Original content

آب بسیار آن یکی در شیر کرد
حق تعالی گاو را تقدیر کرد

چون بیامد سر بسوی آب برد
تا که دم زد گاو را سیلاب برد

هرچه او صد باره گرد آورده بود
جمله در یکبار آبش برده بود

آب چون بر شیر بیش از پیش کرد
جمع کرد و گاه را در پیش کرد

هرکه او یکدم ز مرگ اندیشه داشت
چون تواند ظلم کردن پیشه داشت

چون براندیشم ز مردن گاه گاه
عالمم بر چشم میگردد سیاه

لیک وقتی هست کز شادی مرگ
پای میکوبم ز سر سبزی چو برگ

زانکه میدانم که آخر جان پاک
باز خواهد رست از زندان خاک

English translation

A certain man mixed a lot of water into his milk, God Almighty decreed a fate for his cow. When she came and lowered her head to the water, In an instant, a flood carried the cow away. Whatever he had gathered a hundred times over, The water carried it all away at once. Since he added more water to the milk than before, It gathered and drove the cow before it. Whoever holds the thought of death for even a moment, How could they make oppression their profession? When I think of dying from time to time, The world turns black before my eyes. But there is a time when, from the joy of death, I dance, as vibrant as a green leaf. Because I know that in the end, the pure soul Will once again be freed from the prison of earth.
