  • زان ضلالتهای یاوه‌تازشان  ** حفره‌ی دیوار و در غمازشان 
  • The wall could not possibly be plastered (repaired): there was no possibility of denying before Ayáz (what they had done);
  • ممکن اندای آن دیوار نی  ** با ایاز امکان هیچ انکار نی 
  • (For) if they make a pretence of being innocent, the wall and floor will bear witness (against them).

  • (With such reflections) they were returning to the King, covered with dust and pale-faced and ashamed.
  • باز می‌گشتند سوی شهریار  ** پر ز گرد و روی زرد و شرمسار 
  • How the plotters returned from the chamber of Ayáz to the King with empty bags and overcome by shame, as those who thought ill of the prophets, on whom be peace, (shall be confounded) at the time when their (the prophets') innocence and holiness shall be made manifest; for (God hath said), “on the Day when (some) faces shall be white and (some) faces shall be black,” and He hath said, “and thou shalt see those who lied against God, their faces blackened.”

  • And if ye have concealed the pounds and pence, (then) where is the brightness of joy (that should appear) on cheeks and countenance?

  • Although the roots of every rooty (tree) are hidden, (yet) the leaves—their marks (upon) their faces—are green.
  • گرچه پنهان بیخ هر بیخ آورست  ** برگ سیماهم وجوهم اخضرست 
  • Lo, the lofty bough is proclaiming what the root has imbibed, whether it be poison or sugar.
  • آنچ خورد آن بیخ از زهر و ز قند  ** نک منادی می‌کند شاخ بلند 
  • If the root is leafless and without sap, what (then) are (signify) the green leaves on the bough?
  • بیخ اگر بی‌برگ و از مایه تهیست  ** برگهای سبز اندر شاخ چیست
