چون بگفت آن خسته را خاتون چنین ** می‌نگنجید از تبختر بر زمین
When the mistress had spoken in this strain to the invalid, on account of his swagger there was no room for him on the earth.
زفت گشت و فربه و سرخ و شکفت ** چون گل سرخ هزاران شکر گفت
He grew stout and fat and red(-cheeked), and bloomed like a red rose and gave a thousand thanks.
که گهی می‌گفت ای خاتون من ** که مبادا باشد این دستان و فن
Now and again he would say, “O my mistress, (I am afraid) lest this may be a deception and trick.”
خواجه جمعیت بکرد و دعوتی ** که همی‌سازم فرج را وصلتی
The Khwája gave a party and a feast, saying (to his guests), “I am making a match for Faraj,”
تا جماعت عشوه می‌دادند و گان ** که ای فرج بادت مبارک اتصال 300
So that the company chaffed and quizzed (him) and said, “May your marriage be blessed, O Faraj!”
تا یقین‌تر شد فرج را آن سخن ** علت از وی رفت کل از بیخ و بن
With the result that the promise seemed to Faraj more sure, and his illness vanished entirely and radically.
بعد از آن اندر شب گردک به فن ** امردی را بست حنی هم‌چو زن
Afterwards, on the wedding-night, he (the Khwája) artfully dyed (the hands and feet of) a youth with henna, like (those of) a woman.
پر نگارش کرد ساعد چون عروس ** پس نمودش ماکیان دادش خروس
He decorated his fore-arms like (those of) a bride: then he displayed to him (Faraj) a hen, but (actually) he gave him a cock;
مقنعه و حله‌ی عروسان نکو ** کنگ امرد را بپوشانید او
(For) he dressed the sturdy youth in the veil and robes of beautiful brides.
شمع را هنگام خلوت زود کشت ** ماند هندو با چنان کنگ درشت 305
Quo tempore mos est sponsam cum conjuge in thalamo relinquere, (paterfamilias) candelam statim exstinxit: manebat Indus coram tali adulescente robusto et aspero. [He (the Khwája) immediately extinguished the candle (at) the time of (conjugal) privacy: the Hindu was left (alone) with such a rough and strong-bodied (young) man.]
