من از آن روزن بدیدم حال تو ** حال تو دیدم ننوشم قال تو

Through that window I have seen your (real) state: I see your state and will not heed your words.”

گر نبودی جان عیسی چاره‌‌ام ** او جهودانه بکردی پاره‌‌ام‌‌

Had not the spirit of Jesus been my aid, he would in Jewish fashion have torn me to pieces.

بهر عیسی جان سپارم سر دهم ** صد هزاران منتش بر خود نهم‌‌ 355

For Jesus' sake I would yield my life and give my head and lay on myself (confess) myriads of obligations to him.

I do not grudge Jesus my life, but full well am I versed in the knowledge of his religion.

حیف می‌‌آمد مرا کان دین پاک ** در میان جاهلان گردد هلاک‌‌

Grief was coming over me (it seemed to me a pity) that that holy religion should perish amongst those who are ignorant (of it).

شکر ایزد را و عیسی را که ما ** گشته‌‌ایم آن کیش حق را رهنما

Thanks be to God and to Jesus that I have become a guide to the true faith.

از جهود و از جهودی رسته‌‌ام ** تا به زناری میان را بسته‌‌ام‌‌

I have escaped from Jews and Judaism so (entirely) that I have bound my waist with a (Christian) girdle.

کرد با وی شاه آن کاری که گفت ** خلق حیران مانده ز ان مکر نهفت‌‌

The king did to him that deed (mutilation) which he had proposed: the people remained in amazement at that hidden (mysterious) plot.

راند او را جانب نصرانیان ** کرد در دعوت شروع او بعد از آن‌‌

He (the king) drove him away to the Christians. After that, he (the vizier) began to proselytise.

قبول کردن نصارا مکر وزیر را

How the Christians let themselves be duped by the vizier.
