متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

مصطفی کو بود دل جان را ز قدرمنبری بنهاد حسان را ز قدر
Mustafa, who in worth was the heart of the soul,
Set up a pulpit for Hassan out of respect.
بر سر منبر فرستادش پگاهتا ادا میکرد شعر آنجایگاه
He sent him atop the pulpit early in the day,
So that he might recite poetry in that place.
گه ثنا گفتیش گه آراستیگاه از وی قطعهٔ درخواستی
Sometimes he praised him, sometimes he embellished,
Sometimes he requested a piece of verse from him.
بنگرید ای منکران بیوفاتا کرا بنهاد منبر مصطفی
Look, O faithless deniers,
For whom Mustafa set up a pulpit!
گفت حسان را ز احسان و کرمهست جبریل امین با تو بهم
Out of kindness and generosity, he told Hassan:
"The trustworthy Gabriel is together with you."
خواجهٔ دنیا و دین شمع کرامخواند ایشان را امیران کلام
The master of the world and religion, the candle of the noble,
Called them the commanders of speech.
شعر را جاوید چون نبود مزیداصدق قول عرب قول لبید
Since poetry eternally has no addition,
"The truest word of the Arabs is the word of Labid."
مصطفی گفته ست شعر نامدارچون سخنهای دگر دارد شمار
Mustafa has spoken renowned poetry,
For it is accounted for like other speech.
زشت او زشت و نکوی اونکوستزشت دشمن دار نیکو دار دوست
Its ugly is ugly and its good is good,
Hold the ugly as an enemy, hold the good as a friend.
از ابوبکر وعمر هم شعر خواستاشعر از هر دو علی مرتضا است
From Abu Bakr and Umar, he also requested poetry,
More poetic than both is Ali al-Murtada.
نظم حسانی و اشعار حسنهست منقول از حسین و از حسن
The verses of Hassan and the poems of Hasan,
Are transmitted from Husayn and from Hasan.
شافعی را شعر هم بسیار هستوز امامان دگر اشعار هست
Shafi'i, too, has an abundance of poetry,
And there are poems from the other Imams.
شعر اگر حکمت بود طاعت بودقیمتش هر روز و هر ساعت بود
If poetry is wisdom, it is an act of devotion,
Its value remains every day and every hour.
شعر بر حکمت پناهی یافتستکو به یؤتی الحکمه راهی یافتست
Poetry has found a refuge in wisdom,
For it has found a path to "He grants wisdom."
شعر مدح و هزل گفتن هیچ نیستشعر حکمت به که در وی پیچ نیست
Poetry of mere praise and jest is nothing,
Poetry of wisdom is better, in which there is no twisting.
