دفتر دوم - بخش ۱۰۹ - پذیرا آمدن سخن باطل در دل باطلان / Book Two - Section 109 - The Acceptance of False Words in the Hearts of the False

Original content

گفت اینک راست پذرفتم به جان
کژ نماید راست در پیش کژان

گر بگویی احولی را: «مه، یکی ست»
گویدت: «این دوست و، در وحدت شکی ست»

ور برو خندد کسی، گوید: دو است
راست دارد، این سزای بدخو است

بر دروغان، جمع می آید دروغ
للخبیثات الخبیثین زد فروغ

دل فراخان را بود دست فراخ
چشم کوران را عثار سنگ لاخ

English translation

He said: “Now I have accepted the truth with my soul: the straight appears crooked before the crooked. If you say to a squint-eyed person, ‘The moon is one,’ he will say to you, ‘This is two, and there is doubt about its oneness.’ And if someone laughs at him and says, ‘It is two,’ he considers that right; this is the punishment of the ill-natured. Lies gather around liars; ‘vile things are for vile people’ has cast its radiance. The open-hearted have an open hand; for the eyes of the blind, rocky ground is a stumbling block.”
