روی پس ناکرده می‌گفتی به شب ** هین گو آمد میل کن در سوی چپ

Without looking behind him, he would say, (though it was) at night-time, ‘Hark! here is a ditch: turn to the left!’

باز گفتی بعد یک دم سوی راست ** میل کن زیرا که خاری پیش پاست

Then, after a little while, he would say, ‘Turn to the right, because a thorn is before your feet.’

روز گشتی پاش را ما پای‌بوس ** گشته و پایش چو پاهای عروس

Day would break: we would come to kiss his foot, and his foot would be like the feet of a bride,
