  • Every night from these individual hearts the pardons come to Thee, O King, like pigeons.
  • عفوها هر شب ازین دل‌پاره‌ها  ** چون کبوتر سوی تو آید شها 

  • At the hour of dawn Thou causest them to fly away again, and imprisonest them in these bodies till nightfall.
  • بازشان وقت سحر پران کنی  ** تا به شب محبوس این ابدان کنی 

  • Once more, at eventide, flapping their wings they fly off in passionate longing for that palace and roof.
  • پر زنان بار دگر در وقت شام  ** می‌پرند از عشق آن ایوان و بام 

  • In order that they may snap the thread that unites them with the body, they come before Thee, for by Thee they are endowed with fortune— 4180
  • تا که از تن تار وصلت بسکلند  ** پیش تو آیند کز تو مقبلند 

  • Flapping their wings, secure from falling back headlong, (soaring) in the (spiritual) air and saying, “Verily unto Him we are returning.”
  • پر زنان آمن ز رجع سرنگون  ** در هوا که انا الیه راجعون 

  • From that Bounty comes the call, “Come! After that returning (unto Me) desire and anxiety are no more.
  • بانگ می‌آید تعالوا زان کرم  ** بعد از آن رجعت نماند از حرص و غم 

  • As exiles in the world ye suffered many indignities: ye will have learned to value Me, O nobles.
  • بس غریبیها کشیدیت از جهان  ** قدر من دانسته باشید ای مهان 

  • Hark now, stretch your legs beneath the shade of this tree of Mine in the intoxication of delight,
  • زیر سایه‌ی این درختم مست ناز  ** هین بیندازید پاها را دراز 

  • (Stretch) your legs, (which are) fatigued by (travel on) the Way of Religion, resting for ever on the bosoms and hands of the houris, 4185
  • پایهای پر عنا از راه دین  ** بر کنار و دست حوران خالدین 

  • (While) the houris amorously and fondly say, ‘These Súfís have returned from their travels.
  • حوریان گشته مغمز مهربان  ** کز سفر باز آمدند این صوفیان 

  • The Súfís pure as the light of the sun, who for a long time had fallen into (the world of) earth and filth,
  • صوفیان صافیان چون نور خور  ** مدتی افتاده بر خاک و قذر 

  • Have (now) come back stainless and undefiled, as the sunlight to the lofty orb (of the sun).’”
  • بی‌اثر پاک از قذر باز آمدند  ** هم‌چو نور خور سوی قرص بلند 

  • (Ayáz said), “This company of sinners likewise, O glorious (King)—all their heads have come against a wall.
  • این گروه مجرمان هم ای مجید  ** جمله سرهاشان به دیواری رسید 

  • They have become aware of their fault and sin, although they were defeated by the King's two dice. 4190
  • بر خطا و جرم خود واقف شدند  ** گرچه مات کعبتین شه بدند 

  • Now they turn their faces towards thee, uttering cries of lamentation. O thou whose clemency is making way for sinners,
  • رو به تو کردند اکنون اه‌کنان  ** ای که لطفت مجرمان را ره‌کنان 

  • Speedily grant the defiled ones admission into the Euphrates of (thy) pardon and the fountain (which is) a (cool) washing-place,
  • راه ده آلودگان را العجل  ** در فرات عفو و عین مغتسل 

  • That they may wash themselves clean of that prolonged sin and join in prayer among the ranks of the purified—
  • تا که غسل آرند زان جرم دراز  ** در صف پاکان روند اندر نماز 

  • Among those innumerable ranks plunged in the light of ‘We are they that stand in line.’”
  • اندر آن صفها ز اندازه برون  ** غرقگان نور نحن الصافون 

  • When the discourse reached the description of this (exalted) state, at once the pen broke and the paper tore. 4195
  • چون سخن در وصف این حالت رسید  ** هم قلم بشکست و هم کاغذ درید 

  • Did any saucer measure the sea? Did a lamb ever carry off a lion?
  • بحر را پیمود هیچ اسکره‌ای  ** شیر را برداشت هرگز بره‌ای 

  • If you are veiled, go forth from enveilment, that you may behold the marvellous sovereignty (of God).
  • گر حجابستت برون رو ز احتجاب  ** تا ببینی پادشاهی عجاب 

  • Although the drunken fellows broke Thy cup, (yet) there is an excuse for him that is intoxicated by Thee.
  • گرچه بشکستند حامت قوم مست  ** آنک مست از تو بود عذریش هست 

  • Is not their intoxication with fortune and riches (the result) of Thy wine, O Thou whose actions are sweet?
  • مستی ایشان به اقبال و به مال  ** نه ز باده‌ی تست ای شیرین فعال 

  • O Emperor, they are intoxicated with Thy election (of them): pardon him that is intoxicated with Thee, O Pardoner! 4200
  • ای شهنشه مست تخصیص توند  ** عفو کن از مست خود ای عفومند 

  • The delight of being elected (singled out) by Thee at the moment of Thy addressing them has an effect that is not produced by a hundred jars of wine.
  • لذت تخصیص تو وقت خطاب  ** آن کند که ناید از صد خم شراب
