Original content

کردروزی چند سارخگی قرار
بر درختی بس قوی یعنی چنار

چون سفر را کرد آخر کار راست
از چنار کوه پیکر عذر خواست

گفت زحمت دادمت بسیار من
زحمتی ندهم دگر این بار من

مهر برداشت از زفان حالی چنار
گفت خود را بیش ازین رنجه مدار

فارغم از آمدن وز رفتنت
نیست جز بیهوده درهم گفتنت

زانکه گرچون تو درآید صد هزار
یک دمم با آن نباشد هیچ کار

خواه بامن صبر کن خواهی مکن
تو که باشی تا ز من گوئی سخن

لیک اگر از عجز آئی پیش در
زانچه میجوئی بیابی بیشتر

English translation

For a few days, a starling rested Upon a very strong tree, that is, a plane tree. When at last it prepared for its journey, It asked for forgiveness from the mountain-like plane tree. It said, 'I have caused you much trouble, I will not cause you trouble again this time.' The plane tree immediately broke the seal of its tongue, And said, 'Do not distress yourself more than this. I am indifferent to your coming and going, Your babbling is nothing but foolishness. For if a hundred thousand like you were to arrive, I would not have a moment's concern with them. Whether you stay with me or not, Who are you to speak of me? But if you come to the door out of helplessness, You will find more of what you are seeking.'
