Section 21 - Story: Someone was struck by the polo stick of the Damghan moon

بخش ۲۱ - حکایت: یکی را به چوگان مه دامغان

One was struck by the polo stick of the moon of Damghan

He struck until his cry rose like a drum

یکی را به چوگان مه دامغان

بزد تا چو طبلش بر آمد فغان

At night, he could not sleep from restlessness

A pious man passed by him and said

شب از بی قراری نیارست خفت

بر او پارسایی گذر کرد و گفت

If at night you took your burning to the sheriff

You would not have carried the sin of his honor by day

به شب گر ببردی بر شحنه، سوز

گناه آبرویش نبردی به روز

No one will be ashamed on the Day of Judgment

Who at night brings the burning of the heart to the court

کسی روز محشر نگردد خجل

که شبها به درگه برد سوز دل

If you still have the head of peace, what fear?

The Generous One does not close the door to those who seek forgiveness

هنوز ار سر صلح داری چه بیم؟

در عذرخواهان نبندد کریم

Ask from the Just Creator, the Judge

The night of repentance for the fault of the day of sin

ز یزدان دادار داور بخواه

شب توبه تقصیر روز گناه

The Generous One who brought you from nothingness to existence

It is no wonder if He takes your hand when you fall

کریمی که آوردت از نیست هست

عجب گر بیفتی نگیردت دست

If you are a servant, raise your hand in need

And if you are ashamed, shed tears of regret

اگر بنده‌ای دست حاجت بر آر

و گر شرمسار آب حسرت ببار

No one has come to this door seeking forgiveness

Whose sin was not washed away by the flood of remorse

نیامد بر این در کسی عذر خواه

که سیل ندامت نشستش گناه

God does not destroy the honor of anyone

Who sheds many tears of sin

نریزد خدای آبروی کسی

که ریزد گناه آب چشمش بسی
