آن‌چنان لرزد که مادر بر ولد ** دستشان گیرد به بالا می‌کشد
It trembles even as a mother for her child: it takes them by the hand and draws them upward,
کای خداتان وا خریده از غرور ** نک ریاض فضل و نک رب غفور
Saying, “O ye whom God hath redeemed from delusion, behold the gardens of (Divine) grace and behold the forgiving Lord!
بعد ازینتان برگ و رزق جاودان ** از هوای حق بود نه از ناودان
Henceforth ye have everlasting provision and sustenance from God's air, not from the gutter (on the roof).”
چونک دریا بر وسایط رشک کرد ** تشنه چون ماهی به ترک مشک کرد
Inasmuch as the Sea is jealous of intermediaries, he that is thirsty as a fish takes leave of the water-skin.
روان شدن شه‌زادگان در ممالک پدر بعد از وداع کردن ایشان شاه را و اعادت کردن شاه وقت وداع وصیت را الی آخره
How the princes, having bidden the King farewell, set out on a journey through their father's empire, and how the King repeated his injunctions at the moment of farewell.
عزم ره کردند آن هر سه پسر ** سوی املاک پدر رسم سفر 3630
The (King's) three sons set out, in the fashion of (men equipped for) travel, to (visit) their father's (distant) possessions,
در طواف شهرها و قلعه‌هاش ** از پی تدبیر دیوان و معاش
And to make a tour of his cities and fortresses for the purpose of regulating the administrative and economic conditions.
دست‌بوس شاه کردند و وداع ** پس بدیشان گفت آن شاه مطاع
They kissed the King's hand and bade him farewell; then the King, (who is) obeyed (by all), said to them:
هر کجاتان دل کشد عازم شوید ** فی امان الله دست افشان روید
“Direct your course whithersoever your heart (inclination) may lead you, go (your way) under the protection of God, waving your hands (dancing joyously).
غیر آن یک قلعه نامش هش‌ربا ** تنگ آرد بر کله‌داران قبا
(Go anywhere) except to one fortress, the name of which is ‘the robber of reason’: it makes the coat tight for wearers of the tiara.
الله الله زان دز ذات الصور ** دور باشید و بترسید از خطر 3635
For God's sake, for God's sake, keep far away from that castle adorned with pictures, and beware of the peril!
