Who am I to express my being before You,
To talk about my claiming to love You?

I am that dot that is counted as 'naught';
Who am I to lest myself on the Path?

I am too low to claim to be nothing;
Don't say, "Be discreet!" — let me declare:

"There's but one Being manifest for all eternity;
My talk of body and soul would be nothing but a fable'

I have clearly seen that idol and idolater both are He;
Why should I, then, carry on talking about the idol-breaker?

0 preacher! I don't know about religion and unbelief;
So, hush! Or else, I'll expose your secrets to all.

For years and years I have had no news of Nurbakhsh;
There's no trace of him in my memory to express any 'I'.
