Don’t go on any path
other than the path to God;
with the pain of love, don’t approach anyone
who is not acquainted with pain.
Do not remain bound
by your ancestors’ idol-worship —
become a disciple of God
and do not obey your own passion.
There are many traps
set on your path —
Beware of becoming bewitched by the bait
and don’t go without a guide.
Your lusts will take you
to the path of the carnal self —
don’t enter the path of God’s friends
without the aid of love.
The claim, “I am” can be heard
in every corner of the world —
seek help from God
and don’t go chasing every call.
Go without misgivings where there is selflessness,
helplessness and self-effacement.
Don’t go to the assembly
of “I” and “you.”
Listen to Nurbakhsh and enter the banquet of love
with sincerity and purity.
Don’t go to the assembly
of the pretentious.
