O friend, if you do good to others,
you better yourself a hundred times over.
Even if you turn your face this way,
maybe you will get to know Us.
I spread water on the ground to settle the dust
and decorated everything all around.
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 gave you a mirror so you can work for us.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
O son of My pillar, of My foundation!
O one who is asking me for help,
come now, 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 with 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 flies from the bow.
You such and such, think about that.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
Fasten your ties with your true religion.
Keep your oath.
Fall in Love with your faith.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
The one who collects gold and silver
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.
II have drawn wonderful pictures
and opened so many curtains.
Maybe you will get to know Us.
