Persian
بدر در پیشِ رخت شرمنده است
بلکه خورشیدِ جهان هم بنده است
چشمِ ما هرگز بغیر از حق ندید
ای خوشا چشمی که حق بیننده است
ما نمی لافیم از زهد و ریا
گر گنه گاریم حق بخشنده است
دیگری را از کجا آریم ما
شور در عالم یکی افگنده است
حرفِ غیر از حق نیاید هیچ گاه
بر لبِ گویا که حق بخشنده است
English Translation
Before Your face, the full moon is embarrassed.
Rather, the sun of the universe too is a slave.
Our eyes witness nothing but the Truth-Divine.
Oh, fortunate is the eye that beholds the Divine.
Neither do we flaunt piety nor do we indulge in hypocrisy.
If we are sinners, the Divine is the forgiver.
From where would we bring another?
The world reverberates with echoes of Oneness.
Nothing is ever uttered except Truth-Divine.
By the lips of Goya, as the Divine is the forgiver.
