سر بر آرد او دگر ره شرمسار ** اندر افتد باز در رو همچو مار2160
Once more the shamefaced one lifts up his head, and falls again on his face, (flat) as a snake.
باز گوید سر بر آر و باز گو ** که بخواهم جست از تو مو بمو
Again He says, “Lift up thy head and relate (thy deeds), for I will inquire of thee (concerning them), hair by hair.”

مرغ بی‌هنگامی ای بدبخت رو ** ترک ما گو خون ما اندر مشو
Thou art an untimely bird. Begone, O miserable one, take leave of us, do not wade in our blood.”
