  • گفت رو هین خیر بادت جان عم  ** من تماشای لب جو می‌روم 
  • He (the sick man) said, “(Now) go; look you, my dear nephew, I am going for a walk on the bank of the river.”

  • بر مراد دل همی‌گشت او بر آب  ** تا که صحت را بیابد فتح باب 
  • He was strolling beside the water, as his heart desired, in order that he might find the door to health opened to him.

  • بر لب جو صوفیی بنشسته بود  ** دست و رو می‌شست و پاکی می‌فزود 
  • On the river-bank a Súfí was seated, washing his hands and face and cleansing himself more and more.

  • او قفااش دید چون تخییلیی  ** کرد او را آرزوی سیلیی  1330
  • He saw the nape of his (the Súfí's) neck and, like a crazy man, felt a longing to give it a slap;

  • بر قفای صوفی حمزه‌پرست  ** راست می‌کرد از برای صفع دست 
  • (So) he raised his hand to inflict a blow on the nape of the pottage-worshipping Súfí,

  • کارزو را گر نرانم تا رود  ** آن طبیبم گفت کان علت شود 
  • Saying (to himself), “The physician told me it would make me ill if I would not let my desire have its way.

  • سیلیش اندر برم در معرکه  ** زانک لا تلقوا بایدی تهلکه 
  • I will give him a slap in quarrel, for (God hath said), ‘Do not cast yourselves with your own hands into destruction.’

  • تهلکه‌ست این صبر و پرهیز ای فلان  ** خوش بکوبش تن مزن چون دیگران 
  • O such-and-such, this self-restraint and abstinence is (thy) destruction: give him a good blow, do not keep quiet like the others.”

  • چون زدش سیلی برآمد یک طراق  ** گفت صوفی هی هی ای قواد عاق  1335
  • When he slapped him, there was the sound of a crack: the Súfí cried, “Hey, hey, O rascally pimp!”

  • خواست صوفی تا دو سه مشتش زند  ** سبلت و ریشش یکایک بر کند 
  • The Súfí was about to give him two or three blows with his fist and tear out his moustache and beard piecemeal (but refrained from doing so).
