傅正明魯拜新譯（5）

Whinfield 199

These fools have never burnt the midnight oil

In deep research, nor do they ever toil

To step beyond themselves, but dress them fine,

And plot of credit others to despoil

七絕

不見愚人夜讀燈，

可憐懶漢怕傷神，

脫盲無意但衣錦，

掠奪他人肥自身。

Whinfield 58

Love's devotees, not Muslims here you see,

Not Solomons, but ants of low degree;

Here are but faces wan and tattered rags,

No store of Cairene cloth or silk have we.

憶王孫

此間難覓穆斯林，

不見王公唯蟻民，

黧黑容顏襤褸身，

有錢人，欲買羅衣別處尋。

Nicolas 55

We are the idolaters of love, but the Musulman differs from us;

we are like the pitiful ant, but Salomon is our foe.

Our visages should aye be paled with love, and our apparel in rags,

and yet the mart for silken stuffs is here below.

七律

穆斯林拜主神時，你我只求維納斯。

共住靜修群蟻穴，同仇挑戰帝王旗。

面含悲憫千家痛，身著補丁百衲衣。

集市羅衣綢緞亮，驢頭驢腳裹麟皮。
