Persian
بس که ما را هست با تو ارتباط
از قدومِ تست در عالم نشاط
فرش کردم در قدوم راه تو
دیده و دل را که بوده در بساط
بر فقیرانِ خدا رحمی بکن!
تا درین دنیا بیابی انبساط
دایماً دل را به سوی حق بیار
تا به آسان بگذری زین پل صراط
نیست آسودہ کسی در زیر چرخ
بگذری گویا ازین کهنه رباط
English Translation
Such is our deep connection with You,
That only with Your arrival, there is exuberance in the world.
In Your pathway, I have spread out,
My eyes and my heart—the only worthy possessions I could offer.
Have some compassion for the Divine’s faqīrs!
So that you may find bliss in this world.
Direct your heart towards the Divine at all times,
So you can cross the bridge of Sirāṭ with ease.
No one is at ease under the ever-turning sky,
So Goya, just move through this worn perpetual caravanserai.
~~~
Featuring: Damanpreet Singh, Inni Kaur
