طنین جلاجل پالش در قبض ارواح طیور به آواز صور دم مساوات میزد و قیامتی در میان پرندگان صحرا و کوه قایم می گردانید، نقاش چابک دست چین از رشک دقایق نقوش مختلف اندام سیمین او خامهٔ‌ زرین پیکر را سر بشکسته و از غایت حیرت چون صورتهای ایوان بی جان متصور شده، تو گفتی زره داؤدی را پوشیده است و یا دیبای منقش چینی بر خویش کشیده و زمان دیگران مهر سپهر مملکت بر گشتی چون ماه نو سوار شده و بهشست هلال پیکر ماهی را از قعر آب آسمان گون گلو گرفته بیرون می کشید، شعر:

> The ringing of the bells on its wing, in taking the souls of birds, claimed equality with the sound of the Trumpet, and raised a resurrection among the birds of the desert and mountain;  
> the agile-handed painter of China, from envy of the subtleties of the various patterns of its silver body, broke the tip of his golden-formed reed-pen,  
> and from extreme bewilderment became imagined as lifeless figures on a palace hall;  
> you would have said it had put on Davidic mail, or drawn over itself patterned Chinese brocade;  
> and at other times the sun of the sphere of royalty, mounted upon a boat like the new moon, with a crescent-shaped thumb ring  
> he would seize fish by the throat from the depth of the sky-hued water and pull them out. Poetry:
