دفتر دوم - بخش ۹۸ - بقیهٔ قصهٔ طعنه زدن آن مرد بیگانه در شیخ / Book Two - Section 98 - The Rest of the Tale of That Outsider Slandering the Sheikh

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن خبیث از شیخ می لایید ژاژکژنگر باشد همیشه عقل کاژ
That vile one was babbling rubbish about the Shaykh;
a crooked mind always sees crookedly.
که منش دیدم میان مجلسیاو ز تقوی عاریست و مفلسی
"I saw him in the midst of a gathering;
he is stripped of piety and is bankrupt.
ورکه باور نیستت خیز امشبانتا ببینی فسق شیخت را عیان
If you don't believe it, come tonight,
so you may see your Shaykh's debauchery plainly."
شب ببردش بر سر یک روزنیگفت بنگر فسق و عشرت کردنی
At night he brought him to the top of a skylight,
and said: "Look at the debauchery and pleasure-making.
بنگر آن سالوس روز و فسق شبروز همچون مصطفی شب بولهب
Look at that daytime hypocrite and nighttime libertine,
by day like Mustafā, by night like Abū Lahab.
روز عبدالله او را گشته نامشب نعوذ بالله و در دست جام
By day his name has become 'Abdullah,'
by night—God forbid—with a cup in hand."
دید شیشه در کف آن پیر پرگفت شیخا مر تو را هم هست غر
He saw a full bottle in the palm of that elder,
and said: "O Shaykh, so you too have a trick.
تو نمی گفتی که در جام شرابدیو می میزد شتابان نا شتاب
Did you not say that in the cup of wine
the devil urinates, hurriedly and leisurely?"
گفت جامم را چنان پر کرده اندکاندرو اندر نگنجد یک سپند
He said: "My cup has been filled in such a way
that not even one seed of rue fits within it.
بنگر اینجا هیچ گنجد ذره ایاین سخن را کژ شنیده غره ای
Look here—can a single atom fit?
You have heard this saying crookedly, O deluded one."
جام ظاهر خمر ظاهر نیست ایندور دار این را ز شیخ غیب بین
This is not an outward cup nor outward wine;
keep this far from the Shaykh who sees the unseen.
جام می هستی شیخست ای فلیوکاندرو اندر نگنجد بول دیو
The cup of wine is the Shaykh's very being, O wretch,
within which the devil's urine cannot fit.
پر و مالامال از نور حقستجام تن بشکست نور مطلقست
It is full and brimming with the light of God;
the cup of the body has shattered—he is absolute light.
نور خورشید ار بیفتد بر حدثاو همان نورست نپذیرد خبث
If the light of the sun falls upon impurity,
it is still that same light; it does not accept filth.
شیخ گفت این خود نه جامست و نه میهین بزیر آ منکرا بنگر بوی
The Shaykh said: "This is indeed neither cup nor wine;
come down, O denier—look, smell its scent."
آمد و دید انگبین خاص بودکور شد آن دشمن کور و کبود
He came and saw it was pure honey;
that blind enemy was confounded, livid and dark.
گفت پیر آن دم مرید خویش رارو برای من بجو می ای کیا
The elder said at that moment to his disciple:
"Go seek wine for me, O noble one,
که مرا رنجیست مضطر گشته اممن ز رنج از مخمصه بگذشته ام
for I have an ailment and am in a state of necessity;
I have passed through distress from my pain.
در ضرورت هست هر مردار پاکبر سر منکر ز لعنت باد خاک
In necessity every carrion is clean;
upon the head of the denier may the dust of curses fall."
گرد خمخانه بر آمد آن مریدبهر شیخ از هر خمی او می چشید
That disciple went around the wine-house,
tasting from every vat for the Shaykh's sake.
در همه خمخانه ها او می ندیدگشته بد پر از عسل خم نبید
In all the wine-houses he found no wine;
the vats of fermented drink had become filled with honey.
گفت ای رندان چه حالست این چه کارهیچ خمی در نمی بینم عقار
He said: "O rogues, what state is this, what affair?
I see not one vat that contains wine."
جمله رندان نزد آن شیخ آمدندچشم گریان دست بر سر می زدند
All the rogues came to that Shaykh,
weeping, striking their hands upon their heads:
در خرابات آمدی شیخ اجلجمله میها از قدومت شد عسل
"O supreme Shaykh, you have come to the tavern;
all the wines have turned to honey by your advent.
کرده ای مبدل تو می را از حدثجان ما را هم بدل کن از خبث
You have transformed wine from its impurity;
transform our souls too from filth.
گر شود عالم پر از خون مال مالکی خورد بندهٔ خدا الا حلال
Even if the world were brimming full of blood,
when would God's servant eat anything but the lawful?"
