بخش ۱۳ - الحكایة و التمثیل / Section 13 - The Tale and the Parable

Original content

میگریست آن بیدل دیوانه زار
آن یکی گفتش چرائی اشکبار

گفت گیرم میشکیبم برهنه
چون نگریم زانکه هستم گرسنه

گفت اگرچه میکند نانت هوس
چون زگرسنگی بگرید چون تو کس

گفت آخر چون نگریم ده تنه
کاو ازان دارد چنینم گرسنه

تا بگریم همچو ابر نوبهار
لاجرم میگریم اکنون زار زار

English translation

That heart-lost madman was weeping bitterly, Someone asked him, 'Why are you shedding tears?' He said, 'Suppose I endure being naked, How can I not weep since I am hungry?' The other said, 'Even though you crave bread, Why would someone like you weep from hunger?' He replied, 'After all, how can I not weep with the force of ten, When He keeps me so hungry for this very reason, That I might weep like a cloud in early spring? Therefore, I weep now so bitterly.'
