فريدون مشيرى
گفت دانایى که گرگى خیره سر
هست پنهان در نهاد هر بشر
لاجرم جارى است پیکارى بزرگ
روز و شب مابین این انسان و گرگ
زور بازو چاره این گرگ نیست
صاحب اندیشه داند چاره چیست
اى بسا انسان رنجور و پریش
سخت پیچیده گلوى گرگ خویش
اى بسا زور آفرین مردِ دلیر
مانده در چنگال گرگ خود اسیر
هرکه گرگش را دراندازد به خاک
رفته رفته مىشود انسان پاک
هرکه با گرگش مدارا مىکند
خلق و خوى گرگ پیدا مىکند
هرکه از گرگش خورد دائم شکست
گرچه انسان مىنماید، گرگ هست
در جوانى جان گرگت را بگیر
واى اگر این گرگ گردد با تو پیر
روز پیرى گرکه باشى همچو شیر
ناتوانى در مصاف گرگ پیر
اینکه مردم یکدگر را مىدرند
گرگهاشان رهنما و رهبرند
اینکه انسان هست این سان دردمند
گرگها فرمان روایى مىکنند
این ستمکاران که با هم همرهند
گرگهاشان آشنایان همند
گرگها همراه و انسانها غریب
با که باید گفت این حال عجیب

A tenacious wolf, said a wise man once,
Is hidden deep within each of us.
Hence, an immense daily struggle is ongoing,
Between the wolf and the human being.
Might alone will not this wolf subdue,
One with intellect would know what to do.
Many a man, weak and grieved,
Have their wolves by the throat seized.
And, many a man, courageous and strong,
Have been trapped in their wolves’ claws for long.
Whoever defeats his wolf, gradually,
Becomes a wholesome man, eventually.
And, one who’s always defeated by his wolf,
May appear to be a human, but he’s a wolf!
And, one with whose wolf he will conspire,
Wolf-like nature he will acquire.
When you’re young, your wolf’s life you must take,
To let him grow old with you is a grave mistake.
Even a lion of a man when he’s old,
Is no match for a wolf who’s grown old.
Whenever people tear each other apart,
The wolves are their guide and steward.
Why humans are in so much pain?
Because it’s their wolves who have the reign.
And, tyrants who keep one another in confidence,
Their wolves are each other’s acquaintance.
Alliance of the wolves, estrangement of the men,
Of this strange state, to whom may one complain?
