متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

رفت وقتی زنی نکو در راهشده از کارهای مرد آگاه
Once a beautiful woman was walking on the road,
Fully aware of the ways of men.
دید مردی جوان مر آن زن راکرد پیدا در آن زمان فن را
A young man saw that woman,
And at that time displayed his artifice.
بر پی زن برفت مرد به راهزن ز پس کرد با کرشمه نگاه
The man went following the woman on the path;
The woman looked back with coquetry,
کای جوانمرد بر پی ام به چه کارآمده ستی به خیره رو بگذار
Saying, 'O young man, for what purpose are you following me?
You have come in vain, go away and leave me.'
مرد گفتا که عاشق تو شدمای چو عذرا ! چو وامق تو شدم
The man said, 'I have fallen in love with you;
O you who are like Azra! I have become your Wamiq.
بیم آنست کز غم تو کنونبدوم در جهان شوم مجنون
There is a fear that now from sorrow for you,
I will run out into the world and become a madman.
شد وجودم بر آن جمال ز دستشیشهٔ جان به سنگ غم بشکست
My existence is lost to that beauty;
The glass of my soul is broken by the stone of sorrow.
با من اکنون نه حال ماند و نه هوششد زیادت مرا جهان فرموش
Now neither my state nor my senses remain;
The world is largely forgotten by me.
ظاهر و باطنم به تو مشغولگشت و شد از جهانیان معزول
My outer and inner self are occupied with you;
And have become isolated from the people of the world.'
کرد حیلت بر او زن دانازانکه آن مرد بود بس کانا
The wise woman played a trick on him,
Because that man was quite foolish.
گفت گر شد دلت به من مشغولشد وجودم دل ترا مبذول
She said, 'If your heart has become occupied with me,
And my existence has captured your heart,
گفت زن گر جمال خواهر منبنگری ساعتی شوی الکن
If you were to look at the beauty of my sister,
For a moment you would be left speechless.
همچو ماه است در شب ده و چاربنگر آنک چو صدهزار نگار
She is like the moon on the fourteenth night;
Look there, she is like a hundred thousand beauties.'
مرد کرد التفات زی پس و زنگفت کای سر به سر تو حیلت و فن
The man turned his attention behind him, and the woman
Said, 'O you who are from head to toe trickery and artifice!
عشق و پس التفات زی دگران ؟سوی غیری به غافلی نگران ؟
Love, and then turning your attention to others?
Looking heedlessly toward another?'
زد ورا یک طپانچه بر رخسارتا شد از درد چشم او خونبار
She struck him a slap on the cheek,
So hard that from the pain his eyes rained blood.
گفت کای فن فروش دستان خرگر بدی از جهان به منت نظر
She said, 'O seller of tricks, buyer of deceit!
If out of the world your gaze was upon me,
ور وجودت به من بدی مشغولنبدی غیر من برت مقبول
And if your existence was occupied with me,
Other than me, no one would be acceptable to you.
کل تو سوی کل من ناظرگر بدی کی شدی ز من صابر ؟
If your whole being were observing my whole being,
When could you bear to be apart from me?
جز به من التفات کی کردی ؟غم زشت و نکو کجا خوردی ؟
When would you pay attention to anyone but me?
Why would you care for the ugly or the beautiful?
ور نهادت مرا بدی مطلقبه دگر کس کجا شدی ملحق ؟
And if your nature were absolutely mine,
How could you be attached to another person?
سوی جز من چو التفات آریاز جمال رخم برات آری
When you bring your attention toward someone other than me,
You bring a release from the beauty of my face.
مرد لافی نه مرد آلافیناف رنگی نه رنگ را نافی
You are a man of boasts, not a man of true worth;
You are the center of pretense, not the negator of pretense.
سست بازار و سخت آزاریخربزه خور نه خربزه کاری
Your market is weak, your harming is strong;
You are an eater of melons, not a grower of melons.
سوخته مغز و خام گفتاریسوده سودا و ساده بازاری
You are burnt in mind and raw in speech;
You are worn-out in passion and simple in trade.
هرکه او مدعی بود در عشقهست بیداد کرده او بر عشق
Whoever is a claimant in love,
He has committed an injustice against love.
عشق را راه بر سلامت نیستدر ره عشق استقامت نیست
There is no path to safety in love;
There is no steadfastness in the path of love.'
