Original content

این بگفتند و روان گشتند زود
هر چه بود ای یار من آن لحظه بود

صبر بگزیدند و صدیقین شدند
بعد از آن سوی بلاد چین شدند

والدین و ملک را بگذاشتند
راه معشوق نهان بر داشتند

هم چو ابراهیم ادهم از سریر
عشقشان بی پا و سر کرد و فقیر

یا چو ابراهیم مرسل سرخوشی
خویش را افکند اندر آتشی

یا چو اسمعیل صبار مجید
پیش عشق و خنجرش حلقی کشید

English translation

They said this and quickly set off; Whatever happened, O my friend, was in that moment. They chose patience and became truthful ones; After that, they departed toward the lands of China. They abandoned their parents and kingdom; They took the path of the hidden beloved. Like Ibrahim Adham from his throne, Love made them headless, footless, and impoverished. Or like the joyful messenger Ibrahim (Abraham), Who threw himself into a fire. Or like Ismail (Ishmael), the patient and glorious, Who stretched his throat before Love and its dagger.
