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).’”

این گروه مجرمان هم ای مجید ** جمله سرهاشان به دیواری رسید

(Ayáz said), “This company of sinners likewise, O glorious (King)—all their heads have come against a wall.

بر خطا و جرم خود واقف شدند ** گرچه مات کعبتین شه بدند 4190

They have become aware of their fault and sin, although they were defeated by the King's two dice.

رو به تو کردند اکنون اه‌کنان ** ای که لطفت مجرمان را ره‌کنان

Now they turn their faces towards thee, uttering cries of lamentation. O thou whose clemency is making way for sinners,

راه ده آلودگان را العجل ** در فرات عفو و عین مغتسل

Speedily grant the defiled ones admission into the Euphrates of (thy) pardon and the fountain (which is) a (cool) washing-place,
