  • تو به تاویلات می‌گشتی از آن ** کور و گر کین هست از خواب گران 2430
  • Through false interpretations thou wert made blind and deaf to those (visions), saying, ‘This is caused by heavy slumber’;
  • وآن طبیب و آن منجم در لمع ** دید تعبیرش بپوشید از طمع
  • And the physician and the astrologer in flashes (of intelligence) saw the (true) explanation thereof, but concealed it from (motives) of cupidity.
  • گفت دور از دولت و از شاهیت ** که درآید غصه در آگاهیت
  • He (the physician) said, ‘Far be it from thy empire and kingship that anxiety should enter into thy consciousness.
  • از غذای مختلف یا از طعام ** طبع شوریده همی‌بیند منام
  • When the (human) constitution is indisposed by food that disagrees with it or by (rich) viands, it sees visions in sleep.’
  • زانک دید او که نصیحت‌جو نه‌ای ** تند و خون‌خواری و مسکین‌خو نه‌ای
  • (He said this) because he perceived that thou art not one that desires good counsel, and that thou art violent and blood-drinking and not of lowly nature.
  • پادشاهان خون کنند از مصلحت ** لیک رحمتشان فزونست از عنت 2435
  • Kings shed blood for righteousness' sake, but their mercy is greater than their severity.
  • شاه را باید که باشد خوی رب ** رحمت او سبق دارد بر غضب
  • The king must have the nature of the Lord: His mercy hath precedence over His wrath.
  • نه غضب غالب بود مانند دیو ** بی‌ضرورت خون کند از بهر ریو
  • Wrath must not prevail (in the king), like (as it does in) the Devil, (so that) he sheds blood unnecessarily for the purpose of guile;
  • نه حلیمی مخنث‌وار نیز ** که شود زن روسپی زان و کنیز
  • Nor, again, (should) an effeminate mildness (prevail in him), for in consequence of that his wife and handmaids will become harlots.
  • دیوخانه کرده بودی سینه را ** قبله‌ای سازیده بودی کینه را
  • Thou hadst made thy breast a house for the Devil, thou hadst made hatred a qibla (object on which thy mind was bent).
