هم تو و هم ما و هم اشباه تو ** خاک گردند و نماند جاه تو

Both thou and we and all who resemble thee will become earth, and thy power will remain no more.”

گفت غیر این نسب نامیت هست ** مر ترا آن نام خود اولیترست

He (Pharaoh) said, “Thou hast a name other than this lineage: truly that name is more proper for thee—

بنده‌ی فرعون و بنده‌ی بندگانش ** که ازو پرورد اول جسم و جانش 2320

‘Slave of Pharaoh and slave of his slaves,’ (a slave) whose body and soul were first nurtured by him (Pharaoh),

بنده‌ی یاغی طاغی ظلوم ** زین وطن بگریخته از فعل شوم

A hostile, insolent and unrighteous slave, who fled from this country on account of an ill-omened deed.

خونی و غداری و حق‌ناشناس ** هم برین اوصاف خود می‌کن قیاس

Thou art a murderer and treacherous and ungrateful: from just these qualities, forsooth, form a judgement (as to the rest).

در غریبی خوار و درویش و خلق ** که ندانستی سپاس ما و حق

(Thou art) in exile, despised and poor and threadbare, since thou didst not acknowledge gratitude and obligation to me.”

گفت حاشا که بود با آن ملیک ** در خداوندی کسی دیگر شریک

He (Moses) said, “Far be it that any other person should be a partner in Lordship with that King.

واحد اندر ملک او را یار نی ** بندگانش را جز او سالار نی 2325

(He is) One: He hath no associate in Kingship; His slaves have no master but Him.

نیست خلقش را دگر کس مالکی ** شرکتش دعوی کند جز هالکی

His creatures have no other owner: does any one claim partnership with Him except one that is doomed to perish?

نقش او کردست و نقاش من اوست ** غیر اگر دعوی کند او ظلم‌جوست

He hath made the design, He is my Designer; if another lay claim (to it), he is a seeker of iniquity.
