موج می‌زد در دلش عفو گنه ** که ز هر دل تا دل آمد روزنه

موج می‌زد در دلش عفو گنه ** که ز هر دل تا دل آمد روزنه 4390

Forgiveness of the sin was surging in his heart, for as much as there is a window from each heart to (every other) heart;

که ز دل تا دل یقین روزن بود ** نه جدا و دور چون دو تن بود

For assuredly there is a window from heart to heart: they are not separate and far (from each other), like two bodies.

متصل نبود سفال دو چراغ ** نورشان ممزوج باشد در مساغ

The earthenware (basins) of two lamps are not joined, but their light is mingled in (its) passage.

هیچ عاشق خود نباشد وصل‌جو ** که نه معشوقش بود جویای او

No lover, in sooth, is seeking union without his loved one seeking him;

لیک عشق عاشقان تن زه کند ** عشق معشوقان خوش و فربه کند

But the love of lovers makes the body (thin as) a bowstring, (while) the love of loved ones makes it comely and fat.

چون درین دل برق مهر دوست جست ** اندر آن دل دوستی می‌دان که هست 4395

When the lightning of love for the beloved has shot into this heart, know that there is love in that heart.

در دل تو مهر حق چون شد دوتو ** هست حق را بی گمانی مهر تو

When love for God has been doubled in thy heart, without any doubt God hath love for thee.

هیچ بانگ کف زدن ناید بدر ** از یکی دست تو بی دستی دگر

No sound of clapping comes forth from one hand of thine without the other hand.

تشنه می‌نالد که ای آب گوار ** آب هم نالد که کو آن آب‌خوار

The thirsty man is moaning, “O delicious water!” The water moans too, saying, “Where is the water-drinker?”

جذب آبست این عطش در جان ما ** ما از آن او و او هم آن ما

This thirst in our souls is the attraction exerted by the Water: we are Its, and It is ours.
