بخش ۸ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 8 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

کودکی با خویش تنها ساختی
جوز با خود جمله تنها باختی

آن یکی پرسید از وی کای غلام
از چه تنها جوز میبازی مدام

گفت میری دوست میدارم بسی
تا همه من میر باشم نه کسی

English translation

A child would play all by himself, Playing the walnut game entirely alone. Someone asked him, 'O boy, Why do you constantly play with walnuts alone?' He replied, 'I love being the chief so much, That I want to be the sole chief, and no one else.'
