بامریدان شیخی از راه دراز
آسیا سنگی همی آورد باز

از قضا بشکست آن سنگ گران
شیخ را حالت پدید آمد بر آن

جملهٔ اصحاب گفتند ای عجب
جان ازین کندیم ما در روز و شب

هم زر و هم رنج ما ضایع بماند
خود مگیر این آسیا ضایع بماند

این چه جای حالتست آخر بگوی
ما نمیدانیم این ظاهر بگوی

شیخ گفت این سنگ ازان این جا شکست
تا زسرگردانی بسیار رست

گر نبودی این شکستش اندکی
روز و شب سرگشته بودی بیشکی

چون شکستی آمد او را آشکار
دایما آرام یافت آن بیقرار

چون ز سنگ این حالتم معلوم گشت
حالی از سنگم دلی چون موم گشت

چون بگوش دل شنیدم راز از او
اوفتاد این حالتم آغاز از او

هرکرا سرگشتگی پیوسته شد
چون شکست آورد کلی رسته شد

هرکه او سرگشته و حیران بماند
درد او جاوید بیدرمان بماند

از همه کار جهان نومید شد
کار او خون خوردن جاوید شد

English translation

With disciples, a Shaykh from a long road Was bringing back a millstone. By chance, that heavy stone broke, And a spiritual state came upon the Shaykh over that. All the companions said, "Oh wonder! We exhausted our souls over this, day and night. Both our gold and our toil went to waste; Leave aside that this millstone went to waste. What place is this for a spiritual state, after all? Tell us. We do not understand this, tell us plainly." The Shaykh said, "This stone broke here So that it could be delivered from so much wandering (spinning). If it had not suffered this small breakage, It would have been spinning day and night, without a doubt. Since breakage clearly came to it, That restless one found eternal peace. When this state became known to me from the stone, At once, my heart of stone became like wax. When I heard its secret with the ear of the heart, This state of mine originated from it. Whoever's wandering was continuous, When breakage came, they were completely delivered. Whoever remains wandering and bewildered, Their pain remains eternally incurable. They become devoid of hope in all worldly affairs, And their lot becomes eternally suffering (drinking blood)."
