در بن چاهی همی‌بودم زبون ** در همه عالم نمی‌گنجم کنون
(Formerly) I was lying in misery at the bottom of a well: now I am not contained in the whole world.

رو کسی دیگر بجو اشتاب و تفت ** که مرا والله دست از کار رفت
Go, look for some one else hastily and speedily, for by God my hand has gone out of business.”
با دل خود گفت کز حد رفت جرم ** از دل من کی رود آن ترس و گرم
