بخش ۱۶ - اندر مذمّت کسانی که به جامه و لقمه مغرور باشند / Section 16 - In Condemnation of Those Who Are Proud of Clothing and Morsels

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

جامه از بهر عورت عامه استخاصگان را برهنگی جامه است
Garments are for the nakedness of the common people
For the elect, nakedness is their garment
مر زنان راست جامه اندر خورحیدر و مرد و جوشن اندر بر
Garments are fitting and proper for women
Haidar and the man wear a coat of mail on their breast
جامه بر عورتان پسندیدستجامهٔ دیبه آفت دیدست
Clothing is approved for women
The garment of brocade is an affliction to the sight
مرد را در لباس خلقان جویگنج در کنجهای ویران جوی
Seek the man in tattered clothes
Seek the treasure in ruined corners
مر زنان راست جامه تو بر تومرد را روز نو و روزی نو
For women there are garments fold upon fold
For the man, a new day and a new provision
چون نباشد ملامت و اتعاظبس بود جامهٔ برهنه حفاظ
Since there is no reproach and admonition
The garment of nakedness is sufficient protection
مر زنان را برهنگی جامه استخاصه آن را که شوخ و خودکامه است
For women, nakedness is their garment
Especially the one who is insolent and self-willed
نیست زن را به جامه خانهٔ هوشبه ز عریانی ایچ عورت پوش
The woman does not have a house of intellect in her garment
Better than nakedness is any cover for the private parts
عورتانند جاهلان که و مههرکه پوشیده تر ز عورت به
The ignorant ones, whether great or small, are nakedness
Whoever is more covered from nakedness is better
باقیی در بقای معنی کوشپنبه رو بازده به پنبه فروش
Strive to remain in the permanence of meaning
Give the cotton back to the cotton-seller
چکند عقل جامهٔ زیبانقش دیبا چه داند از دیبا
What does the intellect do with beautiful clothes
What does the painted figure on brocade know of brocade
چه کشی از پی هوس تن راگرمی عشق جامه بس تن را
Why do you drag the body after desire
The warmth of love is sufficient clothing for the body
دین به زیر کلاه داری توزان هوای گناه داری تو
You keep your religion hidden under your hat
For that reason, you have the desire for sin
با کلاه از هوای تن نجهیسر پدید آید ار کله بنهی
With a hat, you will not escape the desires of the body
The head will appear if you put down the hat
چون سرآمد پدید در شبگیرپای ذر نه عمارت از سر گیر
When the head appears at dawn
Step forward and begin building anew
یک شبی رو به وقت شبگیرانبا حذر در نهان ز خر گیران
One night, go at the time of the early risers
With caution, secretly away from the oppressors
سر خود را پدید کن ز کلاهتوبه این است از گذشته گناه
Reveal your head from the hat
This is repentance from past sins
چه شد ار بر سر تو افسر نیستخرد اندر سرست و بر سر نیست
What does it matter if there is no crown on your head
Intellect is inside the head and not upon the head
نقش آنها کز اهل محرابنددر جریدهٔ مجردان یابند
The mark of those who belong to the mihrab
They will find in the register of the detached
آنکه نقش کلاه و سر دارندزن و زنبیل و زور و زر دارند
Those who have the mark of hat and head
Have a wife, a basket, power, and gold
متأهل دو پای خود در بستسر خود را به دست خود بشکست
The married man has tied his own two feet
He has broken his own head with his own hands
گر زید ور بمیرد آن بدبخترخت و بختش بماند زیر درخت
Whether that unfortunate one lives or dies
His belongings and fortune will remain under the tree
همچنین ژنده جامه باید بوددر خور عقل عامه باید بود
Thus one must be wearing tattered clothes
One must be fitting for the intellect of the common masses
کانکه از عقل عامه دور افتادآب عمرش بداد خاک به باد
For whoever falls far from the intellect of the masses
The earth gave the water of his life to the wind
