دزديدن مارگير ماری را از مارگير ديگر
135 دزدکی از مارگيری مار برد
ز ابلهی آنرا غنيمت می شمرد
136 وا رهيد آن مارگير از زخم مار
مار کُشت آن دزد اورا زار زار
137 مارگيرش ديد پس بشناختش
گفت از جان مار من پرداختش
138 در دعا میخواستی جانم ازو
کش بيابم مار بستانم ازو
139 شکر حق را کآن دعا مردود شد
من زيان پنداشتم وآن سود شد
140 بس دعاها کآن زیانست و هلاک
وز کرم مینشنود یزدان پاک

How
a
snake-catcher
stole
a
snake
from
another
snake-catcher
135 A petty thief carried off a snake from a snake-catcher
and in his folly was accounting it a prize .
136 The snake-catcher escaped from the snake’s bite ;
the man who had robbed him was miserably killed by the snake .
137 The snake-catcher saw him ( dead ) ; then he recognised him
and said , " My snake has emptied him of life .
138 My soul was desiring of Him ( God ) in prayer
that I might find him and take the snake from him .
139 Thanks to God that that prayer was rejected :
I thought ʼtwas loss , but it has turned out to be gain . "
140 Many are the prayers which are loss and destruction ,
and from kindness the Holy God is not hearing them .
