حامله شد ناگهان دختر ازو ** چون بود هر دو جوان خاتون و شو 3725
(Nevertheless) she suddenly became with child by him (her husband): how should it be (otherwise when) both the wife and the husband are young?.
از پدر او را خفی می‌داشتش ** پنج ماهه گشت کودک یا که شش
She kept it (the child) hidden from her father, (till) the child was five or six months old.
گشت پیدا گفت بابا چیست این ** من نگفتم که ازو دوری گزین
(Then) the discovery was made. “What is this?” asked her father; “did not I tell thee to adopt (the practice of) withdrawal from him?
این وصیتهای من خود باد بود ** که نکردت پند و وعظم هیچ سود
These injunctions of mine were (mere) wind, forsooth! My counsel and exhortations have been of no use to thee.”
گفت بابا چون کنم پرهیز من ** آتش و پنبه‌ست بی‌شک مرد و زن
“Father,” said she, “how should I guard myself? Man and wife, beyond doubt, are (as) fire and cotton.
پنبه را پرهیز از آتش کجاست ** یا در آتش کی حفاظست و تقاست 3730
What means has the cotton of guarding itself from the fire, or when is there (any) carefulness and caution in the fire?”
گفت من گفتم که سوی او مرو ** تو پذیرای منی او مشو
He replied, “I said, ‘noli te viro admovere, noli semen ejus recipere. [He replied, “I said, ‘don’t go to him (for sexual pleasure), don’t accept his sperm.]
در زمان حال و انزال و خوشی ** خویشتن باید که از وی در کشی
Tempore summae voluptatis et emissionis et deliciarum te corpus ab eo retrahere oportet.’” [At the moment of ecstasy, (seminal) emission, and pleasure you must draw yourself away from him.’”]
گفت کی دانم که انزالش کیست ** این نهانست و بغایت دوردست
She said, “Quando sit ejus emissio quomodo intelligam? hoc enim occultum et valde difficile est.” [She said, “How may I know when his emission is? It is hidden and is very remote (difficult to predict).”]
گفت چشمش چون کلاپیسه شود ** فهم کن که آن وقت انزالش بود
He replied, “Cum res eo redierit ut oculi ejus volvantur, intellige id esse tempus emissionis.” [He replied, “When his eyes start to roll (and show whiteness), know that it is the moment of his emission.”]
