پر زنان بار دگر در وقت شام ** می‌پرند از عشق آن ایوان و بام

Once more, at eventide, flapping their wings they fly off in passionate longing for that palace and roof.

تا که از تن تار وصلت بسکلند ** پیش تو آیند کز تو مقبلند 4180

In order that they may snap the thread that unites them with the body, they come before Thee, for by Thee they are endowed with fortune—

پر زنان آمن ز رجع سرنگون ** در هوا که انا الیه راجعون

Flapping their wings, secure from falling back headlong, (soaring) in the (spiritual) air and saying, “Verily unto Him we are returning.”

بانگ می‌آید تعالوا زان کرم ** بعد از آن رجعت نماند از حرص و غم

From that Bounty comes the call, “Come! After that returning (unto Me) desire and anxiety are no more.

بس غریبیها کشیدیت از جهان ** قدر من دانسته باشید ای مهان

As exiles in the world ye suffered many indignities: ye will have learned to value Me, O nobles.

زیر سایه‌ی این درختم مست ناز ** هین بیندازید پاها را دراز

Hark now, stretch your legs beneath the shade of this tree of Mine in the intoxication of delight,

پایهای پر عنا از راه دین ** بر کنار و دست حوران خالدین 4185

(Stretch) your legs, (which are) fatigued by (travel on) the Way of Religion, resting for ever on the bosoms and hands of the houris,

حوریان گشته مغمز مهربان ** کز سفر باز آمدند این صوفیان

(While) the houris amorously and fondly say, ‘These Súfís have returned from their travels.

صوفیان صافیان چون نور خور ** مدتی افتاده بر خاک و قذر

The Súfís pure as the light of the sun, who for a long time had fallen into (the world of) earth and filth,

بی‌اثر پاک از قذر باز آمدند ** هم‌چو نور خور سوی قرص بلند

Have (now) come back stainless and undefiled, as the sunlight to the lofty orb (of the sun).’”
