گفتار معشوق طوسی (محمد) با مریدش / The Discourse of the Beloved of Tus (Muhammad) with His Disciple

Original content

یک شبی معشوق طوس، آن بحر راز
با مریدی گفت دایم در گداز

تا چو اندر عشق بگدازی تمام
پس شوی از ضعف چون مویی مدام

چون شود شخص تو چون مویی نزار
جایگاهی سازدت در زلف یار

هرک چون مویی شود در کوی او
بی شک او مویی شود در موی او

گر تو هستی راه بین و دیده ور
موی در موی این چنین بین درنگر

گر سر مویی بماند از خودیت
هفت دوزخ سر برآید از بدیت

English translation

One night, the Beloved of Tus, that ocean of secrets, Said to a disciple who was constantly in melting devotion: 'Until you melt completely in love, And through weakness constantly become thin as a hair; When your body becomes as thin as a hair, It will make a place for you in the beloved's tress. Whoever becomes like a hair in the beloved's lane, Undoubtedly, he becomes a hair within the beloved's hair. If you are a way-seer and possess vision, Behold and look at hair in hair in this manner. If even a hair's breadth of your selfhood remains, Seven hells will arise from your wretchedness.'
