I have a puzzle, confidant I need,
I have a pain in my soul a cure I need.
If I have not seen the “Tūr” and I won't see,
In tur oh heart! Constant cup I need.
If I did not become a pure Sufi in the way of love,
From the aged traveller’s resolution a favour I need.
If the friend don't be faithful to dervish,
Heartily from Him the purity I will ask for.
Unveil your visage oh, beautiful heart ravisher,
In the darkness of night a guide I need.
Oh deeply immersed in thought! Cease thinking!
A selfless lover I need.
You are within my soul and I can’t find your visage,
You are visible upon the palm’s branch, an invisible palm’s branch I need.
Close up this book of love oh! Dervish,
I have been drowned a captain’s hand I need.
