  • جمله قران امر و نهیست و وعید  ** امر کردن سنگ مرمر را کی دید

  • هیچ دانا هیچ عاقل این کند  ** با کلوخ و سنگ خشم و کین کند 
  • Does any wise man, does any reasonable man, do this? Does he show anger and enmity to brickbats and stones?—

  • عقل کی حکمی کند بر چوب و سنگ  ** عقل کی چنگی زند بر نقش چنگ

  • تو به عکس آن کنی بر در روی  ** لاجرم از زخم سگ خسته شوی 
  • (But) you do the reverse of that and advance to the door: necessarily you are wounded by the violence of the dog.
  • آن‌چنان رو که غلامان رفته‌اند  ** تا سگش گردد حلیم و مهرمند 
  • (You must) advance in the same manner in which slaves have advanced, so that his dog may become gentle and affectionate.

  • غیر حق را گر نباشد اختیار  ** خشم چون می‌آیدت بر جرم‌دار

  • چون همی‌خایی تو دندان بر عدو  ** چون همی بینی گناه و جرم ازو  3040

  • (And say), ‘Why did it hit me and fracture my hand? It has been my mortal foe and enemy’?
