- تا شبانگه میکشید و میگشاد ** تا ز صفرا قی شدن بر وی فتاد
- All the things he had eaten, bad or good, came up from him: the snake shot forth from him along with what he had eaten.
- زو بر آمد خوردهها زشت و نکو ** مار با آن خورده بیرون جست از او
- When he saw the snake outside of him, he fell on his knees before that beneficent man.
- چون بدید از خود برون آن مار را ** سجده آورد آن نکو کردار را
- As soon as he saw the horror of that black, ugly, big snake, those griefs departed from him. 1895

- Oh, blest (is) the hour that you saw me: I was dead, you have given me new life.
- ای مبارک ساعتی که دیدیام ** مرده بودم جان نو بخشیدیام
- You (were) seeking me like mothers (in search of their children); I (was) fleeing from you like asses.
