English Translation for Hekayat

Unwavering devotion can bring one down from the throne of kingship and keep another well in the belly of a fish.

It is a pleasant time for the one who finds comfort in Your remembrance,

Even if they are in the belly of a whale like Jonah.

متن حکایت

ارادت بیچون یکی را از تخت شاهی فرو آرد و دیگری را در شکم ماهی نکو دارد.

وقتیست خوش آن را که بود ذکر تو مونس

ور خود بود اندر شکم حوت چو یونس
