شرح این در آینه‌ی اعمال جو ** که نیابی فهم آن از گفت و گو

If I tell that which I have within, many hearts will immediately be turned into blood,

گر بگویم آنچ دارم در درون ** بس جگرها گردد اندر حال خون

I will refrain; indeed, for the intelligent this (which has been said) is enough: I have shouted twice, if any one is in the village 2770

بس کنم خود زیرکان را این بس است ** بانگ دو کردم اگر در ده کس است

To sum up, Hámán by means of those evil words waylaid Pharaoh in such a (terrible) way as this.

حاصل آن هامان بدان گفتار بد ** این چنین راهی بر آن فرعون زد

The morsel, felicity, had reached his (Pharaoh’s) mouth, (when) he (Hámán) suddenly cut his throat.

لقمه‌ی دولت رسیده تا دهان ** او گلوی او بریده ناگهان

He gave Pharaoh’s stack to the wind (destroyed him): may no king have such a minister!

خرمن فرعون را داد او به باد ** هیچ شه را این چنین صاحب مباد

How Moses, on whom be peace, despaired of Pharaoh’s accepting the true faith, because the words of Hámán made an impression on Pharaoh’s heart.

نومید شدن موسی علیه‌السلام از ایمام فرعون به تاثیر کردن سخن هامان در دل فرعون

Moses said, “We have shown kindness and generosity, (but) verily it was not the portion allotted to thy dominion

گفت موسی لطف بنمودیم وجود ** خود خداوندیت را روزی نبود

The dominion that is not righteous—regard it as having neither hand nor sleeve 2775

آن خداوندی که نبود راستین ** مر ورا نه دست دان نه آستین

The dominion that is stolen (usurped) is without heart and without soul and without eye.

آن خداوندی که دزدیده بود ** بی دل و بی جان و بی دیده بود

The dominion which the vulgar have given to thee they will take back from thee as a debt.

آن خداوندی که دادندت عوام ** باز بستانند از تو هم‌چو وام
