Hark! for the saints are the Isráfíls of the (present) time: from them to the dead comes life and freshness.1930
هین که اسرافیل وقت‌‌اند اولیا ** مرده را ز یشان حیات است و حیا
At their voice the soul of every dead one starts up from the body's grave in their winding sheets.
جان هر یک مرده‌‌ای از گور تن ** بر جهد ز آوازشان اندر کفن
He (that is thus awakened) says, “This voice is separate from (all other) voices: to quicken (the dead) is the work of the voice of God.
گوید این آواز ز آوازها جداست ** زنده کردن کار آواز خداست
We (had) died and were entirely decayed: the call of God came: we all arose.”
ما بمردیم و بکلی کاستیم ** بانگ حق آمد همه برخاستیم
The call of God, (whether it be) veiled or unveiled, bestows that which He bestowed on Mary from His bosom.
بانگ حق اندر حجاب و بی‌‌حجاب ** آن دهد کو داد مریم را ز جیب
O ye whom death (in your hearts) hath made naught underneath the skin, return from non-existence at the voice of the Friend!1935
ای فناتان نیست کرده زیر پوست ** باز گردید از عدم ز آواز دوست
Absolutely, indeed, that voice is from the King (God), though it be from the larynx of God's servant.
مطلق آن آواز خود از شه بود ** گر چه از حلقوم عبد الله بود
He (God) has said to him (the saint), “I am thy tongue and eye; I am thy senses and I am thy good pleasure and thy wrath.
گفته او را من زبان و چشم تو ** من حواس و من رضا و خشم تو
Go, for thou art (he of whom God saith), ‘By Me he hears and by Me he sees’: thou art the (Divine) consciousness (itself): what is the occasion (propriety) of (saying), ‘Thou art the possessor of the (Divine) consciousness’?
رو که بی‌‌یسمع و بی‌‌یبصر تویی ** سر تویی چه جای صاحب سر تویی
Since thou hast become, through bewilderment, ‘He that belongs to God,’ I am thine, for ‘God shall belong to him.’
چون شدی من کان لله از وله ** من ترا باشم که کان الله له
