We bring good tidings to those
without news.
The news we bring is from Him;
we ourselves have nothing to say.
After Unity has staked Its claim,
there is a fire temple
in the realm of the heart,
with its flame still blazing.
Our retreat is renowned
the world over,
for enamored people
can be found here.
Since we know how to sacrifice our heads
and break the self,
let everyone know
that we do indeed possess an art.
In the garden of loving-kindness,
we are a barren and leafless tree.
Only through our burning
shall we bear fruit.
It was our heart’s blood
that gushed from our eyes.
Therefore, our eyes are inspiring
and keen in perception.
If Nurbakhsh is forgiven,
it is because
there is a burning fire in his heart,
which is intimate, passionate and warm.
