  • دوغ روغن ناگرفتست و کهن ** تا بنگزینی بنه خرجش مکن

  • هین بگردانش به دانش دست دست ** تا نماید آنچ پنهان کرده است

  • هست بازیهای آن شیر علم ** مخبری از بادهای مکتتم

  • If there were not the movement of those winds, how would the dead lion leap into the air?
  • گر نبودی جنبش آن بادها ** شیر مرده کی بجستی در هوا
