Divan-e Shams  ·  sh 3137

1Thou art my King, Thou art my King
To my heart and soul faith Thou shalt bring
سلطان منی سلطان منی
و اندر دل و جان ایمان منی
2With Thy loving breath infuse me with life
Not just one single soul, my every soul Thou string.
در من بدمی من زنده شوم
یک جان چه بود صد جان منی
3Without Thee taking bread, is of poison being fed
Thou art water and bread to which with life I cling.
نان بی‌تو مرا زهرست نه نان
هم آب منی هم نان منی
4Poison if Thou willed, into elixir will turn
Thy abundant sweetness in my mouth sweetly sting.
زهر از تو مرا پازهر شود
قند و شکر ارزان منی
5My grass and orchard, and my Paradise
My herb and my tree, thy joy in me ring.
باغ و چمن و فردوس منی
سرو و سمن خندان منی
6Thou art my monarch, Thou art my moon too;
Thou art the jewel and the mine that gave it wing.
هم شاه منی هم ماه منی
هم لعل منی هم کان منی
7Silence I choose, best Thou givest the news
Thou art the reason for which I speak and sing.
خاموش شدم شرحش تو بگو
زیرا به سخن برهان منی
