بخش ۱۵ - رشید وطواط / Section 15 - Rashid Vatvat

Original content

رشید وطواط - رحمه الله تعالی، وی از شعرای ماوراء النهر است در وقت خود استاد شعرا و مقدم و پیشوای آن طبقه بود، و کتاب حدایق السحر در صنایع شعر تصنیف اوست و در مخاطبه بعضی از وزرا می گوید:
تو وزیری و مدح گوی تو من

دست من بی عطا روا بینی
تو وزارت به من گذار و مرا

مدحتی گوی تا عطا بینی
و این دو رباعی نیز از زاده طبع وی است:

بر یاد تو بی تو این جهان گذران
بگذاشتم ای ماه تو از بی خبران

دست از همه شستم و نشستم به کران
چون بی تو گذشت بگذرد بی دگران

چشمی دارم همه پر از صورت دوست
با دیده مرا خوش است چون دوست در اوست

از دیده و دوست فرق کردن نه نکوست
یا اوست به جای دیده یا دیده هموست

English translation

Rashid Vatvat - may God the Exalted have mercy upon him. He is among the poets of Transoxiana (Mawara al-Nahr). In his time he was the master of poets and the foremost leader of that class, and the book Hadaiq al-Sihr on the crafts of poetry is his composition. In addressing one of the viziers he says: You are a vizier and I your panegyrist; do you deem my hand fitting without a gift? Entrust the vizierate to me, and you recite a eulogy, that you may see a reward. And these two quatrains are also born of his talent: In memory of you, without you, I have passed through this transient world; I let it go, O my moon, away from the heedless ones. I washed my hands of all and sat apart; since it passed without you, it will pass without others too. I have an eye wholly filled with the image of the beloved; with that eye I am content, since the beloved dwells within it. To distinguish between the eye and the beloved is not seemly: either the beloved stands in place of the eye, or the eye is the very same as the beloved.
