بخش ۵ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 5 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

در مصافی پادشاه حق شناس
یافت از خیل اسیران بی قیاس

با وزیر خویشتن گفت ای وزیر
چیست رای تو درین مشتی اسیر

گفت چون دادت خدای دادگر
آنچه بودت دوستر یعنی ظفر

آنچه آن حق دوستر دارد مدام
تو بکن آن نیز یعنی عفو عام

English translation

In a battle, a truth-recognizing king Obtained countless captives from the enemy host. He said to his vizier, 'O Vizier, What is your opinion regarding this handful of captives?' He said, 'Since the Just God has given you What was dearer to you, namely victory, Do that which God always loves more, Namely, a general amnesty.'
