A pregnant cat is sleeping on her lap | And slowly snores. | The Shirin's image north of the garden | Is hanging on an apple tree | Khosrow, in love with another mistress, mockingly mutters | How can the eye in this image | Show the trace of lover breathing eye of Shirin?...?? | For a moment Khosrow beats at the bow and says | Shirin's eye is a good target, I have ordained | That this new bow should be tried on it. | Khosrow, the king of the world | The master of archers | Pulled out an arrow from his quiver. | This Parthian arrow, this nimble flying hawk | Is familiar with the bow and the thumb. | A spark rose from Mount Bistoun | Was it the lightening from Farhad's ax? | An angry flame is blazing in the image's eye | The loud uproar | The loud clamor of Farhad's heart | Is robing sleep from the cat's eye.
