دفتر دوم - بخش ۱۰ - یافتن شاه باز را به خانهٔ کمپیر زن / Book Two - Section 10 - The King Finding the Falcon at the House of the Old Crone

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دین نه آن بازیست کو از شه گریختسوی آن کمپیر کو می آرد بیخت
Religion is not that falcon that fled from the king
To that old crone who sifts flour
تا که تتماجی پزد اولاد رادید آن باز خوش خوش زاد را
So that she may cook tutmaj for her children.
That old crone saw the beautiful, well-bred falcon,
پایکش بست و پرش کوتاه کردناخنش ببرید و قوتش کاه کرد
She tied its leg and cut its wings short,
She clipped its talons and reduced its food.
گفت نااهلان نکردندت بسازپر فزود از حد و ناخن شد دراز
She said, "Unworthy people did not treat you well;
Your wings grew beyond limit and your talons became long.
دست هر نااهل بیمارت کندسوی مادر آ که تیمارت کند
The hand of every unworthy person makes you sick;
Come to your mother so she may care for you."
مهر جاهل را چنین دان ای رفیقکژ رود جاهل همیشه در طریق
Know the affection of the ignorant to be like this, O friend:
The ignorant always walks crookedly on the path.
روز شه در جست و جو بی گاه شدسوی آن کمپیر و آن خرگاه شد
One day the king, in search, arrived late
At the old crone and that tent.
دید ناگه باز را در دود و گردشه برو بگریست زار و نوحه کرد
Suddenly he saw the falcon in smoke and dust;
The king wept bitterly over it and lamented.
گفت هرچند این جزای کار تستکه نباشی در وفای ما درست
He said, "Although this is the recompense for your action,
That you were not steadfast in loyalty to us,
چون کنی از خلد زی دوزخ فرار؟غافل از «لا یستوی اصحاب نار»
Why do you flee from paradise to hell?
Heedless of 'The companions of the fire are not equal.'
این سزای آنک از شاه خبیرخیره بگریزد به خانهٔ گنده پیر
This is the punishment of the one who, from the knowing king,
Stubbornly flees to the house of the foul old woman."
باز می مالید پر بر دست شاهبی زبان می گفت من کردم گناه
The falcon was rubbing its wing against the king's hand;
Tonguelessly it was saying, "I have committed a sin.
پس کجا زارد کجا نالد لئیم؟گر تو نپذیری به جز نیک ای کریم
So where should the base one weep, where should he lament?
If You do not accept anything but goodness, O Generous One?
لطف شه جان را جنایت جو کندزانک شه هر زشت را نیکو کند
The grace of the king makes the soul seek crimes,
Because the king makes every ugly thing beautiful.
رو مکن زشتی که نیکی های مازشت آمد پیش آن زیبای ما
Go, do not commit ugliness, for our good deeds
Appeared ugly before that Beautiful One of ours.
خدمت خود را سزا پنداشتیتو لوای جرم از آن افراشتی
You thought your service was worthy;
You raised the banner of crime for that reason.
چون ترا ذکر و دعا دستور شدزان دعا کردن دلت مغرور شد
When you were granted permission for remembrance and prayer,
Your heart became proud because of that praying.
هم سخن دیدی تو خود را با خداای بسا کو زین گمان افتد جدا
You saw yourself as a companion with God;
Oh, how many have fallen apart because of this thought!
گرچه با تو شه نشیند بر زمینخویشتن بشناس و نیکوتر نشین
Even if the king sits with you on the ground,
Know yourself and sit more properly."
باز گفت ای شه پشیمان می شومتوبه کردم نومسلمان می شوم
The falcon said, "O king, I am becoming repentant;
I have repented, I am becoming a new Muslim.
آنک تو مستش کنی و شیرگیرگر ز مستی کژ رود عذرش پذیر
He whom you make drunk and a lion-catcher,
If he walks crookedly from drunkenness, accept his excuse.
گرچه ناخن رفت چون باشی مرابر کنم من پرچم خورشید را
Although my talons are gone, if you are with me,
I will pluck the forelock of the sun.
ورچه پرم رفت چون بنوازی امچرخ بازی گم کند در بازی ام
And though my wing is gone, when you caress me,
The sphere will lose its play in my playing.
گر کمر بخشیم که را برکنمگر دهی کلکی علمها بشکنم
If you bestow a belt, who am I to tear up?
If you give a pen, I will break banners.
آخر از پشه نه کم باشد تنمملک نمرودی به پر برهم زنم
After all, my body is not less than a gnat;
I will overthrow Nimrod's kingdom on the wing.
در ضعیفی تو مرا بابیل گیرهر یکی خصم مرا چون پیل گیر
In weakness, take me as the flock of Ababil;
Take each of my enemies as an elephant.
