الضیافة للغریب والقری ** اودع الرحمن فی اهل القری
The Merciful (God) has implanted hospitality to strangers and entertainment (of guests) in the villagers (countryfolk).
کل یوم فی القری ضیف حدیث ** ما له غیر الاله من مغیث 2400
Every day in the villages (countryside) there is a new guest who has none to help him except God.
کل لیل فی القری وفد جدید ** ما لهم ثم سوی الله محید
Every night in the villages (countryside) are new-comers who have no refuge there save God.
تخمه بودند آن دو بیگانه ز خور ** بود صایم روز آن مومن مگر
The two aliens (the Jew and the Christian) were surfeited with food and suffering from indigestion; the true believer, as it happened, was fasting (all) day.
