بخش ۳ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 3 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

آن مخنث دید ماری را عظیم
جست همچون باد بر بامی ز بیم

گوییا جست آن زمان از زیر تیغ
گفت کاو مردی و سنگی ای دریغ

نیست نامردی تو در دست تو
خود ندارد زور تیر از شست تو

گرچه بسیاری نمایی رستمی
نیست ممکن از مخنث محکمی

گرچه نامی بس نکو کردت پدر
لیک ننگی آمدی تو ای پسر

English translation

That effeminate man saw a huge snake, He leaped like the wind onto a roof out of fear. As if he had leaped at that moment from beneath a sword, Someone said, "Where is manliness and fortitude, alas! Your unmanliness is not in your control, Your thumb itself lacks the strength for an arrow. Although you may put on a great show of Rustam-like bravery, Firmness is not possible from an effeminate man. Although your father gave you a very good name, But you turned out to be a disgrace, O son!"
