دفتر اول - بخش ۲ - عاشق شدن پادشاه بر کنیزک رنجور و تدبیر کردن در صحت او / Book 1 - Part 2 - The King Falling in Love with a Sick Handmaiden and Seeking a Remedy for Her Health

Original content

بشنوید ای دوستان این داستان
خود حقیقت نقد حال ماست آن

بود شاهی در زمانی پیش ازین
ملک دنیا بودش و هم ملک دین

اتفاقا شاه روزی شد سوار
با خواص خویش از بهر شکار

یک کنیزک دید شه بر شاه راه
شد غلام آن کنیزک پادشاه

مرغ جانش در قفس چون می طپید
داد مال و آن کنیزک را خرید

چون خرید او را و برخوردار شد
آن کنیزک از قضا بیمار شد

آن یکی خر داشت، پالانش نبود
یافت پالان گرگ خر را در ربود

کوزه بودش آب می نامد بدست
آب را چون یافت خود کوزه شکست

شه طبیبان جمع کرد از چپ و راست
گفت جان هر دو در دست شماست

جان من سهلست جان جانم اوست
دردمند و خسته ام درمانم اوست

هر که درمان کرد مر جان مرا
برد گنج و در و مرجان مرا

جمله گفتندش که جانبازی کنیم
فهم گرد آریم و انبازی کنیم

هر یکی از ما مسیح عالمیست
هر الم را در کف ما مرهمیست

«گر خدا خواهد» نگفتند از بطر
پس خدا بنمودشان عجز بشر

ترک استثنا مرادم قسوتی ست
نه همین گفتن که عارض حالتی ست

ای بسا ناورده استثنا به گفت
جان او با جان استثناست جفت

هرچه کردند از علاج و از دوا
گشت رنج افزون و حاجت ناروا

آن کنیزک از مرض چون موی شد
چشم شه از اشک خون چون جوی شد

از قضا سرکنگبین صفرا فزود
روغن بادام خشکی می نمود

از هلیله قبض شد ، اطلاق رفت
آب آتش را مدد شد همچو نفت

English translation

Listen, O friends, to this tale; in truth, it is the ready coin of our own present state. There was a king in a former time, who possessed both worldly dominion and the dominion of religion. By chance, one day the king rode out with his intimates to hunt. The king saw a slave girl on the highway; the king became the slave of that slave girl. As the bird of his soul fluttered in its cage, he gave money and bought that slave girl. When he had bought her and enjoyed her, by fate that slave girl fell ill. One man had a donkey but no packsaddle; he found a packsaddle, and a wolf carried off the donkey. He had a jug, but no water came to hand; when he found water, the jug itself broke. The king gathered physicians from every side and said, 'The lives of both of us are in your hands. My life is easy to give; she is the life of my life. I am afflicted and exhausted; she is my remedy. Whoever cures the life of my life will take my treasure, pearls, and coral.' They all said, 'We will risk our lives; we will gather our understanding and join together. Each one of us is a Messiah of the world; in our hand is a salve for every pain.' Out of arrogance they did not say, 'If God wills'; therefore God showed them human helplessness. By abandoning the exception I mean hardness of heart, not merely failing to say the words because of a passing condition. Many a person has spoken the exception without bringing it to the tongue; his soul is joined with the soul of the exception. Whatever they did by treatment and medicine, the sickness grew worse and the need remained unmet. From illness that slave girl became thin as a hair; from tears of blood the king's eye became like a stream. By fate, oxymel increased the bile; almond oil produced dryness. Myrobalan caused constipation and the looseness departed; water aided the fire as naphtha does.
