  • حکایت آن پادشاه‌زاده کی پادشاهی حقیقی بوی روی نمود یوم یفرالمرء من اخیه و امه و ابیه نقد وقت او شد پادشاهی این خاک توده‌ی کودک طبعان کی قلعه گیری نام کنند آن کودک کی چیره آید بر سر خاک توده برآید و لاف زندگی قلعه مراست کودکان دیگر بر وی رشک برند کی التراب ربیع الصبیان آن پادشاه‌زاده چو از قید رنگها برست گفت من این خاکهای رنگین را همان خاک دون می‌گویم زر و اطلس و اکسون نمی‌گویم من ازین اکسون رستم یکسون رفتم و آتیناه الحکم صبیا ارشاد حق را مرور سالها حاجت نیست در قدرت کن فیکون هیچ کس سخن قابلیت نگوید
  • Story of the prince to whom the true kingdom displayed itself, (so that the realities of) "on the Day when a man shall flee from his brother and his mother and his father" became the object of his immediate experience; (and he saw that) the kingdom of this earth-heap of the childish (is like the game) called "castle-taking," (in which) the child that gains the victory mounts upon the earth-heap and says boastfully, "The castle belongs to me," while the other children envy him; for (to play with) earth is the pastime of boys. When the prince was delivered from the bondage of colours, he said, "I say that these coloured pieces of earth (earthly gauds) are just the same vile earth; I do not call them gold and satin and brocade: I have been delivered from this brocade (aksún) and have gone to that which is simple (yaksún)." (God hath said), "And We bestowed wisdom upon him whilst he was yet a boy"; it needeth not the passing of (many) years for (any one to receive) the guidance of God: none speaks of the capacity to receive in (connexion with) the Power of Be, and it is.
  • پادشاهی داشت یک برنا پسر ** باطن و ظاهر مزین از هنر 3085

  • خواست مردن قالبش بی‌کار شد ** عمر مانده بود شه بیدار شد
  • He was about to die, his body became inert; (but) his life had been left (for completion): the king awoke.
  • شادیی آمد ز بیداریش پیش ** که ندیده بود اندر عمر خویش 3090
  • From awaking, there came to him a joy which he had not experienced in (all) his life;
  • که ز شادی خواست هم فانی شدن ** بس مطوق آمد این جان و بدن
  • For (now) from joy likewise he was about to perish: this spirit and body is mightily shackled with the collar (of death).
  • از دم غم می‌بمیرد این چراغ ** وز دم شادی بمیرد اینت لاغ
