Number 6

Yesterday a fellow was spilling his seed out onto the field, muttering to himself, and this thought kept turning in his mind: Since sin is bound to happen anyway, better to spend it in a clean hand than in a filthy backside.
Explanation: This is a bawdy, satirical epigram. The crude joke contrasts masturbation with sodomy as two forms of transgression.

دی مردکی آبِ پشت می‌‌ریخت به دشت می‌‌گفت و از این حدیث می ‌درنگذشت
‌باری چو گناهکار می‌‌باید بود ‌هم در کفِ پاک بِه که در کونِ پَلَشت
