Couplet 322-325


روز کے چندے سخن کوتاہ کرد

Parrot stopped talking for few days



مردِ بُقّال از ندامد آہ کرد


Greengrocer was repentant and remorseful

رِیش برمی کند دمی گفت اے دریغ

He started plucking his beard i.e. remorsing



کافتابِ نعمتم شد زیرِ میغ


And saying that sun of my fate got hidden behind the cloud

دستِ من بشکستہ بودے از زماں

Thinking had my hand got broken at that time



کہ زدم من بر سرِ آں خوش زباں


When I hit the head of that good voiced bird

ہدیہ ہامی داد ہر درویش را

He used to give gifts to every dervish



تا بیابد نطقِ مرغِ خویش را


So that he could be able to get the voice of parrot back




                      The parrot did not speak to him for some days and the owner was very sad and remorsing a lot and was feeling that the beauty of his shop has gone, like the sun comes under the cloud.  Why did not my hand broken when I had hit the parrot. He was gifting to beggars and others in order to get the voice of his parrot back.
