When she became sure (of this), her face turned pale and her heart grew cold (averse) to Islam.
چون یقین گشتش رخ او زرد شد ** از مسلمانی دل او سرد شد
I was delivered from anxiety and torment: last night I slept sound in a peaceful sleep.
باز رستم من ز تشویش و عذاب ** دوش خوش خفتم در آن بیخوف خواب
This was the pleasure (that came) to me from his voice: in gratitude I bring (these) gifts: where is the man?”3385
راحتم این بود از آواز او ** هدیه آوردم به شکر آن مرد کو
When he saw him (the muezzin), he said, “Accept the gift, for thou hast been my protector and saviour.
چون بدیدش گفت این هدیه پذیر ** که مرا گشتی مجیر و دستگیر
(On account of) the benefit and kindness that thou hast done to me, I have become thy slave perpetually.
آنچ کردی با من از احسان و بر ** بندهی تو گشتهام من مستمر
If I were eminent in respect of property, possessions, and riches, I would fill thy mouth with gold.”
گر به مال و ملک و ثروت فردمی ** من دهانت را پر از زر کردمی
“The Faith of you (Moslems) is hypocrisy and falsehood: like that call to prayer, it waylays (the seeker and prevents him from embracing Islam);
هست ایمان شما زرق و مجاز ** راهزن همچون که آن بانگ نماز
But many a regret has come into my heart and soul from (my admiration for) the Faith and sincerity of Báyazíd.”3390
لیک از ایمان و صدق بایزید ** چند حسرت در دل و جانم رسید
Tanquam illa femina quae, cum concubitum asini videret, dixit: “Eheu, quid est hic admissarius egregius? [Just like that woman who observed sexual intercourse with the ass, she said (to herself): “Oh, what is this incomparable stallion?]
همچو آن زن کو جماع خر بدید ** گفت آوه چیست این فحل فرید
Si concubitus hoc est, hi asini (praemium) abstulerunt: cacant super vulvis nostris hi mariti.” [If sexual intercourse is (like) this, these asses have won (the prize): these husbands (just) defecate on our vulvas.”]
گر جماع اینست بردند این خران ** بر کس ما میریند این شوهران
