بخش ۳۶ - در حکم راندن پادشاه / Section 36 - On the Rule of the King

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

پایهٔ قدر آن جهانی جویسایه و فر آسمانی جوی
Seek the foundation of power in that world,
Seek the heavenly shadow and glory.
همت اندر نهاد عالی داردل ز کار زمانه خالی دار
Keep your ambition high in your nature,
Empty your heart of the affairs of the world.
دست از این آبهای جوی بشویشربت از آب حوض کوثری جوی
Wash your hands of the waters of this stream,
Seek a drink from the water of the pool of Kawthar.
ملک باقی کمال ساز بودملک دنیا خیال باز بود
The eternal kingdom is the builder of perfection,
The kingdom of the world is a player of illusions.
نیست این ملک دهر را حاصلملک بقی طلب برآن نه دل
There is no harvest for this worldly kingdom,
Seek the eternal kingdom, set your heart upon it.
دل چه بندی در این سرای مجازهمت پست کی رسد به فراز
Why do you bind your heart to this metaphorical abode?
How can low ambition reach the heights?
اوست مقصود هر دو عالم توزو تسلی رسد بدین غم تو
He is your purpose in both worlds,
From Him comes consolation for this sorrow of yours.
به سگان مان برای مرداریسایه و فر استخوان خواری
Leave the carrion to the dogs,
Along with the shadow and glory of bone-eating.
امر و نهی زمانه خوابی دانسر آبش تو چون سرابی دان
Consider the commands and prohibitions of the world as a dream,
Consider its water source as a mirage.
تشنه چون زی سراب روی نهادپشت اقبال در برو بگشاد
When the thirsty one turns towards the mirage,
Fortune turns its back on him.
چکنی پنج روزه ملک خیالکز پی تست ملک عز و جلال
What will you do with a five-day kingdom of illusion,
When the kingdom of glory and majesty is meant for you?
به سراب از سر طمع مشتابزانکه نبود سراب را پایاب
Do not hasten towards the mirage out of greed,
Because the mirage has no bottom.
صدهزاران جنیبت اندر زینهست پیش سرای پردهٔ دین
A hundred thousand led-horses are saddled,
Before the pavilion of religion.
اوت ره داد اوت شه دارداوت برداشت او نگه دارد
He gave you the way, He keeps you as king,
He raised you, He sustains you.
تخت تو بر رخ زمین عارستگردن چرخ بهر این کارست
Your throne on the face of the earth is a disgrace,
The neck of the celestial sphere is meant for this purpose.
کام زخم زمانه کام تراستاشهب و ادهمش لگام تراست
The desire of the wounds of time is your desire,
Its day and night are under your bridle.
