دفتر سوم - بخش ۵۱ - مثل در بیان آنک حیرت مانع بحث و فکرتست / Book Three - Section 51 - A Parable in Explanation That Bewilderment Prevents Discussion and Reflection

Original content

آن یکی مرد دومو آمد شتاب
پیش یک آیینه دار مستطاب

گفت از ریشم سپیدی کن جدا
که عروس نو گزیدم ای فتی

ریش او ببرید و کل پیشش نهاد
گفت تو بگزین مرا کاری فتاد

این سؤال و آن جوابست آن گزین
که سر اینها ندارد درد دین

آن یکی زد سیلیی مر زید را
حمله کرد او هم برای کید را

گفت سیلی زن سؤالت می کنم
پس جوابم گوی وانگه می زنم

بر قفای تو زدم آمد طراق
یک سؤالی دارم اینجا در وفاق

این طراق از دست من بودست یا
از قفاگاه تو ای فخر کیا

گفت از درد این فراغت نیستم
که درین فکر و تفکر بیستم

تو که بی دردی همی اندیش این
نیست صاحب درد را این فکر هین

English translation

A certain man with two-colored hair came hastily before an esteemed mirror-holder/barber. He said, “Separate the white from my beard, for I have chosen a new bride, O young man.” He cut off his beard and placed the whole of it before him, saying, “You choose; some business has come up for me.” This is the question and that is the answer; choose that, for one who has religious pain has no head for these things. Someone slapped Zayd; he too attacked in order to strike back. The slapper said, “I am asking you a question; answer me, and then I will strike. I struck the nape of your neck and a crack sounded. I have a question here, by agreement: was this crack from my hand, or from the place of your nape, O pride of nobles?” He said, “Because of this pain I have no leisure to stand in this thought and reflection. You, who are without pain, go on thinking about this; the one who has pain has no such thought, beware.”
