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.
چشم من از چشمها بگزیده شد ** تا که در شب آفتابم دیده شد 2890
My eye has been chosen above (all other) eyes, so that the (Divine) Sun was beheld by me in the night (of material existence).
لطف معروف تو بود آن ای بهی ** پس کمال البر فی اتمامه
That was (through) Thy well-known grace, O Beauteous One; and (as the proverb says), ‘The perfection of kindness consists in making it complete.’
یا رب اتمم نورنا فی الساهره ** وانجنا من مفضحات قاهره
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
Do not let Thy night-companion be banished (from Thy presence) in the daytime, do not inflict farness (separation) on the soul that has experienced nearness (union).
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.
آنک دیدستت مکن نادیدهاش ** آب زن بر سبزهی بالیدهاش 2895
Do not put him that hath seen Thee in the position of one that hath not seen (Thee): sprinkle water on his verdure that has sprung up.
من نکردم لا ابالی در روش ** تو مکن هم لاابالی در خلش
I have not acted recklessly (heedlessly) while faring (on Thy Way): do not Thou either act recklessly (ruthlessly) in pricking (inflicting pain upon me).
هین مران از روی خود او را بعید ** آنک او یکباره آن روی تو دید
Oh, do not drive far from Thy face him who once beheld Thy face!
دید روی جز تو شد غل گلو ** کل شیء ما سوی الله باطل
To behold the face of any one but Thee is (like the torture of) an iron collar for the throat: everything except God is vain.
