  • چون بدیدش یاد آورد آن خویش ** بی‏طمع شد ز اشتر آن یار و خویش‏ 2995
  • As soon as he saw it, he remembered his own, and ceased to covet the camel of that friend and kinsman.

  • آن مقلد شد محقق چون بدید ** اشتر خود را که آن جا می‏چرید
  • That imitator became a true searcher when he saw his camel browsing there.

  • او طلب کار شتر آن لحظه گشت ** می‏نجستش تا ندید او را به دشت‏
  • (Only) at that moment did he become a seeker of the camel: he was never (truly) seeking it till he saw it in the desert.

  • بعد از آن تنها روی آغاز کرد ** چشم سوی ناقه‏ی خود باز کرد
  • After that, he began to go alone: he opened his eyes (and went) towards his own camel.

  • گفت آن صادق مرا بگذاشتی ** تا به اکنون پاس من می‏داشتی‏

  • گفت تا اکنون فسوسی بوده‏ام ** وز طمع در چاپلوسی بوده‏ام‏ 3000
  • He replied, “Hitherto I have been an idle scoffer and, from cupidity, have been (engaged) in flattering (thee);

  • این زمان هم درد تو گشتم که من ** در طلب از تو جدا گشتم به تن‏
  • (But) now, when corporeally I have become parted from thee in the search, I have become sympathetic with thee (in spirit).

  • از تو می‏دزدیدمی وصف شتر ** جان من دید آن خود شد چشم پر
  • I was stealing the camel's description from thee; (but when) my spirit saw its own camel, it had its eye filled (with seeing).

  • تا نیابیدم نبودم طالبش ** مس کنون مغلوب شد زر غالبش‏
  • Till I found it, I was not seeking it; now the copper is overcome, the gold overpowers it.

  • سیئاتم شد همه طاعات شکر ** هزل شد فانی و جد اثبات شکر
  • My evil deeds have become pious acts entirely—thanks (to God)! Jest is vanished and earnest is realised—thanks (to God)!
