Original content

بود مجنونی به نیشابور در
زو ندیدم در جهان رنجورتر

محنت و بیماری ده ساله داشت
تن چو نالی و زفان بی ناله داشت

سینه پر سوز و دل پر درد او
لب بخون برهم بسی میخورد او

آنچه در سرما و در گرما کشید
کی تواند کوه آن تنها کشید

نور از رویش بگردون میشدی
هر نفس حالش دگرگون میشدی

زو بپرسیدم من آشفته کار
کاین جنونت از کجا شد آشکار

گفت یک روزی درآمد آفتاب
درگلویم رفت و من گشتم خراب

خویشتن را کرده ام زان روز گم
گم شود هر دو جهان زان سوز گم

بر سر او رفت در وقت وفات
نیک مردی گفتش ای پاکیزه ذات

این زمان چونی که جان خواهی سپرد
گفت آنگه تو چه دانی و بمرد

گر ز کار افتادگی گویم بسی
تا نیفتد کار کی داند کسی

English translation

There was a madman in Nishapur, I saw no one more afflicted than him in the world. He had ten years of suffering and sickness, His body like a hollow reed and his tongue without complaint. His chest was full of burning, his heart full of pain, And he would bite his bloody lips together. What he suffered in cold and heat, How could a mountain bear that alone? Light rose from his face to the heavens, And with every breath, his state changed. I, a perplexed seeker, asked him: 'From where did this madness of yours become manifest?' He said: 'One day the sun arose, It went down my throat, and I was ruined. Since that day I have lost myself; Both worlds are lost in that burning.' At the moment of his death, a good man came to him And said: 'O pure soul, How are you now that you are about to surrender your soul?' He replied: 'What do you know of that?' and died. Even if I speak much of this helplessness, Until it happens to someone, how can anyone know?
