Original content

مالک دینار شب بیدار بود
روز نیز از سوز دل در کار بود

چون بروز آورد شبهای دراز
همچو شبها در گرفت از روز باز

روز و شب صبر وقرارش رفته بود
این چنین کس چون تواند خفته بود

دختری بودش جگر سوز از پدر
گفت آخر شب بخفت و غم مخور

خلق خفته جمله تو چون کوکبی
از چه معنی مینخفتی یک شبی

گفت خفتن نیست درمان پدر
کز شبیخون ترسم ای جان پدر

خواب اگر در شارع سیلی بود
چون شوی بیدار واویلی بود

می ندانم کاین چه مردان بوده اند
کز عمل یک دم نمی آسوده اند

گر ترا یک دم غم ایشانستی
تا ابد درد تو بی درمانستی

درد ایشان نیست از کسب و عطاست
کی چنان دردی شود از کسب راست

English translation

Malik Dinar was awake throughout the night, During the day, too, he was at work with a burning heart. When he brought the long nights into day, Just like the nights, he resumed burning in the day. Day and night, his patience and rest were gone, How could such a person have slept? He had a daughter whose heart burned for her father; She said, "At last, sleep at night and do not grieve! The people are all asleep, you are like a star; For what reason do you not sleep a single night?" He said, "Sleeping is not your father's cure, For I fear a night ambush, O soul of your father! If one sleeps in the path of a flood, When he wakes, there will be wailing! I do not know what kind of men they were, Who did not rest for a single moment from action. If you had but a moment's sorrow for them, Your pain would be incurable until eternity. Their pain is not from acquisition; it is a bestowal, How could such a pain be truly attained from acquisition?"
