Bustan Saadi بوستان سعدی
| From the world an idolater shut off his face, And to worship his idol was always in place. Fate, after some years, to that reprobate wretch A difficult matter did suddenly fetch. | مغی در به روی از جهان بسته بود بتی را به خدمت میان بسته بود پس از چند سال آن نکوهیده کیش قضا حالتی صعبش آورد پیش |
| At the idol’s feet, hoping that good might be gained, On the dust of the temple he, helpless, complained: “Oh, idol! I’m helpless; assistance I claim! I am greatly exhausted, oh, pity my frame! “ | به پای بت اندر به امید خیر بغلطید بیچاره بر خاک دیر که درماندهام دست گیر ای صنم به جان آمدم رحم کن بر تنم |
| He many a time in its presence bewailed, But in getting his matter adjusted, he failed Say, when will an idol one’s business effect, That to drive off a fly from itself can’t elect? | بزارید در خدمتش بارها که هیچش به سامان نشد کارها بتی چون برآرد مهمات کس که نتواند از خود براندن مگس؟ |
| ”Oh thou, on whose foot error’s fetter appears, In folly, I’ve worshipped for several years! The business that presses before me, complete! If you don’t, the All-cherishing God, I’ll entreat! “ | برآشفت کای پای بند ضلال به باطل پرستیدمت چند سال مهمی که در پیش دارم برآر وگرنه بخواهم ز پروردگار |
| He was still with the idol, his face smeared with dust, When his wish was fulfilled by the God we all trust A knower of truths at this work showed surprise; The time of his clearness seemed dark in his eyes. | هنوز از بت آلوده رویش به خاک که کامش برآورد یزدان پاک حقایق شناسی در این خیره شد سر وقت صافی بر او تیره شد |
| For a mean and bewildered one worshipping God, Still drunk with the wine of the idol-abode — Heart and head still with error and perfidy fraught, Through God, had accomplished the object he sought! | که سرگشتهای دون یزدان پرست هنوزش سر از خمر بتخانه مست دل از کفر و دست از خیانت نشست خدایش برآورد کامی که جست |
| To this difficult matter his heart he resigned, When a message arrived at the ear of his mind: “In front of this idol, this foolish ‘one grieved, And said rtiany words that had not been received; | فرو رفته خاطر در این مشکلش که پیغامی آمد به گوش دلش که پیش صنم پیر ناقص عقول بسی گفت و قولش نیامد قبول |
| Were he forced from my shrine, also, hopeless to plod, How far would it be from an idol to God? “ Your heart on the Lord, then, oh friend, you must bind All others, more feeble than idols, you’ll find- | گر از درگه ما شود نیز رد پس آنگه چه فرق از صنم تا صمد؟ دل اندر صمد باید ای دوست بست که عاجزترند از صنم هر که هست |
| Place your head at this portal, and happen it can’t, That your hand should return to you empty, from want Oh God I we have come, of our failures to tell; We have come to Thee sinners, and hopeful, as well | محال است اگر سر بر این در نهی که باز آیدت دست حاجت تهی خدایا مقصر به کار آمدیم تهیدست و امیدوار آمدیم |
