- Forasmuch as all those marks are in thee, and thou art (one) of them, how wilt thou be saved? 3115
- آن نشانیها همه چون در تو هست ** چون تو زیشانی کجا خواهی برست
- The story of Júhí and the child who cried lamentably beside his father's bier.
- قصهی جوحی و آن کودک که پیش جنازهی پدر خویش نوحه میکرد
- A child was crying bitterly and beating his head beside his father's coffin,
- کودکی در پیش تابوت پدر ** زار مینالید و بر میکوفت سر
- Saying, “Why, father, where are they taking you to put you under some earth?
- کای پدر آخر کجایت میبرند ** تا ترا در زیر خاکی بسپرند
- They are taking you to a narrow and noisome house: there is no carpet in it, nor any mat;
- میبرندت خانهی تنگ و زحیر ** نی در او قالی و نه در وی حصیر
- No lamp at night and no bread by day; neither smell nor sign of food is there.
- نی چراغی در شب و نه روز نان ** نی در او بوی طعام و نه نشان
- No door in good repair, no way to the roof; not one neighbour to be (your) refuge. 3120
- نی درش معمور و نی در بام راه ** نی یکی همسایه کاو باشد پناه
- Your eye, which was a place for the people's kisses—how should it go into a blind and murky house?—
- چشم تو که بوسه گاه خلق بود ** چون رود در خانهی کور و کبود
- A pitiless house and narrow room, where neither (your) face will be lasting nor (your) colour.”
- خانهی بیزینهار و جای تنگ ** که در او نه روی میماند نه رنگ
- In this manner was he enumerating the qualities of the house, whilst he wrung tears of blood from his two eyes.
- زین نسق اوصاف خانه میشمرد ** وز دو دیده اشک خونین میفشرد
- Júhí said to his father, “O worthy (sir), by God they are taking this (corpse) to our house.”
- گفت جوحی را پدر ای ارجمند ** و الله این را خانهی ما میبرند
