بخش ۱۰ - اندر صفت شاهدان گوید / Section 10 - He Speaks on the Description of the Beloveds

Original content

شاهد پیچ پیچ را چکنی
ای کم از هیچ هیچ را چکنی

ای دو بادام تو چو گوز گرو
مانده از دست کودکان در گو

چه کنی باد چون وفاجویان
عمر در وعدهٔ نکورویان

شاهدان زمانه خرد و بزرگ
چشم را یوسفند و دل را گرگ

نقش پر آفتند چینی وار
چشم را گل دهند و دل را خار

باز از این دلبران عالم سوز
عشقشان آتش است و دلها کوز

English translation

What will you do with a deceitful beloved? O you who are less than nothing, what will you do with nothing? O you whose two almonds (eyes) are like pledged walnuts, Left in the hollow by the hands of children. Why do you cast to the wind, like seekers of fidelity, Your life upon the promises of the fair-faced? The beloveds of the age, both small and great, Are Joseph to the eyes, but wolves to the heart. They are calamity-laden portraits, like Chinese paintings, Giving roses to the eyes, but thorns to the heart. Stay away from these world-consuming charmers; Their love is fire, and hearts are the kindling.
