- Whoever turned his head away from this dead bird never gained the hand of that Hunter.
- هر که او زین مرغ مرده سر بتافت ** دست آن صیاد را هرگز نیافت
- It (the dead bird) says, “Do not regard my being a carcase: see the King's love (shown) in preserving me.
- گوید او منگر به مرداری من ** عشق شه بین در نگهداری من
- I am not a carcase: the King hath killed me: my appearance has become like (that of) the dead. 1060
- من نه مردارم مرا شه کشته است ** صورت من شبه مرده گشته است
- My former motion was by means of wing and pinion: now my motion proceeds from the hand of the (Divine) Judge.
- جنبشم زین پیش بود از بال و پر ** جنبشم اکنون ز دست دادگر
- My perishable motion has gone forth from my skin: now my motion is everlasting, since it proceeds from Him.
- جنبش فانیم بیرون شد ز پوست ** جنبشم باقیست اکنون چون ازوست
- If any one move crookedly (misbehave) in the presence of my motion, I will kill him miserably, (even) though he is the Símurgh.
- هر که کژ جنبد به پیش جنبشم ** گرچه سیمرغست زارش می‌کشم
- Beware! If thou art (spiritually) alive, do not deem me dead; if thou art a (devoted) slave (of God), regard me (as being) in the hand of the King.
- هین مرا مرده مبین گر زنده‌ای ** در کف شاهم نگر گر بنده‌ای
- Jesus, by his grace, made the dead to be living: I am in the hand of the Creator of Jesus. 1065
- مرده زنده کرد عیسی از کرم ** من به کف خالق عیسی درم
- How should I remain dead in the grasp of God? Likewise, do not hold this to be possible in (the case of) the hand of ‘Jesus.’
- کی بمانم مرده در قبضه‌ی خدا ** بر کف عیسی مدار این هم روا
- I am ‘Jesus’; but every one that hath gained life from (been revived by) my breath will remain unto everlasting.
- عیسی‌ام لیکن هر آنکو یافت جان ** از دم من او بماند جاودان
