مزرع سبز فلک دیدم و داس مه نو یادم از کشته خویش آمد و هنگام درو
I saw the green farmland of Heaven and the sickle of the new Moon; I was reminded of what I myself had sown, and the time of harvest.
گفتم ای بخت بخفتیدی و خورشید دمید گفت با این همه از سابقه نومید مشو
I said, O Fortune! You fell asleep and the Sun has risen! He said, Despite everything, do not be despondent about the past.
گر روی پاک و مجرد چو مسیحا به فلک از چراغ تو به خورشید رسد صد پرتو
If you go pure and naked like the Messiah to Heaven, from your lamp a hundred rays will reach the Sun.

يبقى ماضينا حالة من الكمال، يطمح لها الجميع سرا
قيثار أراني أبتعد كلما اقتربت
قيثار يا ألمي المقدس… وحزني الدائم … القادم من بعيد نيراني تعلو وتسأل “هل من مزيد”
