دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۱۴ - برون رفتن به سوی آن درخت / Book Three - Section 114 - Going Out Toward That Tree

Original content

چون برون رفتند سوی آن درخت
گفت دستش را سپس بندید سخت

تا گناه و جرم او پیدا کنم
تا لوای عدل بر صحرا زنم

گفت ای سگ جد او را کشته ای
تو غلامی خواجه زین رو گشته ای

خواجه را کشتی و بردی مال او
کرد یزدان آشکارا حال او

آن زنت او را کنیزک بوده است
با همین خواجه جفا بنموده است

هر چه زو زایید ماده یا که نر
ملک وارث باشد آنها سر به سر

تو غلامی کسب و کارت ملک اوست
شرع جستی شرع بستان رو نکوست

خواجه را کشتی باستم زار زار
هم برینجا خواجه گویان زینهار

کارد از اشتاب کردی زیر خاک
از خیالی که بدیدی سهمناک

نک سرش با کارد در زیر زمین
باز کاوید این زمین را همچنین

نام این سگ هم نبشته کارد بر
کرد با خواجه چنین مکر و ضرر

همچنان کردند چون بشکافتند
در زمین آن کارد و سر را یافتند

ولوله در خلق افتاد آن زمان
هر یکی زنار ببرید از میان

بعد از آن گفتش بیا ای دادخواه
داد خود بستان بدان روی سیاه

English translation

When they went out toward that tree, he said, “Bind his hands tightly behind him, so that I may reveal his sin and crime and raise the banner of justice over the plain.” He said, “Dog, you killed his grandfather; you are a slave, yet in this way you made yourself a master. You killed the master and took his property; God has made his case manifest. That wife of yours was his slave-girl, and she acted treacherously toward this very master. Whatever she bore, female or male, belongs entirely to the heir. You are a slave; your earnings and labor are his property. You sought the Law: take the Law; go, it is good. You killed the master cruelly and pitifully, right here, while he cried, ‘Master, protection!’ In haste you put the knife under the earth because of the dreadful vision you saw. Look: his head, with the knife, is under the ground. Dig up this ground just so.” The name of this dog too was written on the knife: he had committed such deceit and harm against the master. They did so; when they split open the ground, they found the knife and the head in the earth. At that moment an uproar fell among the people; each cut the zunnar from his waist. After that he said to him, “Come, seeker of justice; take your justice from that black-faced one.”
