بخش 4 - به آن قوم از تو می‌خواهم گشادی

I wish for help from You for a people whose religious lawyers lack certitude and knowledge;

I have seen many unworthy events, would that I had not been!

How long you look so wrathfully at me? how long those idols of now and here?

how long the progeny of Abraham be faithful to Nimrod’s association in this idol temple?

Will the old song return? Will another breeze arrive from the Hijaz?

Translation: Mustansir Mir

The time of this faqir has come – Will there be another who knows all secrets?

Translation: Mustansir Mir

If that knower of secret comes, bestow on him heart‐melting voice;

the heart of a people is purified only by a prophet or a singing sage.

My asset: a heart sympathetic to pain, my lot: an unending and unremitting cry;

a tulip can better adorn my grave: it is silent and has a voice of blood.
