حکایت درویشی که عاشق دختر پادشاه شد / The Tale of a Dervish Who Fell in Love with a King's Daughter

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

شهریاری دختری چون ماه داشتعالمی پر عاشق و گمراه داشت
A king had a daughter like the moon,
Who had a world full of lovers and the astray.
فتنه را بیداریی پیوست بودزآنک چشم نیم خوابش مست بود
Turmoil was continuously awake,
Because her half-asleep eyes were intoxicated.
عارض از کافور و زلف از مشک داشتلعل سیراب از لبش، لب خشک داشت
Her cheeks were of camphor and her locks of musk,
The quenched ruby had dry lips from her lips.
گر جمالش ذره ای پیدا شدیعقل از لایعقلی رسوا شدی
If a speck of her beauty were revealed,
Intellect would be disgraced by madness.
گر شکر طعم لبش بشناختیاز خجل بفسردی و بگداختی
If sugar knew the taste of her lips,
It would freeze and melt from shame.
از قضا می رفت درویشی اسیرچشم افتادش بر آن ماه منیر
By chance, a captive dervish was passing by,
His eyes fell upon that radiant moon.
گرده ای در دست داشت آن بی نوانان آون مانده بد بر نانوا
That destitute one had a loaf of bread in his hand,
The hanging bread was left with the baker.
چشم او چون بر رخ آن مه فتادگرده از دستش شد و در ره فتاد
When his eyes fell on the face of that moon,
The loaf left his hand and fell on the path.
دختر از پیشش چو آتش برگذشتخوش درو خندید خوش خوش برگذشت
The daughter passed by him like fire,
She laughed sweetly at him, sweetly passed by.
آن گدا پس خندهٔ او چون بدیدخویش را بر خاک غرق خون بدید
When that beggar saw her laughter,
He saw himself on the dust, drowned in blood.
نیم نان داشت آن گدا و نیم جانزان دو نیمه پاک شد در یک زمان
That beggar had half a loaf and half a soul,
Of those two halves he was stripped clean at once.
نه قرارش بود شب نه روز همدم نزد از گریه و از سوز هم
He had no rest at night, nor during the day,
He did not take a breath from weeping and burning.
یاد کردی خندهٔ آن شهریارگریه افتادی برو چون ابر زار
He remembered the laughter of that princess,
He fell to weeping for her like a crying cloud.
هفت سال القصه بس آشفته بودبا سگان کوی دختر خفته بود
In short, for seven years he was utterly distraught,
He slept with the dogs of the daughter's alley.
خادمان دختر و خدمت گرانجمله گشتند ای عجب واقف بر آن
The daughter's servants and attendants,
All, O wonder, became aware of this.
عزم کردند آن جفاکاران به جمعتا ببرند آن گدا را سر چو شمع
Those cruel ones resolved together,
To cut off that beggar's head like a candle.
در نهان دختر گدا را خواند و گفتچون تویی را چون منی کی بود جفت؟
In secret, the daughter called the beggar and said,
"How could one like you be a match for one like me?
قصد تو دارند، بگریز و بروبر درم منشین، برخیز و برو
They intend to harm you, flee and go,
Do not sit at my door, arise and go."
آن گدا گفتا که من آن روز دستشسته ام از جان که گشتم از تو مست
That beggar said, "On that day I washed my hands
Of life, when I became intoxicated by you.
صد هزاران جان چون من بی قرارباد بر روی تو هر ساعت نثار
May a hundred thousand restless souls like me,
Be sacrificed to your face every hour.
چون مرا خواهند کشتن ناصوابیک سؤالم را به لطفی ده جواب
Since they want to kill me unjustly,
By your grace, answer one question of mine.
چون مرا سر می بریدی رایگاناز چه خندیدی تو در من آن زمان
Since you would cut off my head for nothing,
Why did you laugh at me at that time?"
گفت: چون می دیدمت، ای بی هنر!بر تو می خندیدم آن، ای بی خبر!
She said: "When I saw you, O artless one!
I was laughing at you then, O ignorant one!
بر سر و روی تو خندیدن رواستلیک در روی تو خندیدن خطاست
It is fitting to laugh at your head and face,
But it is a mistake to laugh in your face."
این بگفت و رفت از پیشش چو دودهر چه بود اصلا همه آن هیچ بود
She said this and went from him like smoke,
Whatever existed, basically, all of it was nothing.
