Original content

آن غریب ممتحن از بیم وام
در ره آمد سوی آن دارالسلام

شد سوی تبریز و کوی گلستان
خفته اومیدش فراز گل ستان

زد ز دارالملک تبریز سنی
بر امیدش روشنی بر روشنی

جانش خندان شد از آن روضهٔ رجال
از نسیم یوسف و مصر وصال

گفت یا حادی انخ لی ناقتی
جاء اسعادی و طارت فاقتی

ابرکی یا ناقتی طاب الامور
ان تبریزا مناخات الصدور

اسرحی یا ناقتی حول الریاض
ان تبریزا لنا نعم المفاض

ساربانا بار بگشا ز اشتران
شهر تبریزست و کوی گلستان

فر فردوسیست این پالیز را
شعشعهٔ عرشیست این تبریز را

هر زمانی نور روح انگیز جان
از فراز عرش بر تبریزیان

چون وثاق محتسب جست آن غریب
خلق گفتندش که بگذشت آن حبیب

او پریر از دار دنیا نقل کرد
مرد و زن از واقعهٔ او روی زرد

رفت آن طاوس عرشی سوی عرش
چون رسید از هاتفانش بوی عرش

سایه اش گرچه پناه خلق بود
در نوردید آفتابش زود زود

راند او کشتی ازین ساحل پریر
گشته بود آن خواجه زین غم خانه سیر

نعره ای زد مرد و بیهوش اوفتاد
گوییا او نیز در پی جان بداد

پس گلاب و آب بر رویش زدند
همرهان بر حالتش گریان شدند

تا به شب بی خویش بود و بعد از آن
نیم مرده بازگشت از غیب جان

English translation

That afflicted stranger, out of fear of debt, set out on the road toward that Abode of Peace. He went toward Tabriz and the street of the rose garden, his hope resting above the rosebed. From the exalted capital of Tabriz struck upon his hope light upon light. His soul became joyous from that garden of men, from the breeze of Joseph and the Egypt of union. He said, 'O camel-driver, make my camel kneel for me; my happiness has come and my poverty has flown away. Kneel, O my camel, things have become good; indeed, Tabriz is the resting place of the eminent. Graze freely, O my camel, around the gardens; indeed, Tabriz is for us an excellent bounty. O camel-driver, untie the load from the camels; it is the city of Tabriz and the street of the rose garden.' This garden has the glory of Paradise; this Tabriz has the radiance of the Divine Throne. At every moment the soul-stirring light of life from above the Throne shines upon the people of Tabriz. When that stranger sought the house of the inspector, the people told him that that beloved had passed away. 'He departed from the abode of the world the day before yesterday; men and women are pale-faced from his passing. That heavenly peacock went toward the Throne, when the scent of the Throne reached him from its unseen callers. Although his shadow was the refuge of the people, his sun rolled it up very quickly. He steered the ship away from this shore the day before yesterday; that master had become satiated with this house of sorrow.' The man let out a cry and fell unconscious, as if he too gave up the ghost following him. Then they sprinkled rosewater and water on his face; his companions wept over his condition. He remained senseless until nightfall, and after that, half-dead, his soul returned from the unseen.