قدر فندق افکنم بندق حریقبندقم در فعل صد چون منجنیق
I will throw a pellet the size of a hazelnut like a firebrand;
My pellet acts like a hundred catapults.
گرچه سنگم هست مقدار نخودلیک در هیجا نه سر ماند نه خود
Although my stone is the size of a chickpea,
Yet in battle, neither head remains nor helmet.
موسی آمد در وغا با یک عصاشزد بر آن فرعون و بر شمشیرهاش
Moses came to battle with his one staff;
He struck that Pharaoh and his swords.
هر رسولی یک تنه کان در زدستبر همه آفاق تنها بر زدست
Every messenger alone, who struck the mine,
Struck alone against all the horizons.
نوح چون شمشیر در خواهید ازوموج طوفان گشت ازو شمشیرخو
When Noah asked Him for a sword,
The wave of the flood became a sword-wielding force from Him.
احمدا خود کیست اسپاه زمین؟ماه بین بر چرخ و بشکافش جبین
O Ahmad, who indeed is the army of the earth?
Look at the moon in the sky and split its forehead!
تا بداند سعد و نحس بی خبردور تست این دور نه دور قمر
So that the unaware auspicious and inauspicious may know
It is your era, not the era of the moon.
دور تست ایرا که موسی کلیمآرزو می برد زین دورت مقیم
It is your era, because Moses the speaker
Residing in this era, was harboring a desire for your era.
چونک موسی رونق دور تو دیدکاندرو صبح تجلی می دمید
When Moses saw the splendor of your era,
In which the morning of manifestation was dawning,
گفت یارب آن چه دور رحمتستآن گذشت از رحمت آنجا رؤیتست
He said, 'O Lord, what an era of mercy it is!
It has surpassed mercy, there is vision there.'
غوطه ده موسی خود را در بحاراز میان دورهٔ احمد بر آر
Immerse yourself, O Moses, in the seas;
Raise your head from the middle of Ahmad's era.
گفت یا موسی بدان بنمودمتراه آن خلوت بدان بگشودمت
He said, 'O Moses, I showed it to you for this reason,
I opened the path of that seclusion to you for this reason,
که تو زان دوری درین دور ای کلیمپا بکش زیرا درازست این گلیم
That you are far from it in this era, O speaker;
Draw back your foot, for this blanket is long.
من کریمم نان نمایم بنده راتا بگریاند طمع آن زنده را
I am generous, I show bread to the servant,
So that greed may make that living one weep.
بینی طفلی بمالد مادریتا شود بیدار و وا جوید خوری
You see a mother rubbing an infant,
So that it may wake up and seek food.
کو گرسنه خفته باشد بی خبروان دو پستان می خلد زو مهر در
While he is sleeping hungry and unaware,
And those two breasts prick him with affection.'
کنت کنزا رحمة مخفیةفابتعثت امة مهدیة
'I was a hidden treasure of mercy,
So I sent forth a guided nation.'
هر کراماتی که می جویی بجاناو نمودت تا طمع کردی در آن
Every miracle that you seek with your soul,
He showed you so that you would desire it.
چند بت بشکست احمد در جهانتا که یا رب گوی گشتند امتان
How many idols did Ahmad break in the world,
So that nations became those who say 'O Lord'?
گر نبودی کوشش احمد تو هممی پرستیدی چو اجدادت صنم
If it were not for Ahmad's effort, you too
Would be worshipping an idol like your ancestors.
این سرت وا رست از سجدهٔ صنمتا بدانی حق او را بر امم
This head of yours was saved from prostrating to an idol,
So that you may know his right over the nations.
گر بگویی شکر این رستن بگوکز بت باطن همت برهاند او
If you say thanks for this deliverance, say it;
So that he may also deliver you from the inner idol.
مر سرت را چون رهانید از بتانهم بدان قوت تو دل را وا رهان
Since he delivered your head from idols,
By that same power, deliver your heart.
سر ز شکر دین از آن برتافتیکز پدر میراث مفتش یافتی
You turned your head away from thanking the religion,
Because you received it as a free inheritance from your father.
مرد میراثی چه داند قدر مال؟رستمی جان کند و مجان یافت زال
What does an heir know of the value of wealth?
Rostam suffered and Zal found it for free.
چون بگریانم، بجوشد رحمتمآن خروشنده بنوشد نعمتم
'When I make him weep, My mercy boils;
That weeping one drinks My bounty.
گر نخواهم داد، خود ننمایمشچونش کردم بسته دل بگشایمش
If I did not want to give, I would not show it to him;
When I made his heart closed, I will open it.
رحمتم موقوف آن خوش گریه هاستچون گریست، از بحر رحمت موج خاست
My mercy depends on those sweet weepings;
When he wept, a wave rose from the sea of mercy.'
