  • هم‌چو ترسا که شمارد با کشش  ** جرم یکساله زنا و غل و غش

  • نه بدانجا صورتی نه هیکلی  ** زاده از وی صد الست و صد بلی

  • آن چنان که مادری دل‌برده‌ای  ** پیش گور بچه‌ی نومرده‌ای 
  • (‘Tis) as when a mother, distraught (with grief) beside the grave of a child newly dead,
  • رازها گوید به جد و اجتهاد  ** می‌نماید زنده او را آن جماد  3265
  • Utters heart-felt words earnestly and intensely: the inanimate (corpse) seems to her to be alive.
