When the pure (holy) Name comes into the mouth, neither impurity remains nor (any) sorrows.
چون در آید نام پاک اندر دهان ** نه پلیدی ماند و نه اندهان
Showing that the supplicant's invocation of God is essentially the same thing as God's response to him.
بیان آنک الله گفتن نیازمند عین لبیک گفتن حق است
One night a certain man was crying “Allah!” till his lips were growing sweet with praise of Him.
آن یکی الله می‌گفتی شبی ** تا که شیرین می‌شد از ذکرش لبی
The Devil said, “Prithee, O garrulous one, where is the (response) ‘Here am I’ to all this ‘Allah’?190
گفت شیطان آخر ای بسیارگو ** این همه الله را لبیک کو
Not a single response is coming from the Throne: how long will you cry ‘Allah’ with grim face?”
می‌نیاید یک جواب از پیش تخت ** چند الله می‌زنی با روی سخت
He became broken-hearted and laid down his head (to sleep): in a dream he saw Khadir amidst the verdure.
او شکسته‌دل شد و بنهاد سر ** دید در خواب او خضر را در خضر
He (Khadir) said, “Hark, you have held back from praising God: how is it that you repent of having called unto Him?”
گفت هین از ذکر چون وا مانده‌ای ** چون پشیمانی از آن کش خوانده‌ای
He said, “No ‘Here am I’ is coming to me in response, hence I fear that I may be (a reprobate who is) driven away from the Door.”
گفت لبیکم نمی‌آید جواب ** زان همی‌ترسم که باشم رد باب
He (Khadir) said, “(God saith), That ‘Allah’ of thine is My ‘Here am I,’ and that supplication and grief and ardour of thine is My messenger (to thee).195
گفت آن الله تو لبیک ماست ** و آن نیاز و درد و سوزت پیک ماست
Thy shifts and attempts to find a means (of gaining access to Me) were (in reality) My drawing (thee towards Me), and released thy feet (from the bonds of worldliness).
حیله‌ها و چاره‌جوییهای تو ** جذب ما بود و گشاد این پای تو
Thy fear and love are the noose to catch My favour: beneath every ‘O Lord’ (of thine) is many a ‘Here am I’ (from Me).”
ترس و عشق تو کمند لطف ماست ** زیر هر یا رب تو لبیکهاست
