  • Creaturely pardon is like a river and like a torrent: (all) the troop (of such pardons) run towards their ocean.
  • عفو خلقان هم‌چو جو و هم‌چو سیل  ** هم بدان دریای خود تازند خیل 

  • 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?

  • 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 

  • Since Thou hast intoxicated me, do not inflict a penalty: the Law does not see fit to inflict a penalty on the intoxicated.
  • چونک مستم کرده‌ای حدم مزن  ** شرع مستان را نبیند حد زدن 

  • Inflict it (only) at the time when I become sober; for indeed I shall never become sober (again).
  • چون شوم هشیار آنگاهم بزن  ** که نخواهم گشت خود هشیار من 

  • Whoso has drunk of Thy cup, O Gracious One, is for ever delivered from self consciousness and from the infliction of penalties.
  • هرکه از جام تو خورد ای ذوالمنن  ** تا ابد رست از هش و از حد زدن 

  • Their intoxication consists in a state of unconsciousness of self (faná), (in which they are) abiding for ever: he that passes away from self in love for Thee will not arise. 4205
  • خالدین فی فناء سکرهم  ** من تفانی فی هواکم لم یقم 

  • Thy grace saith to our heart, “Go, O thou who hast become in pawn to the buttermilk of My love.
  • فضل تو گوید دل ما را که رو  ** ای شده در دوغ عشق ما گرو 

  • Thou hast fallen, like a gnat, into My buttermilk: O gnat, thou art not intoxicated, thou art the wine (itself).
  • چون مگس در دوغ ما افتاده‌ای  ** تو نه‌ای مست ای مگس تو باده‌ای 

  • O gnat, the vultures become intoxicated by thee, when thou ridest on the ocean of honey.
  • کرگسان مست از تو گردند ای مگس  ** چونک بر بحر عسل رانی فرس 

  • The mountains are tipsy with thee (and dance) like motes; the point and the compass and the line are in thy hand (control).
  • کوهها چون ذره‌ها سرمست تو  ** نقطه و پرگار و خط در دست تو 

  • The torment at which they tremble is trembling at thee: every costly pearl is cheap to thee.” 4210
  • فتنه که لرزند ازو لرزان تست  ** هر گران‌قیمت گهر ارزان تست 

  • If God gave me five hundred mouths, I would sing in description (praise) of thee, O (my) soul and world;
  • گر خدا دادی مرا پانصد دهان  ** گفتمی شرح تو ای جان و جهان 

  • (But) I have (only) one mouth, and even that one is crushed with shame before thee, O knower of the mystery.
  • یک دهان دارم من آن هم منکسر  ** در خجالت از تو ای دانای سر 

  • In sooth I am not more crushed than non-existence, from the mouth of which (all) these peoples have come (forth).
  • منکسرتر خود نباشم از عدم  ** کز دهانش آمدستند این امم 

  • A hundred thousand impressions of the Unseen World are waiting to spring forth graciously and kindly from non-existence.
  • صد هزار آثار غیبی منتظر  ** کز عدم بیرون جهد با لطف و بر 

  • Because of thy urgency my head is reeling: oh, I am dead in the presence of that bounty. 4215
  • از تقاضای تو می‌گردد سرم  ** ای ببرده من به پیش آن کرم 

  • Our desire (for thee) arises from thy urgency: wherever there is a wayfarer, ’tis the pull of God (that draws him on).
  • رغبت ما از تقاضای توست  ** جذبه‌ی حقست هر جا ره‌روست 

  • Does the dust leap upward without a wind? Does a ship voyage without the sea?
  • خاک بی‌بادی به بالا بر جهد  ** کشتی بی‌بحر پا در ره نهد 

  • None (ever) died in the presence of the Water of Life: compared with thy water the Water of Life is (mere) dregs.
  • پیش آب زندگانی کس نمرد  ** پیش آبت آب حیوانست درد 

  • The Water of Life is the goal of those to whom life is dear: by water the garden is (made) verdant and smiling.
  • آب حیوان قبله‌ی جان دوستان  ** ز آب باشد سبز و خندان بوستان 

  • (But) those who quaff the cup of death are living through His love: they have torn their hearts away from life and the Water of Life. 4220
  • مرگ آشامان ز عشقش زنده‌اند  ** دل ز جان و آب جان بر کنده‌اند 

  • When the water of Thy love gave us its hand (was gained by us), the Water of Life became worthless in our sight.
  • آب عشق تو چو ما را دست داد  ** آب حیوان شد به پیش ما کساد 

  • Every soul derives freshness from the Water of Life, but Thou art the Water (Source) of the Water of Life.
  • ز آب حیوان هست هر جان را نوی  ** لیک آب آب حیوانی توی 

  • Thou didst bestow on me a (spiritual) death and a resurrection continually, that I might experience the conquering power of that bounty (of Thine).
  • هر دمی مرگی و حشری دادیم  ** تا بدیدم دست برد آن کرم 

  • This (bodily) dying became (as unformidable) to me as sleeping, from my confidence that Thou, O God, wouldst raise me from the dead.

  • If the Seven Seas become a mirage at every moment, Thou wilt take it (the water) by the ear and bring it (back), O Water (Source) of the water. 4225
  • هفت دریا هر دم ار گردد سراب  ** گوش گیری آوریش ای آب آب
