دفتر اول - بخش ۴۲ - بیان توکّل و ترک جهد گفتن نخچیران به شیر / Book One - Section 42 - Explanation of Trust and Abandoning Exertion, Spoken by the Beasts to the Lion

Original content

طایفهٔ نخچیر در وادی خوش
بودشان از شیر دایم کش مکش

بس که آن شیر از کمین می در ربود
آن چرا بر جمله ناخوش گشته بود

حیله کردند آمدند ایشان بشیر
کز وظیفه ما ترا داریم سیر

بعد ازین اندر پی صیدی میا
تا نگردد تلخ بر ما این گیا

English translation

A company of beasts in a pleasant valley Were always in conflict with the lion. Because that lion so often snatched them from ambush, That pasture had become unpleasant for them all. They devised a stratagem and came to the lion, Saying: 'With a fixed allowance we will keep you satisfied.' Henceforth, do not come in pursuit of prey, So that this grass does not become bitter to us.
