هر که را دل به عدل شد مایلطمع از مال خلق گو بگسل
Whoever's heart becomes inclined toward justice,
Tell them to sever greed for the wealth of the people.
طمع و عدل آتش و آبندهر دو یکجا قرار کی یابند
Greed and justice are fire and water,
When will they ever settle in one place?
چون بکوبد طمع در مسکنعدل بیرون گریزد از روزن
When greed knocks on the door of the dwelling,
Justice flees out the window.
از طمع چون بود گدا را ننگکی سزد شاه را به آن آهنگ
Since greed is a disgrace for a beggar,
How can such an inclination befit a king?
حیف باشد ز شاه فرخ فرظلم جویی پی زر و زیور
It is a pity for a king of auspicious glory,
To seek oppression in pursuit of gold and ornaments.
زیور شاه وصف شاهی بسگو مده دل به زر و زیور کس
The ornament of a king is simply the attribute of kingship,
Tell him not to give his heart to anyone's gold and ornaments.
