O you who have made the sting sweet, make the selfless one one with himself,

Make the selfless one one with himself, give something to the dervish.

Bestow honor on the lovers, illuminate the horizons,

Apply the antidote to the poison, give something to the dervish.

With your moon-like face, with your kindness for the humble,

Make us your companions, give something to the dervish.

When you display the moon's radiance and make us aware of love,

What do you make us accompany, give something to the dervish.

What is the sign of a dervish? A radiant soul and tongue,

Not dragging a patched cloak, give something to the dervish.

You are both Adam and that breath, you are both Jesus and Mary,

You are both the secret and the confidant, give something to the dervish.

The bitter becomes sweet from you, infidelity becomes like religion from you,

The thorn becomes a sweet-smelling rose from you, give something to the dervish.

My soul and my beloved, my infidelity and my faith,

O Sultan of Sultans, give something to the dervish.

O body-worshipper, source of sorrow, do not entangle yourself in the body and do not grieve,

Do not look at the body, look at me, give something to the dervish.

Today, O candle, I will do that, I will prance in your light,

I will scatter my soul for love, give something to the dervish.

Today I will say how I will make my heart bleed entirely,

And I will set this matter aside, give something to the dervish.

Who are you who see our faults? Are you a snake or a fish?

Tell me yourself, what are you? Give something to the dervish.

Cast the soul into nothingness, for it is not fitting, O idol,

You are honored, he is honored, give something to the dervish.
