بخش ۴۵ / Section 45

Original content

شاعری پیش صاحب عباد قصیده ای آورد، هر بیت از دیوانی و هر معنی زاده طبع سخندانی. صاحب گفت: از برای ما عجب قطار شتر آورده ای که اگر کسی مهارشان بگشاید هر یک به گله دیگر گراید!
همی گفتی به دعوی دی که باشد

به پیش شعر عذبم انگبین هیچ
ز هر جا جمع کردی چند بیتی

به دیوانت نبینم غیر ازین هیچ
اگر هریک به جای خود رود باز

بجز کاغذ نماند بر زمین هیچ

English translation

A poet brought a qasida to Sahib ibn Abbad, every couplet from a different divan and every meaning born of the talent of another eloquent poet. The Sahib said: You have brought us a strange caravan of camels — for if someone were to loosen their halters, each one would drift off toward a different herd! Yesterday you kept claiming, boastfully, that before my sweet poetry honey is nothing. From here and there you gathered a few couplets; in your divan I see nothing but this. If each one were to return to its own place, nothing but paper would remain on the ground.
