di kuza-gari ba-didam andar bazar
dī kūza-garī ba-dīdam andar bāzār
bar paara gil-e-hamī lakad zad bisyār
vaañ gil ba-zabān-e-hāl bā uu mī guft
man ham chuuñ tū būda-am marā neko daar
Yesterday I saw a potter in the market, kneading some clay under his feet with unusual force; and the clay spoke to the potter in this expressive language once I was like you, so treat me gently.
di kuza-gari ba-didam andar bazar
bar para gil-e-hami lakad zad bisyar
wan gil ba-zaban-e-haal ba u mi guft
man hum chun tu buda-am mara neko dar
Yesterday I saw a potter in the market, kneading some clay under his feet with unusual force; and the clay spoke to the potter in this expressive language once I was like you, so treat me gently.
