Love is the path and way of our Prophet,
We are born of love, and love is our mother.
O our Mother, hidden in our veil,
Concealed from our infidel nature.

Your love has slain the Turk and the Arab,
I am the servant of that martyr and that warrior.
Your love said, 'No one can take my life,'
Rightly did the heart say, 'Let go of this game.'

May the lover be intoxicated and disgraced all year long,
May they be mad, infatuated, and passionately in love.
With sobriety, we worry about everything,
But when intoxicated, let whatever happen, happen.

The lover, in the solitude of night, seeks the lost one,
Often the celestial bodies are misaligned.
Because the night of union is a difficult night,
Hidden from the eyes of people, from the sight of people.

When the tanbur sounds its tune,*
The heart, without head or foot, becomes a chain.
For hidden within its strings, someone's voice
Is saying, 'Come, seek me, and be my companion.'
* Tanbur is a type of long-necked lute, a traditional stringed instrument in Persian music.

O heart, beware of giving yourself over to sorrow,
Do not engage in the company of the unfamiliar in this world.
With a radish and bread, if you are content,
Like a radish, clear the path of the world for yourself.
