1668-1677

  • Wherever you come to close quarters with a wrangle, you will see there two enemies (engaged) in exposing (each other's) secret.
  • هر کجا آیی تو در جنگی فراز  ** بینی آنجا دو عدو در کشف راز 

  • Know that that hour (of quarrel) is (like) the (hour of the) Last Judgement mentioned (in the Qur’án), and know that the throat which tells the secret is (like) the trumpet (of Isráfíl);
  • آن زمان را محشر مذکور دان  ** وان گلوی رازگو را صور دان 

  • For God hath provided the motives of anger and (thus) hath cause those shameful things to be divulged. 1670
  • که خدا اسباب خشمی ساختست  ** وآن فضایح را بکوی انداختست 

  • When he (the story-teller) had related many instances of the perfidy of tailors, the Turk became annoyed and angry and aggrieved,
  • بس که غدر درزیان را ذکر کرد  ** حیف آمد ترک را و خشم و درد 

  • And said, ‘O story-teller, in your city who is the greatest expert in this (kind of) deceit and fraud?’
  • گفت ای قصاص در شهر شما  ** کیست استاتر درین مکر و دغا 

  • [How the Turk boasted and wagered that the tailor would not be able to steal anything from him.]
  • دعوی کردن ترک و گرو بستن او کی درزی از من چیزی نتواند بردن 

  • He replied, ‘There is a tailor named Pír-i Shush who beats (all other) folk in light-fingeredness and thievery.’
  • گفت خیاطیست نامش پور شش  ** اندرین چستی و دزدی خلق‌کش 

  • ‘I warrant,’ said he (the Turk), ‘that (even) with a hundred efforts he will not be able to take away a coil of thread in my presence.’
  • گفت من ضامن که با صد اضطراب  ** او نیارد برد پیشم رشته‌تاب 

  • Then they told him, ‘Cleverer persons than you have been checkmated by him: do not soar (too high) in your pretensions. 1675
  • پس بگفتندش که از تو چست‌تر  ** مات او گشتند در دعوی مپر 

  • Go to, be not so deluded by your intelligence, else you will be lost in his wiles.’
  • رو به عقل خود چنین غره مباش  ** که شوی یاوه تو در تزویرهاش 

  • The Turk became (still) hotter and made a wager there (and then) that he (the tailor) would not be able to rob (him of anything) either old or new.
  • گرم‌تر شد ترک و بست آنجا گرو  ** که نیارد برد نی کهنه نی نو
