لعل و یاقوتست بهر وام او ** در خنوری و نبشته نام او 3540
Rubies and corundums for (the payment of) his debt are (stored) in a certain vessel on which his name is written.
در فلان طاقیش مدفون کرده‌ام ** من غم آن یار پیشین خورده‌ام
I have buried it in a certain vault: I have shown solicitude for my ancient friend.
قیمت آن را نداند جز ملوک ** فاجتهد بالبیع ان لا یخدعوک
None but kings can know the value of that (treasure): take care, then, that they (the purchasers) do not cheat you in the sale.
در بیوع آن کن تو از خوف غرار ** که رسول آموخت سه روز اختیار
In sales (commercial transactions), for fear of being swindled, behave in the same manner as the Prophet, who taught (his followers to demand) three days' option.
از کساد آن مترس و در میفت ** که رواج آن نخواهد هیچ خفت
Do not be afraid of it (the treasure) depreciating and do not fall (into anxiety), since the demand for it will never decline.
وارثانم را سلام من بگو ** وین وصیت را بگو هم مو به مو 3545
Give my heirs a greeting from me and rehearse to them this injunction, point by point,
تا ز بسیاری آن زر نشکهند ** بی‌گرانی پیش آن مهمان نهند
In order that they may not be deterred by the largeness of the (sum of) gold, but may deliver it to that guest (of mine) without reluctance.
ور بگوید او نخواهم این فره ** گو بگیر و هر که را خواهی بده
And if he say that he does not want so much, bid him take it and bestow it on whom he will.
زانچ دادم باز نستانم نقیر ** سوی پستان باز ناید هیچ شیر
I will not take back a jot of what I have given: the milk never comes back to the teat.
گشته باشد هم‌چو سگ قی را اکول ** مسترد نحله بر قول رسول
According to the Prophet's saying, he who reclaims a gift will have become like a dog devouring his vomit.
