  • And this other is our prince and sovereign: he is a Sayyid, he is of the House of Mustafá (Mohammed).
  • وین دگر شه زاده و سلطان ماست ** سید است از خاندان مصطفاست‏
  • Who is this gluttonous vile Súfí, that he should associate with kings like you?
  • کیست آن صوفی شکم خوار خسیس ** تا بود با چون شما شاهان جلیس‏
  • When he comes (back), drive him away and take possession of my orchard and field for a week.
  • چون بیاید مر و را پنبه کنید ** هفته‏ای بر باغ و راغ من زنید
  • What is (it to offer you) my orchard? My life is yours, O ye who have (always) been (as dear to me) as my right eye.”
  • باغ چه بود جان من آن شماست ** ای شما بوده مرا چون چشم راست‏
  • He made evil suggestions and beguiled them. Ah, one must not patiently suffer the loss of friends. 2180

  • When they had turned the Súfí away and he was gone, the enemy went after him with a stout cudgel.

  • “O dog,” he cried, “is it Súfism that of a sudden you come into my orchard in spite (of me)?
  • گفت ای سگ صوفیی باشد که تیز ** اندر آیی باغ ما تو از ستیز
  • Did Junayd or Báyazíd direct you to behave in this way? From what Shaykh and Pír did this (instruction) reach you?”

  • Said the Súfí, “Mine is over, but O comrades, take good care of yourselves! 2185
  • گفت صوفی آن من بگذشت لیک ** ای رفیقان پاس خود دارید نیک‏
  • Ye regarded me as an alien. Look out! I am not more alien than this scoundrel.
  • مر مرا اغیار دانستید هان ** نیستم اغیارتر زین قلتبان‏
  • That (cup) which I have drunk must be drunk by you, and such a draught as this is the due of every cad.”
  • این چه من خوردم شما را خوردنی است ** وین چنین شربت جزای هر دنی است‏
  • This world is (like) the mountain, and (all) thy words come back to thee from the echo.
  • این جهان کوه است و گفت‏وگوی تو ** از صدا هم باز آید سوی تو
  • After the gardener had finished with the Súfí, he invented a pretext of the same kind as the former,
  • چون ز صوفی گشت فارغ باغبان ** یک بهانه کرد ز آن پس جنس آن‏
  • Saying, “O my Sharíf, go to the house, for I have baked (some) thin cakes of bread for breakfast. 2190
  • کای شریف من برو سوی وثاق ** که ز بهر چاشت پختم من رقاق‏

  • چون به ره کردش بگفت ای تیز بین ** تو فقیهی ظاهر است این و یقین‏
  • (But) he (thy friend) a Sharíf! ’Tis an absurd claim he is making. Who knows who committed adultery with his mother?
  • او شریفی می‏کند دعوی سرد ** مادر او را که داند تا که کرد
  • Will ye set your hearts (rely) on woman and the deeds of woman? (Will ye acknowledge her to be of) weak mind, and then (put) trust (in her)?
  • بر زن و بر فعل زن دل می‏نهید ** عقل ناقص و آن گهانی اعتماد

  • Any one whose head is made giddy by (his own) gyrations sees the house turning round like himself.
  • هر که بر گردد سرش از چرخها ** همچو خود گردنده بیند خانه را
  • What that vain talker, the gardener, said was (indicative of) his (own) condition; (it was) far from (being applicable to) the descendants of the Prophet.
  • آن چه گفت آن باغبان بو الفضول ** حال او بد، دور از اولاد رسول‏
  • If he had not been the issue of apostates, how should he have spoken thus as regards (the Prophet's) House?
  • گر نبودی او نتیجه مرتدان ** کی چنین گفتی برای خاندان‏
  • He used spells (guileful words), and the jurist hearkened to them. (Then) that insolent bully went after him (the Sharíf). 2200
  • خواند افسونها شنید آن را فقیه ** در پیش رفت آن ستمکار سفیه‏
