O friend, if you do good to others,
you better yourself a hundred times.
Even if you turn your face in this way,
maybe you will get to know Us.
I spread water on the ground to settle the dust
and put up decorations everywhere.
Even if I forgive your sins,
maybe you will get to know Us.
I have made you out of nothing
and put you on the throne.
I have given you a mirror so you can work for Us.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
O son of My pillar, My foundation!
O one who is asking for My help,
come, see My favors.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
Be wine to My cup.
Become a stranger to yourself.
Feel My pain.
If you stay in the same house as My suffering,
maybe you will get to know Us.
O Sultan’s son, be just.
Liberate yourself from your self.
Remember the day of death.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
The phoenix of soul flies off
just like an arrow from the bow.
You such and such, think about that.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
Fasten your ties with your faith.
Fall in Love with it.
Keep your oath.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
O one who collects gold and silver,
who falls in love with every sweet pair of lips,
come and see what real Beauty is.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
I have sown the seeds of faithfulness.
I have drawn so many wonderful pictures
and opened so many curtains.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
