متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

ملک برهم زن تو ادهم وار زود	تا بیابی هم چو او ملک خلود
Overturn your kingdom swiftly, like Adham, So that you may find, like him, the kingdom of eternity.
خفته بود آن شه شبانه بر سریر	حارسان بر بام اندر دار و گیر
That king was sleeping at night upon his throne, While the guards on the roof were busy in their commotion.
قصد شه از حارسان آن هم نبود	که کند زان دفع دزدان و رنود
The king's intent from the guards was not That they should drive away thieves and rogues.
او همی دانست که آن کو عادلست	فارغست از واقعه آمن دلست
He knew that whoever is just Is free from misfortune, secure in heart.
عدل باشد پاسبان گامها	نه به شب چوبک زنان بر بامها
Justice is the guardian of one's steps, Not the night watchmen beating clubs on the rooftops.
لیک بد مقصودش از بانگ رباب	هم چو مشتاقان خیال آن خطاب
But his purpose from the sound of the rabāb Was — like the yearning ones — the imagining of that divine address.
نالهٔ سرنا و تهدید دهل	چیزکی ماند بدان ناقور کل
The wailing of the surnā and the threatening of the drum Bear some resemblance to that universal trumpet.
پس حکیمان گفته اند این لحنها	از دوار چرخ بگرفتیم ما
Thus the sages have said: these melodies We have taken from the revolution of the celestial sphere.
بانگ گردشهای چرخست این که خلق	می سرایندش به تنبور و به حلق
This is the sound of the turnings of the heavens that people Sing with the tambūr and with their throats.
مؤمنان گویند که آثار بهشت	نغز گردانید هر آواز زشت
The believers say that the traces of Paradise Made beautiful every ugly sound.
ما همه اجزای آدم بوده ایم	در بهشت آن لحن ها بشنوده ایم
We were all parts of Adam; In Paradise we heard those melodies.
گرچه بر ما ریخت آب و گل شکی	یادمان آمد از آنها چیزکی
Although water and clay of doubt were poured over us, We remembered something of those melodies.
لیک چون آمیخت با خاک کرب	کی دهند این زیر و آن بم آن طرب
But when it mixed with the soil of grief, How can this treble and that bass give that joy?
آب چون آمیخت با بول و کمیز	گشت ز آمیزش مزاجش تلخ و تیز
When water mixes with urine and excrement, From the mixing its temperament becomes bitter and harsh.
چیزکی از آب هستش در جسد	بول گیرش آتشی را می کشد
There is something of water in the body — The urine of it extinguishes a fire.
گر نجس شد آب این طبعش بماند	که آتش غم را به طبع خود نشاند
Though the water became impure, this nature remained in it: That by its own nature it settles the fire of grief.
پس غدای عاشقان آمد سماع	که درو باشد خیال اجتماع
Thus samā' has become the food of lovers, For in it is the imagining of union.
قوتی گیرد خیالات ضمیر	بلک صورت گردد از بانگ و صفیر
The imaginations of the inner heart gain strength, Indeed they take form from sound and melody.
آتش عشق از نوا ها گشت تیز	آن چنان که آتش آن جوزریز
The fire of love was sharpened by the melodies, Just as the fire of that walnut-roaster.
