Couplet 331-334

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.
