  • Like the scorpion, which bites a man's foot though no inconvenience has come to it from him,
  • هم‌چو کزدم کو گزد پای فتی  ** نارسیده از وی او را زحمتی 
  • Or like the Devil who is the enemy of our souls, though no inconvenience or injury has befallen him from us;
  • یا چو دیوی کو عدوی جان ماست  ** نارسیده زحمتش از ما و کاست

  • بلک طبعا خصم جان آدمیست  ** از هلاک آدمی در خرمیست 
  • He never breaks off his pursuit of any human being: how should he abandon his wicked disposition and nature?

  • زانک خبث ذات او بی‌موجبی  ** هست سوی ظلم و عدوان جاذبی

  • هر زمان خواند ترا تا خرگهی  ** که در اندازد ترا اندر چهی 
  • Saying, “In such and such a place there is a tank of water and (many) fountains,” that he may cast thee headlong into the tank.
  • که فلان جا حوض آبست و عیون  ** تا در اندازد به حوضت سرنگون 
  • That accursed one caused an Adam, notwithstanding all his inspiration and insight, to fall into woe and bane, 2610
  • آدمی را با همه وحی و نظر  ** اندر افکند آن لعین در شور و شر 
  • Without any sin (having been committed against him) and without any previous harm having been wrongfully done to him by Adam.
  • بی‌گناهی بی‌گزند سابقی  ** که رسد او را ز آدم ناحقی
