حق هزاران صنعت و فن ساختست ** تا که مادر بر تو مهر انداختست

God hath prepared thousands of artifices and contrivances, so that thy mother hath thrown (her) love upon thee.

پس حق حق سابق از مادر بود ** هر که آن حق را نداند خر بود

Therefore God's right is prior to (that of) the mother: whoever does not recognise that right is an ass.

آنک مادر آفرید و ضرع و شیر ** با پدر کردش قرین آن خود مگیر 330

(If thou deny it), do not even admit that He created mother, teat, and milk, and united her with the father!

ای خداوند ای قدیم احسان تو ** آنک دانم وانک نه هم آن تو

O Lord, O Thou whose beneficence is eternal, Thine is both that which I know and that which I know not.

تو بفرمودی که حق را یاد کن ** زانک حق من نمی‌گردد کهن

Thou didst command, saying, “Remember God, because My right shall never grow old.

یاد کن لطفی که کردم آن صبوح ** با شما از حفظ در کشتی نوح

Remember the kindness which I did unto you that morn by protecting (you) in the ship (ark) of Noah.

پیله بابایانتان را آن زمان ** دادم از طوفان و از موجش امان

At that time I gave to the stock of your fathers security from the Flood and from its waves.

آب آتش خو زمین بگرفته بود ** موج او مر اوج که را می‌ربود 335

Water, like fire in (its deadly) nature, had covered the earth: its waves were sweeping away the highest peaks of the mountains.

حفظ کردم من نکردم ردتان ** در وجود جد جد جدتان

I protected you, I did not spurn you, in the bodies of the ancestors of the ancestors of your ancestors.

چون شدی سر پشت پایت چون زنم ** کارگاه خویش ضایع چون کنم

Now that you have come to the head, how should I smite the sole of your foot? How should I let My workshop go to waste?
