حکایت چوب خوردن بلال / The Tale of Bilal Being Beaten

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

خورد بر یک جایگه روزی بلالبر تن باریک صد چوب و دوال
Bilal once received in a certain place one day,
A hundred sticks and lashes upon his slender body.
خون روان شد زو ز چوب بی عددهم چنان می گفت احد می گفت احد
Blood flowed from him from the countless strikes,
Yet he still said 'One', he said 'One'.
گر شود در پای خاری ناگهتحب و بغض کس نماند در رهت
If a thorn should suddenly pierce your foot,
No love or hatred for anyone remains in your path.
آنک او در دست خاری مبتلاستزو تصرف در چنان قومی خطاست
He who is afflicted by a thorn in his hand,
Taking action among such a people is a mistake for him.
چون چنان بودند ایشان تو چنینچند خواهی بود حیران تو چنین
Since they were like that and you are like this,
How long will you remain bewildered like this?
از زفافت بت پرستان رسته اندوز زبان تو صحابه خسته اند
From your weddings, idolaters have escaped,
And from your tongue, the Companions are weary.
در فضولی می کنی دیوان سیاهگوی بردی گر زفان داری نگاه
In meddling, you make the registers black;
You would win the prize if you guarded your tongue.
