As long as you remain a prisoner of yourself,
you will be a drop, not the Ocean.
Remove the veil of self, and you’ll see that
you are the same water.
People’s acceptance has driven you
away from God.
Not until you’ve been completely disgraced
will you be allowed to enter the tavern of ruin.
If you truly desire Him,
don’t follow your own desires.
You cannot exist for Him
if you exist for yourself.
Seek your God, for life
is passing you by.
You’re still worshiping
your ancestors’ idols.
Stop pursuing your own wishes
if you want union with Him.
What is the gain when every moment
you are attached to a different desire?
Only after having attained fana
will you attain baqa.
To affirm God
you must first negate your self.
Like Nurbakhsh, throw yourself
into the ocean of fana,
Then witness with the eye of the Ocean
that you are indeed that very Ocean.
