  • Having seen the lion miserably slain in the well, he was skipping joyously all the way to the meadow, 1340
  • شیر را چون دید در چه کشته زار ** چرخ می‌‌زد شادمان تا مرغزار

  • Clapping his hands because he had escaped from the hand of Death; fresh and dancing in the air, like bough and leaf.
  • دست می‌‌زد چون رهید از دست مرگ ** سبز و رقصان در هوا چون شاخ و برگ‌‌

  • Bough and leaf were set free from the prison of earth, lifted their heads, and became comrades of the wind;
  • شاخ و برگ از حبس خاک آزاد شد ** سر بر آورد و حریف باد شد

  • The leaves, when they had burst (forth from) the bough, made haste to reach the top of the tree;
  • برگها چون شاخ را بشکافتند ** تا به بالای درخت اشتافتند

  • With the tongue of (seed that put forth) its sprouts each fruit and tree severally is singing thanks to God,
  • با زبان شطاه شکر خدا ** می‌‌سراید هر بر و برگی جدا

  • Saying, “The Bounteous Giver nourished our root until the tree grew big and stood upright.” 1345
  • که بپرورد اصل ما را ذو العطا ** تا درخت استغلظ آمد و استوی‌‌

  • (Even so) the spirits bound in clay, when they escape glad at heart from their (prisons of) clay,
  • جانهای بسته اندر آب و گل ** چون رهند از آب و گلها شاد دل‌‌

  • Begin to dance in the air of Divine Love and become flawless like the full moon's orb,
  • در هوای عشق حق رقصان شوند ** همچو قرص بدر بی‌‌نقصان شوند

  • Their bodies dancing, and their souls—nay, do not ask (how their souls fare); and of that which surrounds the soul—nay, do not ask of those things!
  • جسمشان در رقص و جانها خود مپرس ** و آن که گرد جان از آنها خود مپرس‌‌

  • The hare lodged the lion in prison. Shame on a lion who was discomfited by a hare!
  • شیر را خرگوش در زندان نشاند ** ننگ شیری کاو ز خرگوشی بماند
