متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

آن بنشنیده ای که در راهیآن مخنث چه گفت با داهی
Have you not heard what, upon a road,
That effeminate one said to a clever man,
که همی شد پی گشاد گرهبهر بی بی به سوی زاهد ده
Who was going to untie a knot,
For the lady, towards the ascetic of the village,
تا برو میوه سست شاخ شودراه زادن برو فراخ شود
So that the fruit would become loose on her branch,
And the path of giving birth would become wide for her?
چون مخنث بدید هندو رازو بپرسید و او بگفت او را
When the effeminate one saw the servant,
He asked him, and he told him.
گفت بگذار ترهات خسانشو به بی بی سلام من برسان
He said, "Leave the nonsense of the base;
Go and convey my greetings to the lady.
پس به بی بی بگوی کز ره دردبا چنین کون هلیله نتوان خورد
Then tell the lady that, out of pain,
With such an anus one cannot eat myrobalan (a purgative).
چون چشیدی حلاوت گادنبکش اکنون مشقت زادن
Since you tasted the sweetness of copulation,
Endure now the hardship of giving birth.
تو ندانسته ای که خوردن کیرننگ و نامی ندارد اندر زیر
Did you not know that taking the phallus,
Brings neither shame nor fame beneath?
سگ اگر جلد بودی و فربهبی شکاری نگرددی در ده
If a dog were swift and fat,
It would not roam the village without prey.
غافلند از نهاد خود مردمهیچ ندهند داد خود مردم
People are heedless of their own nature;
People do not render themselves justice at all."
