دفتر چهارم - بخش ۷۱ - آشفتن آن غلام از نارسیدن جواب رقعه از قبل پادشاه / Book Four - Section 71 - The Agitation of That Slave Due to the Non-Arrival of the Reply to the Letter from the King

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

این بیابان خود ندارد پا و سربی جواب نامه خسته ست آن پسر
This desert itself has neither foot nor head;
That lad is weary, his letter still unanswered.
کای عجب چونم نداد آن شه جوابیا خیانت کرد رقعه بر ز تاب
Saying, "How strange that the king has sent no reply—
The letter-bearer, in his vexation, acted treacherously.
رقعه پنهان کرد و ننمود آن به شاهکو منافق بود و آبی زیر کاه
He hid the letter and did not show it to the king,
For he was a hypocrite—water running unseen beneath the straw."
رقعهٔ دیگر نویسم ز آزموندیگری جویم رسول ذو فنون
"I shall write another letter, as a test,
And seek a different messenger, one of many skills."
بر امیر و مطبخی و نامه برعیب بنهاده ز جهل آن بی خبر
Upon the emir, the cook, and the letter-carrier
That ignorant, unknowing one has laid his blame.
هیچ گرد خود نمی گردد که منکژروی کردم چو اندر دین شمن
He never turns around himself to see that he
Has gone astray, like one sunk in the religion of the shaman.
