امتحان کن جمله‌‌مان را ای کریم ** سیرمان در ده تو از آب حمیم‌‌

Put us all to the test, O noble sir: give us our fill of hot water (to drink),

بعد از آن ما را به صحرایی کلان ** تو سواره ما پیاده می‌‌دوان‌‌

And afterwards make us run into a great plain, thou being mounted and we on foot.

آن گهان بنگر تو بد کردار را ** صنعهای کاشف الاسرار را

گشت ساقی خواجه از آب حمیم ** مر غلامان را و خوردند آن ز بیم‌‌

يوم تبلی، السرائر کلها ** بان منکم کامن لا یشتهی‌‌
