حکایت بوعبیدو جابان در معنی اخوت اسلامیہ

شد اسیر مسلمی اندر نبردقائدی از قائدان یزد جرد

A certain general of kind Yazdajerd Became a Muslim’s captive in the wars;

گبر باران دیدہ و عیار بودحیلہ جو و پرفن و مکار بود

A Guebre he was, inured to every trick of fortune, crafty, cunning, full of guile.

از مقام خود خبردارش نکردہم ز نام خود خبردارش نکرد

He kept his captor ignorant of his rank nor told him who he was, or what his name;

گفت می خواہم کہ جان بخشی مراچون مسلمانان امان بخشی مرا

But said, ‘I beg that you will spare my life
and grant to me the quarter Muslims gain.’

کرد مسلم تیغ را اندر نیامگفت خونت ریختن بر من حرام

The Muslim sheathed his sword. ‘To shed thy blood,’ He cried, ‘were impious and forbidden sin.’

چون درفش کاویانی چاک شدآتش اولاد ساسان خاک شد

When Kaveh’s banner had rent to shreds, the fire of Sasan’s sons turned all to dust;

آشکارا شد کہ جابان است اومیر سربازان ایران است او

It was disclosed the captive Jaban was, supreme commander of the Persian host.

قتل او از میر عسکر خواستنداز فریب او سخن آراستند

Then was his fraud reported, and his blood petitioned of the Arab general;

بوعبید آن سید فوج حجازدر وغا عزمش ز لشکر بے نیاز

But Abu Ubaid, the renowned leader of the ranks from the distant Hijaz, who required no armies to support his steadfast courage in the heat of battle,

گفت اے یاران مسلمانیم ماتار چنگیم و یک آہنگیم ما

Thus they responded to their request: ‘Friend, we are Muslims, strings on a single lute, in perfect harmony.’

نعرہ ی حیدر نوای بوذر استگرچہ از حلق بلال و قنبر است

Ali’s voice attunes with Abu Dharr’s, although the throat be that of Qanbar or Bilal.
ہ

ہر یکے از ما امین ملت استصلح وکینش، صلح وکین ملت است

Each one of us is trustee to the whole community and one with it, in malice or in truce.

ملت ار گردد اساس جان فردعہد ملت می شود پیمان فرد

As the community is the sure base on which the individual rests secure, so is its covenant his sacred bond.

گرچہ جابان دشمن ما بودہ استمسلمی او را امان بخشودہ است

Though Jaban was a foeman to Islam, a Muslim granted him immunity;

خون او اے معشر خیرالانامبر دم تیغ مسلمانان حرام

His blood, O followers of the best of men, may not be spilled by any Muslim sword.’
