Section 27 - A Story: Someone with good deeds and a pleasant nature.

بخش ۲۷ - حکایت: یکی خوب‌کردار خوش‌خوی بود

There was one with good manners and pleasant character

Who would speak kindly to those with bad conduct

یکی خوب‌کردارِ خوش‌خوی بود

که بد‌سیرتان را نکو‌گوی بود

Someone saw in a dream how he passed away

And asked to recount his story and journey

به خوابش کسی دید چون در‌گذشت

که باری حکایت کن از سرگذشت

He opened his mouth with a smile like a blooming flower

And like a nightingale, he began singing with a sweet voice

دهانی به خنده چو گُل باز کرد

چو بلبل به صوتی خوش آغاز کرد

Many hardships were not inflicted upon me

For I never treated anyone with harshness

که بر من نکردند سختی بسی

که من سخت نگرفتمی بر کسی
