  • تا رسید آن شب که مولد بود آن ** رای این دیدند آن فرعونیان 845
  • (They waited) till the night arrived on which the begetting (of Moses) took place; those Pharaoh's men deemed it advisable,
  • که برون آرند آن روز از پگاه ** سوی میدان بزم و تخت پادشاه
  • Early on that day, to bring forth the King's banquet and throne towards the maydán (public arena outside of the city),
  • الصلا ای جمله اسرائیلیان ** شاه می‌خواند شما را زان مکان
  • (Proclaiming), “Welcome, O all ye Israelites! The King calls you from that place (where ye are),
  • تا شما را رو نماید بی نقاب ** بر شما احسان کند بهر ثواب
  • That he may show unto you his face unveiled, and do kindness unto you for the sake of the (Divine) recompense”;
  • کان اسیران را بجز دوری نبود ** دیدن فرعون دستوری نبود
  • For to those captives there was naught but farness (from Pharaoh's presence): the sight of Pharaoh was not permitted (to them).
  • گر فتادندی به ره در پیش او ** بهر آن یاسه بخفتندی برو 850

  • یاسه این بد که نبیند هیچ اسیر ** در گه و بیگه لقای آن امیر
  • The law was this: no captive in or out of season shall behold the countenance of that Prince,
  • بانگ چاووشان چو در ره بشنود ** تا ببیند رو به دیواری کند
  • And whenever on the road he hears the shout of the (royal) beadles, he shall turn his face towards a wall, that he may not see;
  • ور ببیند روی او مجرم بود ** آنچ بتر بر سر او آن رود
  • And if he see his face, he shall be guilty of a crime, and the worst punishment shall befall him.
  • بودشان حرص لقای ممتنع ** چون حریصست آدمی فیما منع
  • They (the Israelites) had a greed for the inaccessible countenance, since Man is greedy for that which has been forbidden.
