  • O my generous friends, have pity on the votaries of passion: ’tis their business to go down to destruction after destruction.
  • یا کرامی ارحموا اهل الهوی  ** شانهم ورد التوی بعد التوی 

  • (The people said), “O Amír, pardon his (the ascetic's) violence: consider his sorrow and ill-fortune,
  • عفو کن ای میر بر سختی او  ** در نگر در درد و بدبختی او 

  • In order that God may pardon thy sins likewise and heap forgiveness on thy faults. 3550

  • Thou hast heedlessly broken many a jug and set thy heart on the hope of pardon.
  • تو ز غفلت بس سبو بشکسته‌ای  ** در امید عفو دل در بسته‌ای 

  • Pardon, that thou mayst win pardon in return: the (Divine) decree splits hairs (is exceedingly scrupulous) in (giving every one his) deserts.”
  • عفو کن تا عفو یابی در جزا  ** می‌شکافد مو قدر اندر سزا 

  • How the Amír answered those neighbours of the ascetic who interceded for him: “Why,” said he, “did he behave (so) impudently and why did he break my jug (of wine)? I will not listen to intercession in this matter, for I have sworn to punish him as he deserves.”
  • جواب گفتن امیر مر آن شفیعان را و همسایگان زاهد را کی گستاخی چرا کرد و سبوی ما را چرا شکست من درین باب شفاعت قبول نخواهم کرد کی سوگند خورده‌ام کی سزای او را بدهم

  • He spilt a beverage that is better than his (own) blood, and now he has fled from me, like women.
  • شربتی که به ز خون اوست ریخت  ** این زمان هم‌چون زنان از ما گریخت 

  • But how shall he save his life from my hand? (Even) suppose that he flies up on high like a bird,
  • لیک جان از دست من او کی برد  ** گیر هم‌چون مرغ بالا بر پرد 

  • I will shoot the arrow of my vengeance at his wings, I will tear out his good-for-nothing wings and feathers.
  • تیر قهر خویش بر پرش زنم  ** پر و بال مردریگش بر کنم 

  • If he enter the hard rock (to escape) from my pursuit, I will drag him forth from the heart of the rock just now.
  • گر رود در سنگ سخت از کوششم  ** از دل سنگش کنون بیرون کشم 

  • I will inflict on his body such a blow as will be a warning to base scoundrels. 3560
  • من برانم بر تن او ضربتی  ** که بود قوادکان را عبرتی 

  • Hypocrisy to all and even to me! I will give him and a hundred like him their due at this moment.”

  • How the neighbours of the ascetic, who were interceding for him, kissed the hands and feet of the Amír and humbly entreated him a second time.
  • دو بار دست و پای امیر را بوسیدن و لابه کردن شفیعان و همسایگان زاهد 

  • At the breath of his clamour those intercessors kissed his hands and feet several times,
  • آن شفیعان از دم هیهای او  ** چند بوسیدند دست و پای او 

  • Saying, “O Amír, it does not beseem thee to exact vengeance: if the wine is gone, (yet) thou art delicious without wine.
  • کای امیر از تو نشاید کین کشی  ** گر بشد باده تو بی‌باده خوشی 

  • Wine derives its original substance from thy goodliness; the goodliness of water regrets (its lack of) thy goodliness. 3565
