Rumi's Masnavi - Hark now, stretch your legs beneath the shade of this tree of Mine in the intoxication of delight,

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
