تو چنان دانی که این آسان بودبلکه کمتر چیز ترک جان بود
Do you think that this is easy?
Rather, the least thing is to give up one's life.
چند گویم چون دگر گفتم نماندگر گلی کز شاخ می رفتم نماند
How long shall I speak when no words are left to me?
If there was a rose I plucked from the branch, none remains.
کشتهٔ حیرت شدم یک بارگیمی ندانم چاره جز بی چارگی
I have been slain by bewilderment all at once;
I know of no remedy except helplessness.
ای خرد در راه تو طفلی بشیرگم شده در جست و جویت عقل پیر
O Lord, in Thy path intellect is but a suckling babe;
and the aged wisdom is lost in seeking Thee.
در چنان ذاتی من آنگه کی رسم؟از زعم من در منزه کی رسم؟
How then can I reach such an Essence?
From my own presumption, how can I reach the Holy One?
نه تو در علم آیی و نه در عیاننی زیان و سودی از سود و زیان
Neither do You enter into knowledge nor into sight;
nor is there any loss or gain to You from profit and loss.
نه ز موسی هرگزت سودی رسدنه ز فرعونت زیان بودی رسد
No benefit ever reaches You from Moses,
nor does any harm come to You from Pharaoh.
ای خدای بی نهایت! جز تو کیست؟چون تویی بی حد و غایت جز تو چیست؟
O infinite God! Who is there besides You?
Since You are limitless and endless, what exists besides You?
هیچ چیز از بی نهایت بی شکیچون به سر ناید کجا ماند یکی؟
Since nothing from infinity, without a doubt,
can ever come to an end, where does the One remain?
ای جهانی خلق حیران ماندهتو به زیر پرده پنهان مانده
O You, while a world of creation remains bewildered,
You remain hidden beneath the veil.
پرده برگیر آخر و جانم مسوزبیش ازین در پرده پنهانم مسوز
Lift the veil at last and burn not my soul;
do not burn me any longer, hidden behind the veil.
گم شدم در بحر حیرت ناگهانزین همه سرگشتگی بازم رهان
Suddenly I was lost in the ocean of bewilderment;
rescue me from all this wandering.
در میان بحر، گردون مانده اموز درون پرده بیرون مانده ام
I have remained like a vessel in the midst of the sea;
and I have been left outside the inner veil.
بنده را زین بحر نامحرم برآرتو درافکندی مرا تو هم برآر
Bring Your servant out of this unfamiliar ocean;
You cast me into it, and You must also pull me out.
نفس من بگرفت سر تا پای منگر نگیری دست من، ای وای من
My carnal self has seized me from head to foot;
if You do not hold my hand, woe unto me!
جانم آلودست از بیهودگیمن ندارم طاقت آلودگی
My soul is polluted by vanity;
I have no tolerance for pollution.
یا ازین آلودگی پاکم بکنیا نه در خونم کش و خاکم بکن
Either cleanse me of this pollution,
or else draw me in my own blood and turn me to dust.
خلق ترسند از تو من ترسم ز خودکز تو نیکو دیده ام از خویش بد
People fear You, but I fear myself;
for I have seen only good from You, and only evil from myself.
مرده ای ام می روم بر روی خاکزنده گردان جانم ای جان بخش پاک
I am a corpse walking upon the earth;
revive my soul, O holy Giver of life.
مؤمن و کافر به خون آغشته اندیا همه سرگشته یا برگشته اند
Believer and infidel alike are stained with blood;
they are either completely bewildered or have turned away.
گر بخوانی این بود سرگشتگیور برانی این بود برگشتگی
If You call them, it is bewilderment;
and if You reject them, it is turning away.
پادشاها! دل به خون آغشته امپای تا سر چون فلک سرگشته ام
O King! My heart is stained with blood;
from head to toe, I am wandering like the heavens.
گفته ای من با شما ام روز و شبیک نفس فارغ مباشید از طلب
You have said: 'I am with you day and night;
do not be free from seeking for a single breath.'
چون چنین با یکدگر همسایه ایمتو چو خورشیدی و ما هم سایه ایم
Since we are neighbors in this manner,
You are like the sun and we are like shadows.
چه بود ای معطی بی سرمایگانگر نگه داری حق همسایگان
What would it be, O Giver of the poor,
if You were to safeguard the rights of the neighbors?
با دلی پر درد و جانی با دریغز اشتیاقت اشک می بارم چو میغ
With a heart full of pain and a soul full of regret,
I shed tears like a cloud out of longing for You.
گر دریغ خویش برگویم تو راگم بباشم تا به کی جویم تو را
If I express my regret to You, I shall be lost;
how long must I seek You?
رهبرم شو زان که گمراه آمدمدولتم ده گر چه بی گاه آمدم
Be my guide, for I have come lost;
grant me fortune, even though I have come late.
هر که در کوی تو دولت یار شددر تو گم گشت و ز خود بیزار شد
Whoever found fortune as a friend in Your lane,
became lost in You and weary of himself.
نیستم نومید و هستم بی قراربوک درگیرد یکی از صد هزار
I am not hopeless, yet I am restless;
perhaps one in a hundred thousand will find favor.
