  • این نه وقت گریه و فریاد تست ** وقت شادی و مبارک باد تست‏
  • ‘Ah,’ said he, ‘how shall a man without insight pronounce judgement—an ignorant man (decide) between two who know?
  • گفت اه چون حکم راند بی‏دلی ** در میان آن دو عالم جاهلی‏
  • Those two adversaries are acquainted with their own case: what should the poor cadi know of those two tangles?

  • He is ignorant and unaware of their (real) state: how should he proceed (to give judgment) concerning their lives and property?’

  • He (the deputy) said, ‘The litigants know (the truth of their case) and (nevertheless) are unsound (prejudiced); you are ignorant (of the facts), but you are the luminary of the whole body (of Moslems),
  • گفت خصمان عالمند و علتی ** جاهلی تو لیک شمع ملتی‏
  • Because you have no prejudice to interfere (with your discernment), and that freedom (from prejudice) is light to the eyes; 2750
  • ز انکه تو علت نداری در میان ** آن فراغت هست نور دیده‏گان‏
  • While those two who know are blinded by their self-interest: prejudice has put their knowledge into the grave.
  • و آن دو عالم را غرضشان کور کرد ** علمشان را علت اندر گور کرد
  • Unprejudicedness makes ignorance wise; prejudice makes knowledge perverse and iniquitous.
  • جهل را بی‏علتی عالم کند ** علم را علت کژ و ظالم کند
  • So long as you accept no bribe, you are seeing; when you act covetously, you are blind and enslaved.’
  • تا تو رشوت نستدی بیننده‏ای ** چون طمع کردی ضریر و بنده‏ای‏
