اقتضای داوری رب دین ** سر بر آرد از ضمیر آن و این

The craving prompted by the ordainment of the Lord of the Judgement springs up in the conscience of all and sundry

کان فلان چون شد چه شد حالش چه گشت ** همچنانک جوشد از گلزار کشت 2490

(So that they ask), “How was it with such-and-such? What happened to him? What became of him? “—just as the sown seed shoots up from the loam.

جوشش خون باشد آن وا جستها ** خارش دلها و بحث و ماجرا

Those inquiries, the pricking of (conscience in men’s) beans and the investigation and discussion, are the stirring of the (murdered man’s) blood.

چونک پیداگشت سر کار او ** معجزه داود شد فاش و دوتو

When the mystery of his (the murderer’s) case had been divulged, David’s miracles became doubly manifest

خلق جمله سر برهنه آمدند ** سر به سجده بر زمینها می‌زدند

All the people came bare-headed and cast their heads in prostration on the earth,

ما همه کوران اصلی بوده‌ایم ** از تو ما صد گون عجایب دیده‌ایم

(Saying), “We all have been (as those who are) blind from birth, (though) we have seen from thee marvels of a hundred kinds.

سنگ با تو در سخن آمد شهیر ** کز برای غزو طالوتم بگیر 2495

The stone came to speech with thee overtly, and said, ‘Take me for Saul’s expedition (against Goliath)’;

تو به سه سنگ و فلاخن آمدی ** صد هزاران مرد را بر هم زدی

Thou camest with three pebbles and a sling and didst rout a hundred thousand men:

سنگهایت صدهزاران پاره شد ** هر یکی هر خصم را خون‌خواره شد

Thy pebbles broke into a hundred thousand pieces, and each one drank the blood of an enemy.

آهن اندر دست تو چون موم شد ** چون زره‌سازی ترا معلوم شد

Iron became as wax in thy hand when the (craft of) fashioning coats of mail was made known to thee.
