3144-3153

  • در چه دنیا فتادند این قرون  ** عکس خود را دید هر یک چه درون 
  • These (worldly) generations fell into the well of the present world: every one saw in the well his own reflexion.

  • از برون دان آنچ در چاهت نمود  ** ورنه آن شیری که در چه شد فرود  3145
  • Know that what appears to you in the well is (really) from outside; else you are (like) the lion that plunged into the well (and was drowned).

  • برد خرگوشیش از ره کای فلان  ** در تگ چاهست آن شیر ژیان 
  • A hare led him astray, saying, “O such-and-such, this furious lion (thy rival) is at the bottom of the well.

  • در رو اندر چاه کین از وی بکش  ** چون ازو غالب‌تری سر بر کنش 
  • Go into the well and wreak vengeance on him: tear off his head, since thou art mightier than he.”

  • آن مقلد سخره‌ی خرگوش شد  ** از خیال خویشتن پر جوش شد 
  • That (blind) follower of authority was subjugated by the hare: he was filled with boiling (fury) by his own fancy.

  • او نگفت این نقش داد آب نیست  ** این به جز تقلیب آن قلاب نیست 
  • He did not say, “This image is not produced by the water: this is not (produced) by anything except the changing activity of the (Divine) Changer.”

  • تو هم از دشمن چو کینی می‌کشی  ** ای زبون شش غلط در هر ششی  3150
  • So when you, O slave to the six (directions), wreak vengeance on your enemy you are in error concerning all the six.

  • آن عداوت اندرو عکس حقست  ** کز صفات قهر آنجا مشتقست 
  • That enmity in him (your enemy) is reflected from God, for it is derived from the (Divine) attributes of Wrath (which are manifested) there;

  • وآن گنه در وی ز جنس جرم تست  ** باید آن خو را ز طبع خویش شست 
  • And that sin in him is homogeneous with your sin: you must wash that (evil) disposition out of your own nature.

  • خلق زشتت اندرو رویت نمود  ** که ترا او صفحه‌ی آیینه بود 
  • Your evil character showed itself to you in him because he was (like) the surface of a mirror to you.
