  • هم‌چو طفلست او ز پستان شیرگیر  ** او نداند در دو عالم غیر شیر

  • گیج نبود در روش بلک اندرو  ** حاملش دریا بود نه سیل و جو

  • چون بیابد او که یابد گم شود  ** هم‌چو سیلی غرقه‌ی قلزم شود

  • How, after they had stayed in hiding and tarried patiently for a long while in the capital of China, where the Emperor was enthroned, the eldest (brother) lost patience and said, “Farewell! I will go and present myself to the King. Either my feet will bring me to the object of my quest, or I will lose my head there as (I have already lost) my heart”— (The Persian translation of this Arabic verse is): “Either my feet will bring me to the object of my quest and desire, or I will give away my head there as (I have given away) my heart”— and how the good advice of his brothers was of no avail. “O thou that chidest those in love, let them alone! How shouldst thou direct a band which God has led astray?” And so forth.
