| But yet there was a lady P r ndukht | B |
| Surviving of the lineage of S s n | C |
| And well read in the royal volume her | D |
| They seated on the throne of sovereignty | B |
| The Great strewed jewels over her and then | C |
| She spake upon this wise 'I will not have | E |
| The people scattered and I will enrich | F |
| The poor with treasure that they may not bide | B |
| In their distress God grant that in the world | B |
| There may be none aggrieved because his pain | G |
| Is my calamity I will expel | H |

| She made search for Pir z son of Khusrau | D |
| Who was delated by an alien | J |
| Whereat she chose some warriors from the host | B |
| Who brought Pir z before her She exclaimed | B |
| 'Foul purposed miscreant thou shalt receive | K |
| As infamous the guerdon for thy deeds ' | - |

| She bade bring from the stalls a colt unbroken | J |
| And bound firm as a rock Pir z thereto | B |
| Without a saddle and with yoke on neck | L |
| The vengeful lady had that untamed steed | B |
| Brought to the riding ground and thither sent | B |
| With lassos coiled up in their saddle straps | M |
| A band of warriors to urge the colt | B |
| To utmost speed to strive from time to time | N |
| To throw Pir z and ever roll itself | O |
| Upon the ground That colt won much applause | P |
| Until with skin in shreds and dripping blood | B |
| Pir z gave up the ghost right wretchedly | B |
| Why having done wrong seekest thou for justice | Q |
| Nay ill for ill that is the course of right | B |
| - | |
| P r ndukht ruled the world with gentleness | Q |
| No wind from heaven blew upon the dust | B |
| But when six months had passed beneath her sway | R |
| The circle of her life bent suddenly | B |
| For one week she was ailing then expired | B |
| And took away with her a fair renown | S |
| Such is the process of the turning sky | T |
| So potent while so impotent are we | B |
| - | |
| If thine be opulence or poverty | B |
| If life affordeth gain or loss to thee | B |
| If thou shalt win what thou desirest so | U |
| Or disappointed be in wretchedness | U |
| And whether thou be one of wealth or woe | U |
| Both woe and wealth will pass away no less | U |
| Reign as a Sh h a thousand years five score | D |
| For sixty years or thirty ten or four | D |
| It cometh to one thing when all is done | J |
| If thou hadst many years or barely one | J |
| Oh may thine actions thine own comrades be | B |
| For they in every place will succour thee | B |
| Let go thy clutch upon this Wayside Inn | V |
| Because a goodlier place is thine to win | V |
| If thine endeavour be to learning given | J |
| Thou wilt by knowledge roam revolving heaven | J |
