بخش ۵ - عنصری / Section 5 - Unsuri

Original content

عنصری - رحمه الله تعالی - مقدم شعرای عصر خود بوده است و وی را یمین الدوله محمود سبکتگین به نظر قبول ملاحظات فرموده و سخنان وی است این دو بیت در مدح:
تو آن شاهی که اندر شرق و در غرب

جهود و گبر و ترسا و مسلمان
همی گویند در تسبیح و تهلیل

که یارب عاقبت محمود گردان
واین رباعی دیگر:

بگرفت سر زلف تو رنگ از دل تو
بزدود وفا و مهر زنگ از دل تو

تا کم نشود کبر پلنگ از دل تو
موم از دل من برند و سنگ از دل تو

و گویند وی را مثنویات بسیار بوده است موشح به مدح سلطان مذکور، و یکی از آن جمله موسوم است به وامق و عذرا اما از آنها عین و اثر پیدا نیست.

English translation

Unsuri — may God the Exalted have mercy on him — was the foremost of the poets of his age, and Yamin al-Dawla Mahmud Sabuktakin regarded him with an eye of favor and consideration. Among his words are these two verses in praise:

You are that king whom, in the East and in the West, Jew and Zoroastrian and Christian and Muslim, all keep saying in their glorification and praise of God: 'O Lord, make Mahmud's end praiseworthy.'

And this other quatrain:

The tip of your tress took its color from your heart; Faithfulness and love polished the rust from your heart; So that the leopard's pride might not lessen in your heart, They take wax from my heart and stone from yours.

And they say he had many masnavis adorned with the praise of the aforementioned sultan, one of which is named 'Vamiq and Azra'; but no trace or sign of them can now be found.
