Original content

می زند شیخ ما ز شور و شغب
صیحه صبحگاه و هی هی شب

حزب اوراد صبح می خواند
خویش را حزب حق همی داند

سر پر از کبر و دل پر از اعجاب
روی در خلق و پشت بر محراب

صف زده گردش از خران گله ای
درفکنده به شهر ولوله ای

چیست این شیخ ذکر می گوید
لوث غفلت به ذکر می شوید

ناگهان مردکی دوید از در
کرده در گوش شیخ و یاران سر

که فلان خواجه یا امیر رسید
حضرت شیخ را محب و مرید

شیخ و اصحاب ز دست شدند
از شراب غرور مست شدند

ذکر را شد چنان بلند آهنگ
که از آن مردم آمدند به تنگ

گشت خشک از فغان سقف شکاف
ذاکران را درون ز لب تا ناف

آن یکی بر دهان کف آورده
وز کف خود طپانچه ها خورده

وان دگر جیب خرقه چاک زده
دمبدم آه دردناک زده

وان دگر یک به های های دروغ
کرده آغاز گریه های دروغ

گفته هر کس که دیده آن گریه
هذه فریت بلا مریت

خنکی چند کرده خود را گرم
نه ز خالق نه از خلایق شرم

شیخ چون ذکر را فرو آرد
رو به میدان گفت و گو آرد

سخن از کشف راند و الهام
فرق گوید میان حال و مقام

سر تجرید و نکته توحید
گوید اما مشوب با تقلید

او ز تحقیق دم زند اما
رسم تقلید سازدش رسوا

English translation

Our Sheikh, out of clamor and commotion, strikes up A morning cry and a nighttime shout. He recites the litanies of the morning party, He considers himself the party of Truth. His head full of arrogance and his heart full of conceit, His face towards the people and his back to the prayer niche. A herd of donkeys has lined up around him, Casting an uproar into the city. What is this? The Sheikh is reciting dhikr, Washing away the pollution of heedlessness with dhikr. Suddenly, a little man ran through the door, Putting his head to the ear of the Sheikh and his companions, Saying that a certain master or emir has arrived, A lover and disciple of his eminence the Sheikh. The Sheikh and his companions lost control, They became drunk from the wine of pride. The dhikr took on such a loud tone, That the people were distressed by it. Their insides, from lip to navel, became dry From the roof-splitting wails of the reciters of dhikr. That one brought foam to his mouth, And slapped himself with his own hand. And the other one tore the collar of his cloak, Heaving painful sighs at every moment. And another one, with false weeping and wailing, Started to shed fake tears. Anyone who saw that weeping said: 'This is a lie without a doubt.' A few cold ones have made themselves hot, Having no shame before the Creator nor before the creations. When the Sheikh brings the dhikr to a close, He turns to the arena of discourse. He speaks of unveiling and inspiration, He tells the difference between state and station. The secret of detachment and the point of monotheism, He speaks of, but mixed with imitation. He boasts of true realization, but The custom of imitation exposes him to disgrace.
