بخش ۷ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 7 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

آن یکی دیوانه را می تاختند
کودکانش سنگ می انداختند

درگریخت او زود در قصر عمید
بود او در صدر آن قصر مشید

دید در پیشش نشسته چند کس
باز می راندند از رویش مگس

بانگ بر وی زد عمید از جایگاه
گفت « ای مدبر که داد این جات راه ؟»

گفت « بود از دیدهٔ من خون چکان
زانکه سنگم می زدند این کودکان

آمدم کز کودکان بازم خری
خود تو صد باره ز من عاجزتری

چون ترا در پیش باید چند کس
تا ز رویت باز می راند مگس

کودکان را چون ز من داری تو باز ؟
سرنگونی تو به حق نه سرفراز

تو نه ای میری اسیری دایمی
زانکه محکومی بحق نه حاکمی »

میر آن باشد که با او در کمال
دیگری را نبود از میری مجال

نیست باقی سلطنت بر هیچکس
تا بدانی تو که یک سلطانست بس

English translation

They were attacking a certain madman, Children were throwing stones at him. He quickly fled into the palace of the chief, Who was seated at the head of that lofty palace. He saw several people sitting before him, Driving the flies away from his face. The chief shouted at him from his seat, Saying, 'O wretch, who gave you access to this place?' He replied, 'Blood was dripping from my eyes, Because these children were striking me with stones. I came so that you might save me from the children, But you yourself are a hundred times more helpless than I! Since you need several people before you Just to drive the flies away from your face, How can you hold the children back from me? You are truly overthrown, not exalted. You are no commander; you are a perpetual captive, Because in truth you are ruled, not a ruler.' The true commander is one with whom, in his perfection, There is no room for another to rule. Sovereignty does not remain for anyone, So that you may know there is only One Absolute Sultan.
