Whoever becomes nothing
will reach God —
when a wave disappears it merges
with the ocean.
Stamp out yourself and
become Him —
the drop loses its identity when it
dissolves into the sea.
The one who forgets himself
from head to toe
will have the good fortune
to complete the path.
Love’s vast ocean can be achieved
through self-effacement —
the one who has no place can reach
the ultimate destination.
Whoever becomes hidden
from the eyes of the people
will have his own truth-seeing eyes
opened by God.
Annihilate the idol of
self-worship —
only then will the Truth
be revealed to you.
Listen to Nurbakhsh with your heart
and soul —
whoever becomes nothing
will reach God.
