لذت تخصیص تو وقت خطاب ** آن کند که ناید از صد خم شراب
The delight of being elected (singled out) by Thee at the moment of Thy addressing them has an effect that is not produced by a hundred jars of wine.
چونک مستم کردهای حدم مزن ** شرع مستان را نبیند حد زدن
Since Thou hast intoxicated me, do not inflict a penalty: the Law does not see fit to inflict a penalty on the intoxicated.
چون شوم هشیار آنگاهم بزن ** که نخواهم گشت خود هشیار من
Inflict it (only) at the time when I become sober; for indeed I shall never become sober (again).
هرکه از جام تو خورد ای ذوالمنن ** تا ابد رست از هش و از حد زدن
Whoso has drunk of Thy cup, O Gracious One, is for ever delivered from self consciousness and from the infliction of penalties.
خالدین فی فناء سکرهم ** من تفانی فی هواکم لم یقم 4205
Their intoxication consists in a state of unconsciousness of self (faná), (in which they are) abiding for ever: he that passes away from self in love for Thee will not arise.
فضل تو گوید دل ما را که رو ** ای شده در دوغ عشق ما گرو
Thy grace saith to our heart, “Go, O thou who hast become in pawn to the buttermilk of My love.
چون مگس در دوغ ما افتادهای ** تو نهای مست ای مگس تو بادهای
Thou hast fallen, like a gnat, into My buttermilk: O gnat, thou art not intoxicated, thou art the wine (itself).
کرگسان مست از تو گردند ای مگس ** چونک بر بحر عسل رانی فرس
O gnat, the vultures become intoxicated by thee, when thou ridest on the ocean of honey.
کوهها چون ذرهها سرمست تو ** نقطه و پرگار و خط در دست تو
The mountains are tipsy with thee (and dance) like motes; the point and the compass and the line are in thy hand (control).
فتنه که لرزند ازو لرزان تست ** هر گرانقیمت گهر ارزان تست 4210
The torment at which they tremble is trembling at thee: every costly pearl is cheap to thee.”
