متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

اندرین بود او که الهام آمدشکشف شد این مشکلات از ایزدش
He was in this state when inspiration came to him;
these difficulties were resolved for him by God.
کو بگفتت در کمان تیری بنهکی بگفتندت که اندر کش تو زه
It said, 'Put an arrow in the bow;
when did they tell you to pull the bowstring?'
او نگفتت که کمان را سخت کشدر کمان نه گفت او نه پر کنش
He did not say to draw the bow hard;
He said, 'Put it in the bow,' not 'Draw it to the full.'
از فضولی تو کمان افراشتیصنعت قواسیی بر داشتی
Out of meddling, you raised the bow high;
you took up the art of archery.
ترک این سخته کمانی رو بگودر کمان نه تیر و پریدن مجو
Go, abandon this hard bow-drawing;
put the arrow in the bow and do not seek its flight.
چون بیفتد بر کن آنجا می طلبزور بگذار و بزاری جو ذهب
When it falls, dig and seek there;
abandon force and seek the gold through supplication.
آنچ حقست اقرب از حبل الوریدتو فکنده تیر فکرت را بعید
That which is the Truth is 'closer than the jugular vein';
you have shot the arrow of your thought far away.
ای کمان و تیرها بر ساختهصید نزدیک و تو دور انداخته
O you who have fashioned bow and arrows,
the prey is near, and you have shot far.
هرکه دوراندازتر او دورتروز چنین گنجست او مهجورتر
Whoever shoots furthest is the furthest away,
and is more separated from such a treasure.
فلسفی خود را از اندیشه بکشتگو بدو کوراست سوی گنج پشت
The philosopher killed himself with thinking;
tell him his back is turned toward the treasure.
گو بدو چندانک افزون می دوداز مراد دل جداتر می شود
Tell him that the more he runs,
the more separated he becomes from the desire of his heart.
جاهدوا فینا بگفت آن شهریارجاهدوا عنا نگفت ای بی قرار
That King said, 'Strive in Us';
He did not say, 'Strive away from Us,' O restless one.
هم چو کنعان کو ز ننگ نوح رفتبر فراز قلهٔ آن کوه زفت
Like Canaan, who went away out of shame of Noah,
to the top of that huge mountain.
هرچه افزون تر همی جست او خلاصسوی که می شد جداتر از مناص
The more he sought deliverance,
going towards the mountain, the more separated he was from the place of refuge.
هم چو این درویش بهر گنج و کانهر صباحی سخت تر جستی کمان
Just like this dervish, for the sake of the treasure and mine,
every morning he drew the bow harder.
هر کمانی کو گرفتی سخت تربود از گنج و نشان بدبخت تر
Every time he drew the bow harder,
he was more unfortunate regarding the treasure and the sign.
این مثل اندر زمانه جانی استجان نادانان به رنج ارزانی است
This parable is very relevant in the world;
the soul of the ignorant is worthy of suffering.
زانک جاهل ننگ دارد ز اوستادلاجرم رفت و دکانی نو گشاد
Because the ignorant one considers the master a disgrace,
inevitably he went and opened a new shop.
آن دکان بالای استاد ای نگارگنده و پر کژدمست و پر ز مار
That shop above the master's, O beauty,
is foul and full of scorpions and full of snakes.
زود ویران کن دکان و بازگردسوی سبزه و گلبنان و آب خورد
Quickly destroy the shop and return
to the greenery and rosebushes and the drinking water.
نه چو کنعان کو ز کبر و ناشناختاز که عاصم سفینهٔ فوز ساخت
Not like Canaan, who out of pride and ignorance,
made the mountain his protector instead of the ship of salvation.
علم تیراندازیش آمد حجیبوان مراد او را بده حاضر به جیب
His knowledge of archery became a veil,
while his desired object was present in his pocket.
ای بسا علم و ذکاوات و فطنگشته ره رو را چو غول و راه زن
Oh, how many sciences and sharpnesses and intelligences
have become like a ghoul and a highway robber for the traveler.
بیشتر اصحاب جنت ابلهندتا ز شر فیلسوفی می رهند
Most of the companions of Paradise are simpletons,
so that they escape from the mischief of philosophy.
خویش را عریان کن از فضل و فضولتا کند رحمت به تو هر دم نزول
Strip yourself of learning and meddling,
so that mercy may descend upon you at every moment.
زیرکی ضد شکستست و نیاززیرکی بگذار و با گولی بساز
Cleverness is the opposite of brokenness and supplication;
abandon cleverness and make do with simplicity.
زیرکی دان دام برد و طمع و گازتا چه خواهد زیرکی را پاک باز
Know that cleverness brings the snare and greed and the shears;
what use has the pure player for cleverness?
زیرکان با صنعتی قانع شدهابلهان از صنع در صانع شده
The clever ones are content with the craft;
the simpletons have gone from the creation to the Creator.
زانک طفل خرد را مادر نهاردست و پا باشد نهاده بر کنار
Because for the small child, the mother by day
is hands and feet, laid upon her bosom.
