جواب پدر / The Father's Answer

Original content

پدر گفتش چه گر اندک بود جاه
کزان اندک بسی مانی تو در چاه

دگر ره گر بطاعت بنگری باز
ترا حالی حجابی افتد آغاز

چو از طاعت حجابی پیشت آید
حجاب از جاه جستن بیشت آید

English translation

The father said to him: 'Even if worldly rank is small, By that little you will remain long in the well. If you look upon your obedience once more, A veil will immediately fall upon you at the start. Since a veil comes before you from obedience, The veil from seeking worldly rank will be even greater.'
