Translate the following passage into Persian :— The Vizier said to the durwaish, "When the monarch of the terrestrial globe passed by you, why did not you do him homage, nor behave even with common good manners?" He replied, "Tell the monarch of the earth to expect service from him, who hopes to receive benefits, and let him know also, that the monarch is for the protection of his subjects, and not the subjects for the service of the king. The king is the sentinel of the poor, although affluence, pomp, and power are his portion. The sheep are not for the shepherd, but the shepherd is for their service. Today you will see one prosperous, and another labouring under an afflicted heart: wait only a few days, when the earth will consume the brains of the vain thinker. The difference between royalty and servitude ceases when the decrees of fate are fulfilled. If any one should open the grave, he could not distinguish the rich man from the poor." This speech of the durwaish made a favourable impression on the king, who commanded him to make known his wishes. He replied, "I desire you not to trouble me again."
