
Then each herb would speak its function and its name:
"I am life to that one, and a bath to this one.
من مرین را زهرم و او را شکرنام من اینست بر لوح از قدر
I am poison to this one, and to that one sugar.
This is my name, inscribed on the Tablet of Destiny."
پس طبیبان از سلیمان زان گیاعالم و دانا شدندی مقتدی
Then physicians, from Solomon and through those herbs,
Became learned and wise, taking him as their guide,
تا کتبهای طبیبی ساختندجسم را از رنج می پرداختند
Until they compiled books of medicine
And freed the body from suffering.
این نجوم و طب وحی انبیاستعقل و حس را سوی بی سو ره کجاست
This astronomy and medicine are the revelation of the prophets;
For reason and sense, where is the way toward the Boundless?
عقل جزوی عقل استخراج نیستجز پذیرای فن و محتاج نیست
The partial intellect is not an extracting intellect;
It is nothing but a receiver of craft, and in need.
قابل تعلیم و فهمست این خردلیک صاحب وحی تعلیمش دهد
This reason is capable of instruction and understanding,
But it is the one who holds revelation who instructs it.
جمله حرفتها یقین از وحی بوداول او لیک عقل آن را فزود
All crafts were certainly from revelation at first,
Though reason afterward added to them.
هیچ حرفت را ببین کین عقل ماتاند او آموختن بی اوستا
Look at any craft — can this reason of ours
Learn it without a master?
گرچه اندر مکر موی اشکاف بدهیچ پیشه رام بی استا نشد
Though it was hair-splittingly subtle in cunning,
No profession was ever tamed without a teacher.
دانش پیشه ازین عقل ار بدیپیشهٔ بی اوستا حاصل شدی
If the knowledge of a profession arose from this reason alone,
A craft without a master would have been attained.
