خود رها کن لشکر دیو و پری ** کز میان جان کنندم صفدری

“Let alone the army of demons and genies who, (devoted to me) from the core of their hearts, cleave the ranks (of my enemies) for me.

ملک را بگذار بلقیس از نخست ** چون مرا یابی همه ملک آن تست

First, O Bilqís relinquish thy kingdom: when thou gainest me, all the kingdom is thine.

خود بدانی چون بر من آمدی ** که تو بی من نقش گرمابه بدی 800

When thou hast come to me, thou thyself wilt know that without me thou wert (as) a picture in the bath-house.”

نقش اگر خود نقش سلطان یا غنیست ** صورتست از جان خود بی چاشنیست

Even if the picture be the picture of a sultan or a rich man, it is a (mere) form: it has no savour (consciousness) of its own spirit.

زینت او از برای دیگران ** باز کرده بیهده چشم و دهان

Its beauty is for others: its eyes and mouth are open in vain.

ای تو در بیگار خود را باخته ** دیگران را تو ز خود نشناخته

O you who have devoted yourself (to contending with others) in strife, you have not known (discriminated) others from your self.

تو به هر صورت که آیی بیستی ** که منم این والله آن تو نیستی

You stop at every form that you come to, saying, “I am this.” By God, you are not that (form).

یک زمان تنها بمانی تو ز خلق ** در غم و اندیشه مانی تا به حلق 805

(If) you are left alone by people for a single moment, you remain (plunged) up to the throat in grief and anxiety.

این تو کی باشی که تو آن اوحدی ** که خوش و زیبا و سرمست خودی

How are you this (form)? You are that Unique One, for (in reality) you are fair and lovely and intoxicated with yourself.

مرغ خویشی صید خویشی دام خویش ** صدر خویشی فرش خویشی بام خویش

You are your own bird your own prey, and your own snare; you are your own seat of honour, your own floor, and your own root.
