Original content

گفت آن دیوانه با عیشی چو زهر
روز عیدی بود بیرون شد ز شهر

دید خلقی بی عدد آراسته
هر یک از دستی دگر برخاسته

او میان جمله میشد بی خبر
ژندهٔ در بر برهنه پا و سر

آرزو کردش که چون آن خلق راه
جامهٔ نو باشدش در عیدگاه

رفت القصه سوی ویرانهٔ
پس خوشی آغاز کرد افسانهٔ

در دعا آمد که ای دانای راز
جامه و نان مرا کاری بساز

چون بروز عید آن میخواستی
کاین جهان خلق را آراستی

من چو خلقان نیز جان دارم ببین
نه لباسی ونه نان دارم ببین

نقد کن عیدی برای چون منی
کفشی و دستاری و پیراهنی

گر دهیم این هرچه گفتم ماحضر
می نخواهم هیچ تاعید دگر

گرچه بسیاری بگفت آن بیقرار
می نشد چیزی که میخواست آشکار

گفت دستاریم کن این لحظه راست
جامه و کفشم اگر ندهی رواست

مدبری بر بام آن ویرانه بود
این سخن بشنود از دیوانه زود

ژنده دستاریش بود اندر جهان
سوی او انداخت و از وی شد نهان

چون بدید آن ژنده مجنون از شگفت
گشت سودائی و صفرا درگرفت

زود در پیچید نومید و اسیر
سوی بام انداخت گفتا هین بگیر

این چو من دیوانه چون بر سر نهد
جبرئیلت را ده این تادر نهد

عاقلی گر گوید این شیوه سخن
هم بشرعش حد زن و هم زجر کن

این سخن گر عاقلی گوید خطاست
لیکن از دیوانه و عاشق رواست

این سخن دیوانگان را خوش بود
عاشقان را گرمی و آتش بود

English translation

That madman, living a life bitter as poison, spoke, It was the day of Eid, and he went out of the city. He saw an innumerable crowd of people, adorned, Each one having risen from another endeavor. He was walking among them all, unaware, In tattered clothes, bare of foot and head. He desired that, like those people on the road, He might have new clothes in the Eid gathering place. In short, he went towards a ruin, And then delightfully began his tale. He began to pray, saying, 'O Knower of Secrets, Arrange some clothes and bread for me. Since on the day of Eid You desired this, That You adorned the people of this world, I too, like the people, have a soul, look! I have neither clothes nor bread, look! Provide right now an Eid gift for one such as me: A shoe, a turban, and a shirt. If You give me all these things I have said, ready at hand, I will ask for nothing else until the next Eid.' Although that restless one spoke much, The things he wanted did not appear. He said, 'Provide a turban for me right this moment, If You do not give clothes and shoes, it is fine.' A wretched man was on the roof of that ruin, He quickly heard these words from the madman. He had only one tattered turban in the world, He threw it to him and hid himself from him. When the madman saw that tattered thing, out of wonder, He became melancholic and filled with anger. Quickly, hopeless and captive, he rolled it up, Threw it back towards the roof and said, 'Here, take it! How could a madman like me put this on his head? Give this to Your Gabriel so he can wear it!' If a sane person speaks in such a manner, According to the religious law, both flog him and reprimand him. If a sane person says these words, it is a mistake, But from a madman and a lover, it is permissible. These words are pleasant for madmen, For lovers, it is warmth and fire.
