بخش ۴۲ - حکایت و مثل فی لذّة الدنیا مع شدّة العقبی / Section 42 - A Story and Allegory on the Pleasure of the World with the Hardship of the Hereafter

Original content

آن بنشنیده ای که در راهی
آن مخنث چه گفت با داهی

که همی شد پی گشاد گره
بهر بی بی به سوی زاهد ده

تا برو میوه سست شاخ شود
راه زادن برو فراخ شود

چون مخنث بدید هندو را
زو بپرسید و او بگفت او را

گفت بگذار ترهات خسان
شو به بی بی سلام من برسان

پس به بی بی بگوی کز ره درد
با چنین کون هلیله نتوان خورد

چون چشیدی حلاوت گادن
بکش اکنون مشقت زادن

تو ندانسته ای که خوردن کیر
ننگ و نامی ندارد اندر زیر

سگ اگر جلد بودی و فربه
بی شکاری نگرددی در ده

غافلند از نهاد خود مردم
هیچ ندهند داد خود مردم

English translation

Have you not heard what, upon a road, That effeminate one said to a clever man, Who was going to untie a knot, For the lady, towards the ascetic of the village, So that the fruit would become loose on her branch, And the path of giving birth would become wide for her? When the effeminate one saw the servant, He asked him, and he told him. He said, "Leave the nonsense of the base; Go and convey my greetings to the lady. Then tell the lady that, out of pain, With such an anus one cannot eat myrobalan (a purgative). Since you tasted the sweetness of copulation, Endure now the hardship of giving birth. Did you not know that taking the phallus, Brings neither shame nor fame beneath? If a dog were swift and fat, It would not roam the village without prey. People are heedless of their own nature; People do not render themselves justice at all."
