دفتر چهارم - بخش ۷۲ - کژ وزیدن باد بر سلیمان علیه‌السلام به سبب زلت او / Book Four - Section 72 - The Wind Blowing Crookedly on Solomon, Peace Be Upon Him, Because of His Lapse

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

باد بر تخت سلیمان رفت کژپس سلیمان گفت بادا کژ مغژ
The wind went crookedly over Solomon's throne,
Then Solomon said: "O wind, do not blow crookedly."
باد هم گفت ای سیلمان کژ مروور روی کژ از کژم خشمین مشو
The wind also said: "O Solomon, do not go crookedly,
And if you go crookedly, do not be angry at my crookedness.
این ترازو بهر این بنهاد حقتا رود انصاف ما را در سبق
God placed this scale for this reason —
That justice might proceed before us.
از ترازو کم کنی من کم کنمتا تو با من روشنی من روشنم
If you diminish from the scale, I diminish;
As long as you are fair with me, I am fair."
هم چنین تاج سلیمان میل کردروز روشن را برو چون لیل کرد
Likewise, Solomon's crown tilted,
And turned the bright day upon him like night.
گفت تاجا کژ مشو بر فرق منآفتابا کم مشو از شرق من
He said: "O crown, do not tilt upon my head;
O sun, do not diminish from my east."
راست می کرد او به دست آن تاج راباز کژ می شد برو تاج ای فتی
He was straightening the crown with his hand,
Again the crown became crooked upon him, O young man.
هشت بارش راست کرد و گشت کژگفت تاجا چیست آخر کژ مغژ
Eight times he straightened it and it became crooked.
He said: "O crown, what is this? Do not tilt, I say."
گفت اگر صد ره کنی تو راست منکژ شوم چون کژ روی ای مؤتمن
It said: "If a hundred times you make me straight,
I will become crooked when you go crookedly, O trusted one."
پس سلیمان اندرونه راست کرددل بر آن شهوت که بودش کرد سرد
Then Solomon straightened his inner self,
And made his heart cold toward that desire he had.
بعد از آن تاجش همان دم راست شدآنچنان که تاج را می خواست شد
After that, his crown became straight at that very moment —
Just as the crown needed to be.
بعد از آنش کژ همی کرد او به قصدتاج او می گشت تارک جو به قصد
After that, he deliberately made it crooked,
The crown would deliberately seek the top of his head.
هشت کرت کژ بکرد آن مهترشراست می شد تاج بر فرق سرش
Eight times that great one made it crooked,
The crown straightened itself upon the crown of his head.
تاج ناطق گشت کای شه ناز کنچون فشاندی پر ز گل پرواز کن
The crown became speaking and said: "O king, be at ease.
Since you have shaken your wings free of mud, now fly.
نیست دستوری کزین من بگذرمپرده های غیب این برهم درم
I have no permission to go beyond this —
To tear apart these veils of the unseen.
بر دهانم نه تو دست خود ببندمر دهانم را ز گفت ناپسند
Place your hand upon my mouth — restrain yourself,
And spare my mouth from unpleasant speech."
پس ترا هر غم که پیش آید ز دردبر کسی تهمت منه بر خویش گرد
So whatever sorrow comes before you from pain,
Lay not the blame on anyone — look to yourself.
ظن مبر بر دیگری ای دوستکامآن مکن که می سگالید آن غلام
Cast not suspicion on another, O seeker of love,
Do not do what that servant was devising —
گاه جنگش با رسول و مطبخیگاه خشمش با شهنشاه سخی
Sometimes his quarrel was with the messenger and the cook,
Sometimes his anger with the generous king of kings —
هم چو فرعونی که موسی هشته بودطفلکان خلق را سر می ربود
Like a Pharaoh who had housed Moses,
While taking the heads of the people's little children.
آن عدو در خانهٔ آن کور دلاو شده اطفال را گردن گسل
That enemy was in the house of that blind-hearted one,
While he had become the neck-breaker of children.
تو هم از بیرون بدی با دیگرانواندرون خوش گشته با نفس گران
You too have been outwardly hostile toward others,
While inwardly becoming comfortable with the heavy nafs.
خود عدوت اوست قندش می دهیوز برون تهمت به هر کس می نهی
Your true enemy is it — you feed it sugar,
While outwardly you lay blame on everyone.
هم چو فرعونی تو کور و کوردلبا عدو خوش بی گناهان را مذل
Like Pharaoh, you are blind and blind-hearted,
At ease with the enemy, humiliating the innocent.
چند فرعونا کشی بی جرم رامی نوازی مر تن پر غرم را
How long, O Pharaoh-like one, will you slay the guiltless,
While you caress the body full of fault?
عقل او بر عقل شاهان می فزودحکم حق بی عقل و کورش کرده بود
His intellect surpassed the intellect of kings,
Yet God's decree had made him witless and blind.
مهر حق بر چشم و بر گوش خردگر فلاطونست حیوانش کند
God's seal upon the eye and ear of reason —
Even if he be Plato, it makes him a beast.
حکم حق بر لوح می آید پدیدآنچنان که حکم غیب بایزید
God's decree appears manifest on the Tablet,
Just as the unseen decree [appeared] to Bayazid.
