این قضا بر نیک و بد حاکم بود ** بر قضا شاهد نه حاکم می‌شود 2885

ای مشیر ما تو اندر خیر و شر ** از اشارتهات دل‌مان بی‌خبر
O Thou who givest us intimations in weal and woe, (though) our hearts are unaware of Thy intimations,
ای یرانا لانراه روز و شب ** چشم‌بند ما شده دید سبب
O (Lord) who daily and nightly seest us and whom we see not, (our) regarding the secondary cause (instead of the Causer) has muffled our eyes.

O Lord, make our light complete in the plain of Resurrection and deliver us from shameful and overwhelming indignities!
یار شب را روز مهجوری مده ** جان قربت‌دیده را دوری مده

بعد تو مرگیست با درد و نکال ** خاصه بعدی که بود بعد الوصال
Absence from Thee is a grievous and tormenting death, especially the absence that comes after enjoyment of Thy favour.
