مگر که پای تو بوسم دران جهان ای دوست
دگر برسم گدایی بیایم و بوسم
هزار بار بران خاک آسمان ای دوست- dar īn jahān narasīdam ba-wasl u xāk šudam
magar ki pā-yi tō bōsam dar ān jahān ay dōst
digar ba-rasm-i gadāyī biyāyam u bōsam
hazār bār bar ān xāk-i āsmān ay dōst - I did not reach union [with the beloved] in this world and became dirt;
[Having been buried and become earth,] perhaps I shall kiss your feet in that world, o friend!
What is more, I come to the station of beggars and make kisses
A thousand times upon that heavenly dirt [before your door], o friend!
- dar īn jahān narasīdam ba-wasl u xāk šudam
