بخش ۲ - الحكایة ‌و التمثیل / Section 2 - The Tale and the Parable

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

کرد در کشتی یکی گبری نشست	موج برخاست و شد آن کشتی ز دست
A Zoroastrian sat in a ship A wave arose and the ship went out of control
سخت میترسید گبر هیچ کس	گفت ای آتش مرا فریاد رس
The helpless Zoroastrian was intensely afraid He said, "O Fire, come to my aid!"
گفت ملاحش خموش ای ژاژ خای	آتش اینجا کی شناسد سر ز پای
The sailor said to him, "Be silent, O babbler! How would fire know head from foot here?
موج چون هم مردکش هم سرکش است	در چنین موجی چه جای آتش است
Since the wave is both a man-killer and rebellious In such a wave, what place is there for fire?
گر کند اینجایگه آتش قرار	تا زند یک دم برآید زو دمار
If fire were to settle in this place The moment it breathes, its ruin would come forth."
گبر گفت ای مرد پس تدبیر چیست	گفت تسلیم است تا تقدیر چیست
The Zoroastrian said, "O man, then what is the solution?" He said, "It is surrender, to see what destiny brings.
چون برآید بحر تقدیرش بجوش	شیر گردد همچو مور آنجا خموش
When the sea of His destiny boils up, The lion becomes silent there like an ant."
