2560-2569

  • The area of God's earth is spacious: every tree springs up from a certain soil. 2560
  • صحن ارض الله واسع آمده  ** هر درختی از زمینی سر زده 

  • The leaves and boughs on the trees are giving thanks (to God), crying, “Oh, what a fine kingdom! Oh, what a broad expanse!”
  • بر درختان شکر گویان برگ و شاخ  ** که زهی ملک و زهی عرصه‌ی فراخ 

  • The nightingales are (flying) round the knobby blossom, saying, “Give us some of that which thou drinkest.”
  • بلبلان گرد شکوفه‌ی پر گره  ** که از آنچ می‌خوری ما را بده 

  • This discourse hath no end: return to the fox and the lion and the (lion's) sickness and hunger.
  • این سخن پایان ندارد کن رجوع  ** سوی آن روباه و شیر و سقم و جوع 

  • How the fox brought the ass to the lion, and how the ass jumped away from the lion, and how the fox reproached the lion, saying, “The ass was still far off: you were too hasty”; and how the lion made excuses and entreated the fox to go and trick him a second time.
  • بردن روبه خر را پیش شیر و جستن خر از شیر و عتاب کردن روباه با شیر کی هنوز خر دور بود تعجیل کردی و عذر گفتن شیر و لابه کردن روبه را شیر کی برو بار دگرش به فریب 

  • When he (the fox) brought him (the ass) up the hill towards the meadow, in order that the lion might pulverise him with a (sudden) charge,
  • چونک بر کوهش بسوی مرج برد  ** تا کند شیرش به حمله خرد و مرد 

  • He (the ass) was (still) far from the lion, but the lion would not wait for him to come near before attacking. 2565
  • دور بود از شیر و آن شیر از نبرد  ** تا به نزدیک آمدن صبری نکرد 

  • The terrible lion made a spring from an eminence, (though) indeed he had not the strength and power to move (effectively).
  • گنبدی کرد از بلندی شیر هول  ** خود نبودش قوت و امکان حول 

  • The ass saw him from afar and turned and fled to the bottom of the hill, dropping his shoes as he ran.
  • خر ز دورش دید و برگشت و گریز  ** تا به زیر کوه تازان نعل ریز 

  • “O king of us (all),” said the fox to the lion, “why didst not thou restrain thyself in the hour of battle,
  • گفت روبه شیر را ای شاه ما  ** چون نکردی صبر در وقت وغا 

  • In order that that misguided (creature) might come near thee and that thou might’st vanquish him with a small attack?
  • تا به نزدیک تو آید آن غوی  ** تا باندک حمله‌ای غالب شوی
