Original content

عارفی طوف کنان رفت به باغ
دید در باغ حمامی با زاغ

با هم از حکم دو جنسی رسته
چون دو همنجس به هم پیوسته

عارف آن حال عجب را چون دید
به تعجب سر انگشت گزید

که دو ناجنس به هم چون گستاخ
میوه چین آمده اند از یک شاخ

ناگهان دید که از شاخ بلند
برگشادند سوی خاک نژند

آب جویان به تک و پوی شدند
لنگ لنگان به لب جوی شدند

دید کانبازیشان در لنگی
می دهد خاصیت یکرنگی

زاغرا ور نه چه نسبت به حمام
که گزینند به یک شاخ مقام

بس دو خویش به نسب همخانه
که نشینند ز هم بیگانه

آشنایی نه به قرب نسب است
قرب ارباب ادب از ادب است

English translation

A mystic, wandering about, went to a garden, He saw in the garden a pigeon with a crow. They had escaped the division of being of different species, And had joined together as if they were of the same kind. When the mystic saw this wondrous state, He bit his fingertip in astonishment: 'How did two dissimilar creatures so boldly Come to gather fruit from a single branch?' Suddenly he saw that from the high branch, They took flight down toward the dark earth. Seeking water, they began to run, And went limping to the edge of the stream. He saw that their partnership in limping Gave them the quality of concord. Otherwise, what affinity has a crow with a pigeon, That they should take their place on the same branch? Many relatives of blood sharing a house Sit as strangers to one another. Affinity is not through proximity of lineage; The proximity of the people of refinement comes from refinement.
