Do thou, O Radiance of God, Husámu’ddín, drive him (such an one) away (if thou canst), for (’tis) through meeting with thee (that) his spirit has grown up in him.
ای ضیاء الحق حسام‌الدین برانش ** کز ملاقات تو بر رستست جانش
If thou unconscionably drive away the bird, his spirit, it will still circle about thy roof.
گر برانی مرغ جانش از گزاف ** هم بگرد بام تو آرد طواف
All its grain and food is on thy roof: (while) flying in the zenith, it is (still) intoxicated with (love for) thy snare.
چینه و نقلش همه بر بام تست ** پر زنان بر اوج مست دام تست
If for one moment the spirit stealthily (secretly) disbelieve in rendering thanks to thee, O (thou who art bestowing) victory and favour (upon it),
گر دمی منکر شود دزدانه روح ** در ادای شکرت ای فتح و فتوح
Love, the magistrate who exacts vengeance repeatedly, will lay the fiery cauldron (of separation) on its breast,1995
شحنه‌ی عشق مکرر کینه‌اش ** طشت آتش می‌نهد بر سینه‌اش
Saying, “Come to the Moon and leave the dust behind; Love, the King, calls thee: return with all speed!”
که بیا سوی مه و بگذر ز گرد ** شاه عشقت خواند زوتر باز گرد
I am flying ecstatically, like a pigeon, about this roof and pigeon-house.
گرد این بام و کبوترخانه من ** چون کبوتر پر زنم مستانه من
I am Love's Gabriel, and thou art my Lotus-tree; I am the sick man, and thou art (my) Jesus son of Mary.
جبرئیل عشقم و سدره‌م توی ** من سقیمم عیسی مریم توی
Let that pearl-shedding sea (of thine) break into surge: to-day ask kindly after this ailing one.
جوش ده آن بحر گوهربار را ** خوش بپرس امروز این بیمار را
When thou hast become his, the sea (of spiritual mysteries) is his, even though this is the hour of his crisis.2000
چون تو آن او شدی بحر آن اوست ** گرچه این دم نوبت بحران اوست
