متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation
| روی داود از فرش تابان شده | کوهها اندر پیش نالان شده |
| The face of David shone radiant upon the earth, The mountains before him began to lament. | |
| کوه با داود گشته همرهی | هردو مطرب مست در عشق شهی |
| The mountain became a companion alongside David, Both musicians, drunk with love of the King. | |
| یا جبال اوبی امر آمده | هر دو هم آواز و هم پرده شده |
| "O mountains, echo back" — the command came, And both became harmonious in voice and in key. | |
| گفت داودا تو هجرت دیده ای | بهر من از همدمان ببریده ای |
| It said: "O David, you have known separation, For My sake you have severed yourself from companions. | |
| ای غریب فرد بی مونس شده | آتش شوق از دلت شعله زده |
| O solitary stranger, left without companion, The fire of longing has flared up from your heart. | |
| مطربان خواهی و قوال و ندیم | کوهها را پیشت آرد آن قدیم |
| You desire musicians, qawwāls, and intimate friends — The Ancient One will bring mountains before you, | |
| مطرب و قوال و سرنایی کند | که به پیشت بادپیمایی کند |
| Will make a musician, a qawwāl, a surnā-player To traverse the winds before you — | |
| تا بدانی ناله چون که را رواست | بی لب و دندان ولی را ناله هاست |
| So that you may know to whom lamentation is permitted: The walī has lamentations without lips or teeth. | |
| نغمهٔ اجزای آن صافی جسد | هر دمی در گوش حسش می رسد |
| The melody of the parts of that pure-bodied one Reaches the ear of his sense at every breath. | |
| همنشینان نشنوند او بشنود | ای خنک جان کو به غیبش بگرود |
| His companions cannot hear, but he hears — Blessed is the soul that believes in his unseen nature. | |
| بنگرد در نفس خود صد گفت و گو | همنشین او نبرده هیچ بو |
| He sees within his own breath a hundred conversations, While his companion has caught not a single scent of it. | |
| صد سؤال و صد جواب اندر دلت | می رسد از لامکان تا منزلت |
| A hundred questions and a hundred answers in your heart Arrive from the Placeless to your dwelling place. | |
| بشنوی تو نشنود زان گوشها | گر به نزدیک تو آرد گوش را |
| You hear it, but those ears do not hear it, Even if they bring their ears close beside you. | |
| گیرم ای کر خود تو آن را نشنوی | چون مثالش دیده ای چون نگروی |
| Granted, O deaf one, that you yourself do not hear it — But since you have seen its likeness, how can you not believe? | |
