بخش ۱۱۶ - حکایت نصیحت قبول کردن عمر عبدالعزیز از غلام خود که خازن بیت المال بود / Section 116 - The Tale of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz Accepting the Advice of His Servant Who Was the Treasurer of the Public Treasury

Original content

عمر ثانی آن همچو نخست
کرده در دین سبق عدل درست

داشت در ستر حرم فرزندان
چون پدر جمله سعادتمندان

عید شد پیش پدر جمع شدند
همه پروانه آن شمع شدند

اشک از دیده فشاندند چو شمع
کای پریشانی عالم به تو جمع

با تن عور چو شمعیم همه
بهر جامه شده جمعیم همه

نیست از اطلس اکسون سخنی
همچو فانوس کم از پیرهنی

تا به کی سرزنش دایه کشیم
سردی طعنه همسایه کشیم

چون عمر گریه فرزندان دید
بار غم بر دلشان نپسندید

بنده ای داشت عجب فرخ فال
کار او خازنی بیت المال

گفتش آور بدر از مخزن خویش
خرج یک ماهه من بی کم و بیش

کار این چند جگرگوشه بساز
خرجی من به دگر ماه انداز

بنده گفتا که تویی ای خواجه
بر سر دفتر دین دیباچه

می ندانم که تو را ضامن کیست
که یکی هفته دگر خواهی زیست

چون خوری مال مسلمانان را
گر بمیری که دهد تاوان را

عمر آن نکته نیکو چو شنفت
آفرین کرد و به فرزندان گفت

روی در زاویه درد کنید
وین هوس بر دل خود سرد کنید

زانکه بی خون جگر پالودن
نیست امکان به بهشت آسودن

English translation

Umar the Second, who like the first, Had established a true precedent of justice in religion, Had children in the privacy of his household, Who, like their father, were all blessed. Eid arrived, and they gathered before their father, All becoming like moths around that candle. They shed tears from their eyes like a candle, Saying, 'O you by whom the distress of the world is resolved, With naked bodies, we are all like candles; We have all gathered here for the sake of clothing. There is no talk of satin or precious robes, But like a lantern, we lack even a shirt. How long must we bear the reproaches of the nurse, And endure the coldness of the neighbors' taunts?' When Umar saw the weeping of his children, He did not approve of the burden of grief upon their hearts. He had a servant of wondrously auspicious fortune, Whose duty was being the treasurer of the public treasury. He said to him, 'Bring forth from your treasury, My monthly allowance, neither more nor less. Provide for these few beloved children of mine, And defer my allowance to the next month.' The servant said, 'O Master, you who are The preface to the ledger of faith, I do not know who is your guarantor That you will live for even another week. How can you consume the wealth of the Muslims? If you die, who will repay the debt?' When Umar heard that beautiful point, He praised him and said to his children, 'Turn your faces to the corner of pain, And cool down this desire in your hearts, For without filtering the blood of the liver, It is not possible to rest in Paradise.'
