متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دست دین کن به علم و عدل قویچون سگ پای سوخته چه دوی
Strengthen the hand of religion with knowledge and justice;
Why do you run around like a dog with burnt feet?
این ترا گویم ای لهاوریکز جمال حریم حق دوری
I say this to you, O Lahori,
Because you are far from the beauty of the divine sanctuary.
لیکن آن کس که سینه صاف کندکعبه بر درگهش طواف کند
But the one who purifies his breast,
The Kaaba itself circumambulates his threshold.
تو نه ای همچو سیر در یک پوستبرگ تو چون پیاز تو بر توست
You are not like garlic inside a single skin;
Your leaves, like an onion, are folded layer upon layer.
یوسف تو هنوز در چاهستکش نه هنگام افسر و گاهست
Your Joseph is still in the well;
It is not yet his time for the crown and throne.
مهر نادیده ماه کی شود اوبنده نابوده شاه کی شود او
Without seeing the sun, how can he become a moon?
Without being a servant, how can he become a king?
بنده شو تا دمی زبون باشیتا بدانی که شاه چون باشی
Become a servant and be humble for a moment,
So that you may know how it is to be a king.
بد و نیکت ز بیم و اومید استشب و روزت ز خاک و خورشید است
Your good and bad stem from fear and hope;
Your night and day depend on the earth and the sun.
تو هنوز آنچنان نه ای کز رنگاز تو دین و خرد ندارد ننگ
You are not yet such that, due to your color,
Religion and intellect would not feel disgraced by you.
هرچه ز آغاز دل به رنج بودعاقبت ناز و عز و گنج بود
Whatever brings pain to the heart at the beginning
Will ultimately bring comfort, honor, and treasure.
چند تر دامنی و لاف و صلفشرمسارست آدم از تو خلف
How long this impurity, boasting, and vanity?
Adam is ashamed of you as his descendant.
تو به آدم به خلقتی مانندورنه از راه حق نه ای فرزند
You resemble Adam in physical form,
Otherwise, you are not a child of the path of Truth.
خلقتت هست خلقت آدملیک معنی آدمی مبهم
Your physical creation is indeed that of Adam,
But the true meaning of humanity in you is obscure.
مادری را که رستمی زایددرد زه در زمانش بگزاید
The mother who gives birth to a Rostam
Must suffer intense labor pains at the moment of birth.
گربه بر شیربچه باشد چیرشیر درد چو گشت روزی شیر
A cat may dominate a lion cub,
But the lion will tear it to pieces once it grows into a lion.
گرچه آن دم بود ز گربه رمانگربه زاید به عطسه ای پس از آن
Though at that moment it fled from the cat,
The lion can sneeze out a cat after that.
تو ز موشان مدار طمع صلاحکانچه فاسق نباشد اهل فلاح
Do not expect righteousness from mice,
For only that which is not corrupt can attain salvation.
