- گفت با هامان بگویم ای ستیر ** شاه را لازم بود رای وزیر

- گفت با هامان مگو این راز را ** کور کمپیری چه داند باز را
- Story of the king's falcon and the decrepit old woman.
- قصهی باز پادشاه و کمپیر زن
- (If) you give a white falcon to a decrepit old woman, she will clip its talons for the sake of (its supposed) welfare.
- باز اسپیدی به کمپیری دهی ** او ببرد ناخنش بهر بهی
- The blind old woman will blindly clip the talons which are the source of its usefulness in the chase,
- ناخنی که اصل کارست و شکار ** کور کمپیری ببرد کوروار

- که کجا بودست مادر که ترا ** ناخنان زین سان درازست ای کیا
- She clipped its talons and beak and wings: the filthy old hag does this at the time of (at the time when she is moved by) affection.
- ناخن و منقار و پرش را برید ** وقت مهر این میکند زال پلید
- When she gives it tutmáj, it will not eat; (then) she is enraged and tears up her feelings of affection,
- چونک تتماجش دهد او کم خورد ** خشم گیرد مهرها را بر درد
