دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۵۴ - وجه عبرت گرفتن ازین حکایت و یقین دانستن کی ان مع العسر یسرا / Book Three - Section 154 - Taking Warning from This Tale and Knowing for Certain That Indeed with Hardship Comes Ease

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

عبرتست آن قصه ای جان مر تراتا که راضی باشی در حکم خدا
That story is a lesson for you, O soul,
So that you may be content in God's decree.
تا که زیرک باشی و نیکوگمانچون ببینی واقعهٔ بد ناگهان
So that you may be shrewd and of good faith,
When you suddenly witness an evil event.
دیگران گردند زرد از بیم آنتو چو گل خندان گه سود و زیان
Others turn pale with fear of it,
While you, like a rose, smile in times of gain and loss.
زانک گل گر برگ برگش می کنیخنده نگذارد نگردد منثنی
For if you pluck the rose petal by petal,
It does not abandon its smile, does not bow.
گوید از خاری چرا افتم به غمخنده را من خود ز خار آورده ام
It says: Why should I fall into grief over a thorn?
I myself have brought my smile forth from the thorn.
هرچه از تو یاوه گردد از قضاتو یقین دان که خریدت از بلا
Whatever is lost from you by divine decree,
Know with certainty that it has purchased you from affliction.
ما التصوف قال وجدان الفرحفی الفؤاد عند اتیان الترح
"What is Sufism?" He said: "Finding joy
in the heart when sorrow arrives."
آن عقابش را عقابی دان که اودر ربود آن موزه را زان نیک خو
Know that eagle's act as a chastisement — it
Snatched that boot from that good-natured soul,
تا رهاند پاش را از زخم مارای خنک عقلی که باشد بی غبار
So that it might save his foot from the serpent's wound.
O blessed is the intellect that is without murk!
گفت لا تاسوا علی ما فاتکمان اتی السرحان واردی شاتکم
He said: "Grieve not over what has escaped you,
Even if the wolf has come upon those who water your flock."
کان بلا دفع بلاهای بزرگو آن زیان منع زیانهای سترگ
For that affliction was warding off greater afflictions,
And that loss was preventing enormous losses.
