بخش ۷۰ - تعزیت گفتن حکیم سوم / Section 70 - The Third Sage Offering Condolences

Original content

حکیم دوم چون لب از نطق بست
سیم این شکر طوطی آسا شکست

که ای عرش بلقیس فرش درت
مه و مهر ازان خشت سیم و زرت

سکندر اگر عمر بر باد داد
به اقبال تو ملکش آباد باد

رسد بانگ ازین طارم زرنگار
که سخت است داغ جدایی ز یار

وز آن سخت تر ناسپاسی بود
که بیرون ز یزدان شناسی بود

به آن دامن یار ناید به کف
شود نیز مزد مصیبت تلف

چه زیرک بود هر که زین درد سخت
کشد بر در صبر و آرام رخت

نه تلخ از جزع گردد امروز و شور
نه از مزد ماند در آینده دور

بحمدالله ای آگه از خوب و زشت
که باشد تو را آگهی در سرشت

ز افراط و تفریط خاطر تهی
روی راست بر موجب آگهی

همی رو بر این سیرت مستقیم
همی زی ز آفات گیتی سلیم

English translation

When the second sage closed his lips from speech, the third, parrot-like, cracked open this sugar, saying: O you whose throne is Bilqis and whose door's carpet the moon and sun are but a brick of your silver and gold, if Alexander gave his life to the wind, by your good fortune may his kingdom stay prosperous. A cry comes from this gilded dome that hard indeed is the brand of parting from a beloved, yet harder still is ingratitude, which is to acknowledge anyone apart from God. By such grief the beloved is not regained, and the reward of the affliction is likewise squandered. How shrewd is whoever, out of this hard pain, carries his baggage to the door of patience and calm: he grows neither bitter and distraught today from wailing, nor is left, in the far future, without reward. Praise be to God, O you who discern the fair and the foul, for awareness is woven into your very nature. Empty your mind of excess and of deficiency, turn straight in accordance with awareness; keep walking upon this upright conduct, keep living safe from the afflictions of the world.
