بخش ۳۴ - حکایت آن قاضی غریب که پادشاه بر وی غضب کرد و گفت که خانه اش را به غارت از هر چه دارد بپردازند و خایه اش را بیرون کرده خصی سازند / Section 34 - The Tale of That Stranger Judge upon Whom the King Grew Wrathful and Ordered That His House Be Plundered of Whatever It Contained, and That His Testicles Be Removed and He Be Made a Eunuch

Original content

غریبی ز فضل و هنر بهره ور
تن از جامه خالی کف از سیم و زر

به شهر دگر شد ز تنگی مقیم
که بود اندر او شهریاری حکیم

به خلق کریمانه بنواختش
به شغل قضا محترم ساختش

به سر برد یکچند مشغول کار
ز ناگه بر او تیره شد روزگار

شد از تهمت حسد پر ستیز
به ناکرده جرمی بر او شاه نیز

به غراتگران گفت اشارت کنند
کش از سیم و زر خانه غارت کنند

چو بیند تهی خانه خویشتن
ببرند تصحیف آنش ز تن

چو مسکین دلی با دو صد غصه جفت
شنید از لب شاه این قصه، گفت:

نرنجم که بر خانه آید شکست
ز تصحیف آنم بدارید دست

من این را ز شهر خود آورده ام
نه حاصل به شهر شما کرده ام

ز شهر شما هر چه اندوختم
ازان چشم امید بردوختم

شما هم ره لطف گیرید پیش
بدوزید از آورده ام چشم خویش

چو شه لطف گفتار او را شنید
ز خشمی که بودش فرو آرمید

بفرمود تا دست ازو داشتند
چنانش که می خواست بگذاشتند

ز سیم و زر خانه دامن فشاند
بشد عارضی ها و ذاتی بماند

بیا ساقی آن آتشین می بیار
که سوزد ز ما آنچه ناید به کار

زر ناب ما گردد افروخته
شود هر چه نی زر بود سوخته

بیا مطرب و باد در دم به نی
که از خرمن هستیم باد وی

بدور افکند کاه بیگانه را
گذارد پی مرغ جان دانه را

English translation

A stranger, endowed with learning and skill, his body bare of clothing, his palm bare of silver and gold, out of hardship took up residence in another city, in which there dwelt a wise ruler. With a generous nature the ruler received him kindly, and honored him with the office of judge. For a time he passed his days busied with the work, when suddenly fortune turned dark upon him. Through an accusation born of envy he was beset with strife, and for an uncommitted crime the king too turned against him. He told the plunderers to give the order, that they strip his house of its silver and gold, and when he sees his own house emptied, that they cut from his body that "altered word" [his manhood]. When the poor-hearted man, wedded to two hundred sorrows, heard this tale from the king's lips, he said: "I do not grieve that ruin comes upon my house; only withhold your hand from that part of me. This I brought with me from my own city; I did not acquire it here in your city. Whatever I amassed from your city, from that I have already sewn shut the eye of hope. You too, take the path of kindness, and sew shut your eye from what I brought." When the king heard the grace of his speech, he subsided from the anger that was in him. He commanded that they hold their hands from him, and left him just as he wished. He shook his house's skirt free of silver and gold; the accidental things departed and the essential remained. Come, cupbearer, bring that fiery wine, that it may burn away from us whatever is of no use. Our pure gold becomes kindled bright, and whatever was not gold is burned away. Come, minstrel, and blow your breath into the reed, for its music rises from the harvest of our being. It casts the alien chaff away, and leaves the grain for the bird of the soul.
