Leave this topic, O father: New Year's Day is come: the creatures have had their mouths made sweet by the Creator.
زین گذر کن ای پدر نوروز شد ** خلق از خلاق خوش پدفوز شد
The spiritual Water (of Life) has returned into our river-bed, our King has returned into our street.940
باز آمد آب جان در جوی ما ** باز آمد شاه ما در کوی ما
Fortune is strutting and (proudly) trailing her skirt and beating the drums (as a signal) to break vows of repentance.
می‌خرامد بخت و دامن می‌کشد ** نوبت توبه شکستن می‌زند
Once more the flood-water has swept repentance away: the opportunity has arrived, the watchman is overcome by sleep.
توبه را بار دگر سیلاب برد ** فرصت آمد پاسبان را خواب برد
Every toper has drunk the wine and is intoxicated: to-night we will pawn all our belongings.
هر خماری مست گشت و باده خورد ** رخت را امشب گرو خواهیم کرد
From (drinking) the ruby wine of the life-increasing Spirit we are ruby within ruby within ruby.
زان شراب لعل جان جان‌فزا ** لعل اندر لعل اندر لعل ما
Once more the assembly-place has become flourishing and heart-illuminating: arise and burn rue-seed to keep off the evil eye.945
باز خرم گشت مجلس دلفروز ** خیز دفع چشم بد اسپند سوز
The cries of the joyous drunken (lovers) are coming to me: O Beloved, I want it (to continue) like this unto everlasting.
نعره‌ی مستان خوش می‌آیدم ** تا ابد جانا چنین می‌بایدم
Lo, a new moon (hilálí) has been united with a Bilál: the blows of the (scourge of) thorns have become (delightful) to him (as) roses and pomegranate-flowers.
نک هلالی با بلالی یار شد ** زخم خار او را گل و گلزار شد
(Bilál said), “If my body is (full of holes, like) a sieve from the blows of the (scourge of) thorns, (yet) my soul and body are a rose-garden of felicity.
گر ز زخم خار تن غربال شد ** جان و جسمم گلشن اقبال شد
