Hekayat No. 8: I saw a Bedouin who was saying to his son, O my son...
حکایت شماره ۸: اعرابیی را دیدم که پسر را همی‌گفت یا بنی ...
I saw an Arab who was telling his son: 'O my son, you will be held responsible on the Day of Judgment for what you have earned, and it will not be said whose son you are.'
اعرابیی را دیدم که پسر را همی‌گفت یا بُنَّی اِنَّک مسئولٌ یومَ القیامةِ ماذا اکتَسَبتَ و لا یُقالُ بمن انتسبتَ. یعنی تو را خواهند پرسید که عملت چیست نگویند پدرت کیست.
The cloth of the Kaaba that they kiss
It did not become famous from the silk of the silkworm alone
جامه کعبه را که می بوسند
او نه از کرم پیله نامی شد
It sat with a noble one for a few days
Therefore, it became as honored as he
با عزیزی نشست روزی چند
لاجرم همچنو گرامی شد
