  • I will unite thee with the Amír: for God's sake, for God's sake, do not breathe a word of this story,
  • با امیرت جفت خواهم کرد من  ** الله الله زین حکایت دم مزن 
  • Lest he become ashamed to face me; for he has done one bad deed and a hundred thousand good.
  • تا نگردد او ز رویم شرمسار  ** کو یکی بد کرد و نیکی صد هزار 
  • (Many) times have I put him to the test: I have entrusted him with (girls) fairer than thou art. 4015
  • بارها من امتحانش کرده‌ام  ** خوب‌تر از تو بدو بسپرده‌ام 
  • I (always) found him perfect in fidelity; (so I know that) this too was a (Divine) judgment resulting from things done by me.”
  • در امانت یافتم او را تمام  ** این قضایی بود هم از کرده‌هام 
  • Then he summoned his Amír to his presence: he extinguished in himself the wrath that meditates a violent revenge.
  • پس به خود خواند آن امیر خویش را  ** کشت در خود خشم قهراندیش را 
  • He made an agreeable excuse to him, saying, “I have become disinclined to this slave-girl,
  • کرد با او یک بهانه‌ی دل‌پذیر  ** که شدستم زین کنیزک من نفیر 
  • Because the mother of my children is terribly agitated by jealousy and envy of the girl.
  • زان سبب کز غیرت و رشک کنیز  ** مادر فرزند دارد صد ازیز 
  • The mother of my children has many claims (on me): she does not deserve (to suffer) such injustice and unkindness. 4020
  • مادر فرزند را بس حقهاست  ** او نه درخورد چنین جور و جفاست 
  • She is nursing envy and jealousy, she is suffering anguish, she is feeling great bitterness on account of this girl.
  • رشک و غیرت می‌برد خون می‌خورد  ** زین کنیزک سخت تلخی می‌برد 
  • Since I wish to give this girl to some person, ’tis most fitting (that I should give her) to thee, O dear friend;
  • چون کسی را داد خواهم این کنیز  ** پس ترا اولیترست این ای عزیز
