Original content

سر مقصود را مراقبه کن
نقد اوقات را محاسبه کن

باش در هر نفس ز اهل شعور
که به غفلت گذشت یا به حضور

هر چه جز حق ز لوح دل بتراش
بگذر از خلق و جمله حق را باش

رخت همت به خطه جان کش
بر رخ غیر خط نسیان کش

در همه شغل باش واقف دل
تا نگردد ز شغل خود غافل

دل تو بیضه است ناسوتی
حامل شاهباز لاهوتی

گر ازو تربیت نگیری باز
آید آن شاهباز در پرواز

ور تو در تربیت کنی تقصیر
گردد از این و آن فساد پذیر

تربیت چیست آنکه بیگه و گاه
داریش از نظر به غیر نگاه

بگسلی خویش از هوا و هوس
روی او در خدای داری و بس

English translation

Contemplate the secret of the goal, Reckon the cash of your moments. In every breath, be among the people of awareness, Whether it passed in negligence or in presence. Scrape away whatever is other than the Truth from the tablet of the heart, Pass beyond the creation and belong entirely to the Truth. Move the baggage of aspiration to the realm of the soul, Draw the line of oblivion across the face of the other. In every occupation, keep your heart aware, So it does not become negligent of its own task. Your heart is an egg of the material world, Carrying the royal falcon of the divine world. If you do not take to nurturing it, again That royal falcon will take flight. And if you fall short in nurturing it, It will become corrupted by this and that. What is nurturing? It is that at all times, You keep it from looking at the other; You break yourself away from whims and desires, And keep its face directed only toward God, and that is all.
