پیشِ یکی از مشایخ گله کردم که: فلان به فَسادِ من گواهی داده است.
گفتا: به صَلاحش خجل کن!
تو نیکو روِش باش تا بَدسگال
به نقصِ تو گفتن نیابد مَجال
چو آهنگِ بربَط بود مستقیم
کی از دستِ مطرب خورد گوشمال؟
I complained to one of the sheikhs that a certain man had falsely accused me of lasciviousness. He replied: ‘Put him to shame by thy good conduct.’
Be thou well behaved that a maligner May not find occasion to speak of thy faults. When the harp is in proper tune How can the hand of the musician correct it?
