Original content

بود آن دیوانهٔ در اضطرار
در مناجاتی شبی میگفت زار

کای خدا از تو نخواهم هیچ من
یا دهی یا ندهیم بشنو سخن

سخت در خود مانده ام جان در خطر
تا که از من این چه دادی واببر

این وجودم را که داری در زحیر
مینخواهم هیچ میگویم بگیر

هرچه از دیوانه آید در وجود
عفو فرمایند از دیوان جود

گرچه نبود نیک بپذیرند ازو
پس بچیزی نیک بر گیرند ازو

هر بد او را مراعاتی کنند
از نکو وجهی مکافاتی کنند

English translation

There was a madman in a state of distress, One night in supplication, he wept bitterly, Saying, 'O God, I want nothing from You, Whether You give or do not give to me, hear my words. I am severely stuck within myself, my life in danger, So take back from me whatever You have given. This existence of mine, which You keep in torment, I do not want at all, I say, take it away! Whatever comes into existence from a madman, They pardon from the court of generosity. Although it is not good, they accept it from him, And they receive it from him as something good. They make allowances for his every wrong, And reward him in a beautiful manner.'
