  • The little fox brought the ass into the presence of the lion: the courageous lion tore him to pieces. 2870
  • برد خر را روبهک تا پیش شیر  ** پاره‌پاره کردش آن شیر دلیر 
  • The King of the Beasts was made thirsty by his exertions and went to the spring to drink some water.
  • تشنه شد از کوشش آن سلطان دد  ** رفت سوی چشمه تا آبی خورد 
  • Meanwhile the little fox, having got an opportunity, ate his (the ass's) liver, lungs, and heart.
  • روبهک خورد آن جگربند و دلش  ** آن زمان چون فرصتی شد حاصلش 
  • When the lion returned from the spring to eat (his prey), he looked in the ass to find the heart, (but) there was neither heart nor liver.
  • شیر چون وا گشت از چشمه به خور  ** جست در خر دل نه دل بد نه جگر 
  • He said to the fox, “Where is the liver? What has become of the heart?—for no animal can do without these two (organs).”
  • گفت روبه را جگر کو دل چه شد  ** که نباشد جانور را زین دو بد 
  • He (the fox) replied, “If he had possessed a heart or liver, how should he have come here a second time? 2875
  • گفت گر بودی ورا دل یا جگر  ** کی بدینجا آمدی بار دگر 
  • He had experienced that tremendous agony and turmoil, the scramble down the mountain, the terror, and the flight;
  • آن قیامت دیده بود و رستخیز  ** وآن ز کوه افتادن و هول و گریز 
  • If he had had a liver or heart, how could he have come a second time into thy presence?”
  • گر جگر بودی ورا یا دل بدی  ** بار دیگر کی بر تو آمدی 
  • When there is no light in the heart, ’tis no heart; when there is no spirit (in the body), ’tis naught but earth.
  • چون نباشد نور دل دل نیست آن  ** چون نباشد روح جز گل نیست آن 
  • The (heart resembling) glass that hath no spiritual light is (like) urine and the urine-phial: do not call it a lamp.
  • آن زجاجی کو ندارد نور جان  ** بول و قاروره‌ست قندیلش مخوان
