المقالة الخامسة / The Fifth Discourse

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

دوم فرزند آمد با پدر گفتکه من در جادوئی خواهم گهر سفت
The second son came and said to his father
That I wish to pierce the pearl in magic
ز عالم جادوئی می خواهدم دلمرا گر جادوئی آید به حاصل
From the world, my heart desires magic
If magic should come to my attainment
تماشا می کنم در هر دیاریبشادی می زیم بر هر کناری
I would observe every land
I would live in joy in every corner
گهی در صلح باشم گاه در حرببود جولانگه، من شرق تا غرب
Sometimes I would be at peace, sometimes at war
My roaming ground would be from East to West
زمانی خویشتن را مرغ سازمزمانی همچو مردم سرفرازم
At times I would make myself a bird
At times I would hold my head high like people
زمانی کوه گیرم چون پلنگانزمانی بحر شورم چون نهنگان
At times I would take to the mountains like leopards
At times I would churn the sea like whales
همه صاحب جمالان را به بینمدرون پرده با هر یک نشینم
I would see all the possessors of beauty
I would sit with each one behind the curtain
بهر چیزی که باید راه یابمز ماهی حکم خود تا ماه یابم
I would find a way to everything that is needed
I would find my command from the fish to the moon
درین منصب تأمل کن نکو توازین خوشتر کرا باشد بگو تو
Reflect well upon this position you
Tell me, who could have anything better than this?
