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
