CONCLUDING COUPLETS About thankfulness and praise for the Glorious Lord & Sustainer, exalted be His glory & hallowed be His name with all the lights با من کدام فرق تو کردی که من کنم قربان تست جان من ای یار محسنم O my Benevolent Friend, may my life be a sacrifice for You! You have left no favour undone to me, so why should I remain defi- cient in Serving You? هر آرزو که بود بخاطر معینم All the objects and desires that I begged in secrecy And every wish that was in my heart, هر مطلب و مراد که می خواستم زغیب از جود داده همه آن مدعائی من هیچ آگهی نبود ز عشق و وفا مرا و از لطف کرده گذر خود بمسکنم You satisfied all of them with Your kindness And you graciously visited me in my home. خود ریختی مناع محبت بدامنم I had no awareness of love and fidelity. You placed this love Yourself in my apron. این خاک تیره را تو خود اکسیر کرده بود آن جمال توسه نمودست احسنم You turned this dark soil into an elixir And I was enamoured only by Your Beauty. این صیقل دلم نه بزهد و تعبد است خود کرده بلطف و عنایات روشنم The purity of my heart is not due to any abstinence or worship. Indeed, You have illumined me with Your kindness and favours.
