### [147.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama.147.1)

چون این حرکات نامضبوط ، واین هذیانات نامربوط ، ازوی ظاهر گشت ، گمان مردم کی جنون بر دل وی مستولی شذه است ، وسودا بر مزاج او غالب گشته؛ چی هیچ صاحبمروت وفتوت از خرذ وحریت برین اقوال وافعال ذمیمه از عقل وفضل احازت ببینذ ، ودر شریعت کرم وانسانیت حایز نشمرذ ، وقدم جفا بر جمال چهرهآ دیانت ووفا ننهذ ، ودر حریم حرم پاذشاه این فاحشه روا ندارذ ، واز بهر استیلای شهوت ، واستعلای مهمت ، چنین تهمت 9 بر ذیل نام خوذ بندذ ، وسورت ببدیل دولت ، وآیت تحویل مملکت ، وزوال سلطنت، وهلا ک پاذشاهی کی ظل رحمت الهی است ، وپیرایهآ اقبال ، وسرمایةآ جلال ، ومواد تخفیف طوایف عالم ، وأصل عمارت ربع مسکون گیتی ، فضل 2 کامل ، وعدل شامل او از مصحف وهم وخیال برنخوانذ ، وبر صحیفهآ دل ننگارذ ؛ یس زلیخاوار گفت : ماحزاه من اراد بأهلک سوءا الا ان یسحن أو عذاب ألیم (12/25)

> When these unrestrained actions and these disjointed ravings appeared from him,  
> I supposed that madness had taken possession of his heart and that melancholy had overcome his temperament;  
> for no possessor of manliness and chivalry, endowed with intellect and nobility, would see license for these reprehensible words and deeds  
> from wisdom and virtue, nor deem it permissible in the law of generosity and humanity,  
> nor set the foot of cruelty upon the fair visage of piety and fidelity, nor tolerate this obscenity in the royal harem,  
> nor, for the sake of the dominance of lust and the gratification of ambition, attach such an accusation to the hem of his own name,  
> nor read from the scripture of delusion and fancy the chapter of the overthrow of fortune, the verse of the transfer of dominion, the decline  
> of sovereignty, and the destruction of a king who is the shadow of divine mercy, the adornment of prosperity, the capital  
> of grandeur, the substance of relief for the classes of the world, and the foundation for the cultivation of the inhabited quarter of the earth, whose perfect grace  
> and all-embracing justice \[sustain all\], nor delineate it upon the page of the heart.'  
> Then, like Zulaykhā, she said: 'What is the recompense of him who intended evil to your wife, except that he be imprisoned  
> or suffer a painful punishment?' (12:25)
