Original content

عاشقی روزی مگر خون میگریست
زو کسی پرسید کاین گریه ز چیست

گفت میگویند فردا کردگار
چون کند تشریف رؤیت آشکار

چل هزاران ساله بدهد بر دوام
خاصگان قرب خود را بار عام

یک زمان زانجا بخود آیند باز
در نیاز افتند خو کرده بناز

زان همی گریم که با خویشم دهند
یک نفس در دیدهٔ خویشم نهند

چون کنم آن یک نفس با خویشتن
میتوانم کشت ازین غم خویش من

باخدا باشم چو بیخود بینیم
تاکه با خود بینیم بد بینیم

آن زمان کز خود رهائی باشدم
بیخودی عین خدائی باشدم

هر که موئی پای آرد در میان
باز ماند یک سر موی از عیان

محو باید مرد در هر دو سرای
پای از سر ناپدید و سر ز پای

گر سر موئی تفاوت میبود
جمله سر تاپای او بت میبود

English translation

A lover, one day, was weeping tears of blood, Someone asked him, 'What is this crying for?' He said, 'They say tomorrow the Creator, When He makes the honor of His vision manifest, Will grant for forty thousand continuous years A public audience to the elect of His proximity. For one moment they will return to themselves from there, They will fall into need, having been accustomed to grace. I weep for that reason: that they might leave me to myself, And for one breath place me in my own sight. What will I do for that one breath with myself? I could kill myself from this sorrow! I am with God when I see myself as selfless, As long as I see myself with a self, I see poorly. That time when I have liberation from myself, Selflessness will be the essence of godliness for me. Whoever brings a hair's breadth of self into the middle, Will remain a hair's breadth away from the clear vision. A man must be effaced in both worlds, Foot invisible from head, and head from foot. If there were a hair's breadth of differentiation, His entire being from head to foot would be an idol.'
