ای قوم به حج رفته

O you who have gone to hajj — where are you, where are you? The beloved is right here — come back, come back

Your beloved is a neighbor, wall to wall with you You wander bewildered in the desert — what are you thinking of?

If your purpose is to behold the house of the soul First polish the face of the mirror that is your own heart

Ay qawme ba haj rafta kojayed kojayed Mashooq haminjast beyayed beyayed

Mashooqe tu hamsayae dewar ba dewar Dar badeya sar gashta shoma dar che hawayed

Gar qasd shoma didane aan khanaye janast Awal rokhe ayeena ba saiqal bezad ayeed
