  • Whoever drank that milk on the Day of Alast distinguishes the milk (in this world), even as Moses (distinguished and knew his mother's milk). 2970
  • هر که در روز أ لست آن شیر خورد ** همچو موسی شیر را تمییز کرد
  • If thou wishest fondly for thy child's discrimination (and recognition), suckle (him) now, O mother of Moses,
  • گر تو بر تمییز طفلت مولعی ** این زمان یا ام موسی ارضعی‏
  • That he may know the taste of his mother's milk, and that his head may not sink to (desire and accept the milk of) a bad nurse.
  • تا ببیند طعم شیر مادرش ** تا فرو ناید بدایه‏ی بد سرش‏
  • Explaining the moral of the story of the person seeking (the lost) camel.
  • شرح فایده‏ی حکایت آن شخص شتر جوینده‏
  • You have lost a camel, O trusty (friend), and every one is giving you a clue to the camel.
  • اشتری گم کرده‏ای ای معتمد ** هر کسی ز اشتر نشانت می‏دهد
  • You know not where the camel is, but you know that these clues are wrong.
  • تو نمی‏دانی که آن اشتر کجاست ** لیک دانی کاین نشانیها خطاست‏
  • And he that has not lost a camel—he (too) in contention seeks a camel, just like him who has (really) lost it, 2975
  • و انکه اشتر گم نکرد او از مری ** همچو آن گم کرده جوید اشتری‏
  • Saying, “Yes; I too have lost a camel: I have brought a reward for any one who may find it.”
  • که بلی من هم شتر گم کرده‏ام ** هر که یابد اجرتش آورده‏ام‏
  • (He says this) that he may take a partner's share with you in the camel: he plays this trick because of coveting the camel.
  • تا در اشتر با تو انبازی کند ** بهر طمع اشتر این بازی کند
  • If you say to any one, “That clue was false,” he (the pretender), in imitation of you, says the same.
  • هر چه را گویی خطا بود آن نشان ** او به تقلید تو می‏گوید همان‏
  • He does not know wrong clues from right, but your words are a cue to that imitator.
  • او نشان کژ بنشناسد ز راست ** لیک گفتت آن مقلد را عصاست‏
