بخش ۲۳ - در مذمت فرزند ناخلف / Section 23 - In Condemnation of the Unworthy Child

Original content

اینکه گفتم حال فرزند نکوست
کش به اصل خویش پیوند نکوست

آن که باشد بد سگال و بد سرشت
در سرشت او هزاران خوی زشت

به بود کز سلک دوران داریش
پیش گیری شیوه بیزاریش

نوح را فرزند چون نااهل بود
فطرت او بر غرور و جهل بود

داغ بر وی لیس من اهلک کشید
روی بیرون رفتن از طوفان ندید

چون نباشد حال هر فرزند نیک
از خدا می کن طلب فرزند لیک

آنچنان فرزند کآخر در دعا
مرگ او جستن نباید از خدا

English translation

That which I said about a child's state being good, Is true of one whose connection to their origin is good. But the one who is ill-minded and evil-natured, With thousands of ugly traits in their character, It is better to keep them out of the circle of your life, And adopt the path of estrangement towards them. Since Noah's son was unworthy, And his nature was built on pride and ignorance, The brand of 'He is not of your family' was stamped upon him, And he found no way to escape the Deluge. Since the state of every child is not good, Do seek a child from God, indeed, But such a child that in the end, in prayer, You would not have to beg God for his death.
