ناگہانی جولقی می گذشت
Suddenly,
a dervish wearing a quilt was passing over there
با سَرِ بے مُو چو پشتِ طاس و طشت
His head was free of hairs like the back of a big saucer
طوطی اندر گفت آمد آں زماں
Seeing
him, Parrot started talking
بانگ بر رویش زدہ چوں عاقلاں
Called him and questioned him like an intelligent fellow
کز چہ اے کلْ با کَلاں آمیختی
Parrot
said, O’ bald man! Why did you be in amongst hairless
نو مگر از شیشہ روغن ریختی
Perhaps, you too have broken bottles of oil
از قیاسش خندہ آند
خلق را
On
its thinking, people around started laughing
کُو چو خود پند اشت صاحب دلق را
As it understood dervish with quilt like its own
After
three days, the owner was sitting in a sad mood, a dervish, who was wearing the
patched garment who was completely bald and the head was shining, moved in
front of his shop. Seeing him, the parrot suddenly started speaking called him
“O’ bald man! why have you been in the group of balds. It seems that you had also
spilled oil somewhere”. The people around there burst into laughter knowing
that this parrot is comparing itself with the dervish, being both of them bald.
