Toggle stanza 1گفت داودش خمش کن رو بهل
David said to him, “Be silent! Go, abandon (your claim), and acquit this Moslem of (responsibility for) your cow.
Inasmuch as God has thrown a veil over you (concealed your guilt), O youth, depart and keep silence and acknowledge the obligation of (giving thanks to God for His) concealment.”
He cried, “Oh, woe is me! What judgement is this, what justice? Wilt thou establish a new law on my account?
The fame of thy justice has gone so far that earth and heaven have become fragrant (with the scent thereof).
This wrong has never been done (even) to blind dogs; rock and mountain are burst asunder of a sudden by this iniquity.”
In such fashion was he uttering reproaches publicly, crying, “Hark ye, ‘tis the time of injustice, hark ye!”
