  • تو انا رب همی‌گویی به عام  ** غافل از ماهیت این هر دو نام 
  • How should a Lord be trembling (with hope or fear) for that which is lorded over? How should one who knows ‘I’ be in bondage to body and soul?
  • رب بر مربوب کی لرزان بود  ** کی انادان بند جسم و جان بود

  • هین مکن تعجیل اول نیست شو  ** چون غروب آری بر آ از شرق ضو 
  • The heart was dumbfounded by the eternal “I”-hood: this (unreal) “I”-hood became insipid and opprobrious (in its sight).
  • از انایی ازل دل دنگ شد  ** این انایی سرد گشت و ننگ شد 
  • The spirit was made glad by that “I”-hood without “I” and sprang away from the “I”-hood of the world.
  • زان انای بی‌انا خوش گشت جان  ** شد جهان او از انایی جهان 
  • Since it has been delivered from “I,” it has now become “I”: blessings on the “I” that is without affliction; 4140

  • How should this “I” be revealed by thinking? That “I” is revealed (only) after passing away from self (faná).
