لیک می‌گویید هر دم شکر آب ** بی‌زبان چون گلستان خوش‌خضاب
But do ye, like the gay-coloured garden, at every moment give unspoken thanks to the Water.
بی‌زبان گویند سرو و سبزه‌زار ** شکر آب و شکر عدل نوبهار
The cypresses and the green orchard mutely thank the water (that nourishes them) and show (silent) gratitude for the justice of Spring:
حله‌ها پوشیده و دامن‌کشان ** مست و رقاص و خوش و عنبرفشان 4545
Clad in (fresh) robes and trailing their skirts, drunken and dancing and jubilant and scattering perfume;
جزو جزو آبستن از شاه بهار ** جسمشان چون درج پر در ثمار
Every part (of them) impregnated by royal Spring, their bodies as caskets filled with pearly fruit;
مریمان بی شوی آبست از مسیح ** خامشان بی لاف و گفتاری فصیح
(Like) Maries, having no husband, yet big with a Messiah; silent ones, wordless and devoid of articulate expression,
ماه ما بی‌نطق خوش بر تافتست ** هر زبان نطق از فر ما یافتست
(Saying implicitly), “Our Moon hath shone brightly (upon us) without speech: every tongue hath derived its speech from our beauty.”
نطق عیسی از فر مریم بود ** نطق آدم پرتو آن دم بود
The speech of Jesus is (derived) from the (spiritual) beauty of Mary; the speech of Adam is a ray (reflexion) of the (Divine) Breath.
تا زیادت گردد از شکر ای ثقات ** پس نبات دیگرست اندر نبات 4550
(This thanksgiving of the orchard is a lesson to you) in order that from (your) thanksgiving, O men of trust, increase (of spiritual glory) may accrue; (and if ye give thanks) then other plants are (springing up) amidst the herbage.
عکس آن اینجاست ذل من قنع ** اندرین طورست عز من طمع
Here the reverse (of the well-known Tradition) is (applicable), (for) he that is content (with a modicum of thanksgiving) shall be abased; (and similarly), in this case, he that covets (excess of thanksgiving) shall be exalted.
در جوال نفس خود چندین مرو ** از خریداران خود غافل مشو
Do not go so much into the sack of thy fleshly soul, do not be (so) forgetful of thy purchasers (redeemers).
باز آمدن زن جوحی به محکمه‌ی قاضی سال دوم بر امید وظیفه‌ی پارسال و شناختن قاضی او را الی اتمامه
How next year Júhí's wife returned to the court of the cadi, hoping for the same contribution (of money) as last year, and how the cadi recognised her, and so on to the end of the story.
