How the tailor said to the Turk, “Hey, hold your tongue: if I tell any more funny stories the coat will be (too) tight for you.”
گفت درزی ای طواشی بر گذر
وای بر تو گر کنم لاغی دگر
The tailor said, ‘Begone, unmanly fellow! Woe to you if I make another jest;
پس قبایت تنگ آید باز پس
این کند با خویشتن خود هیچ کس
(For) then, after that, the coat will be (too) tight for you: does any one practice this (fraud) on himself?
خندهٔ چه رمزی ار دانستیی
تو به جای خنده خون بگرستیی
What laughter (is this)? If you had an inkling (of the truth), instead of laughing you would weep (tears of) blood.’
