المقالة الثالثة / The Third Discourse

Original content

پسر گفتش که زن زانست مقصود
که فرزندی شود شایسته موجود

که چون کس راست فرزند یگانه
بماند ذکر خیرش جاودانه

اگر فرزند من آگاه باشد
مرا فردا شفاعت خواه باشد

چو فرزند خلف آید پدیدار
بصد جانش توان گشتن خریدار

همه کس را چنین فرزند باید
به فرزندم چنین پیوند شاید

English translation

The son told him that a wife is for this purpose That a worthy child may come into existence For when someone has an only child His good name will remain eternally If my child becomes aware He will be my intercessor tomorrow When a virtuous child appears One can be a buyer for him with a hundred souls Everyone needs such a child Such a connection is fitting for my child
