  • مدح این آدم که نامش می‌‌برم ** قاصرم گر تا قیامت بشمرم‌‌
  • If until the Resurrection I reckon up the praise of this Adam whose name I am celebrating, I fall short (of what is due).
  • این همه دانست و چون آمد قضا ** دانش یک نهی شد بر وی خطا
  • All this he knew; (yet) when the Divine destiny came, he was at fault in the knowledge of a single prohibition,
  • کای عجب نهی از پی تحریم بود ** یا به تاویلی بد و توهیم بود 1250
  • Wondering whether the prohibition was for the purpose of making unlawful (the thing prohibited), or whether it admitted of an interpretation and was a cause of perplexity.
  • در دلش تاویل چون ترجیح یافت ** طبع در حیرت سوی گندم شتافت‌‌
  • When (the view that it admitted of) interpretation prevailed in his mind, his nature hastened in bewilderment towards the wheat.
  • باغبان را خار چون در پای رفت ** دزد فرصت یافت، کالا برد تفت‌‌
  • When the thorn went into the foot of the gardener (Adam), the thief (Satan) found an opportunity and quickly carried off the goods.
  • چون ز حیرت رست باز آمد به راه ** دید برده دزد رخت از کارگاه‌‌
  • As soon as he escaped from bewilderment, he returned into the (right) road; (then) he saw that the thief had carried off the wares from the shop.
  • ربنا إنا ظلمنا گفت و آه ** یعنی آمد ظلمت و گم گشت راه‌‌
  • He cried, ‘O Lord, we have done wrong,’ and ‘Alas,’ that is to say, ‘darkness came and the way was lost.’
  • پس قضا ابری بود خورشید پوش ** شیر و اژدرها شود زو همچو موش‌‌ 1255
  • Divine destiny, then, is a cloud that covers the sun: thereby lions and dragons become as mice.
  • من اگر دامی نبینم گاه حکم ** من نه تنها جاهلم در راه حکم‌‌
  • If I (the hoopoe) do not see a snare in the hour of Divine ordainment, ’tis not I alone who am ignorant in the course of Divine ordainment.”
  • ای خنک آن کاو نکو کاری گرفت ** زور را بگذاشت او زاری گرفت‌‌
  • Oh, happy he that clave to righteousness, he (that) let (his own) strength go and took to supplication!
