nami-danam buland-o-past shab jae ki man budam
namī-dānam buland-o-past shab jaa.e ki man būdam
ba-shakl-e-yār har shai gasht shab jaa.e ki man būdam
Last night, in the place where I was, I didn't know any high or low, that wherever I was, everything was spinning in the form of beloved.
ba-har-sū saute-sarmad naġhma-zan dar ālam-e-hairat
jahāñ ḳhāmosh sākit vaqt shab jaa.e ki man būdam
In the state of wonder, from every direction, the voice of Sarmad was echoing. The world was silent, and time had stopped where I was last night.
che goyam hāl-e-āñ manzil namī-dānam sivā.e iiñ
tilism-e-zīst barham gasht shab jaa.e ki man būdam
What can I tell you about the state of this destination, except that I don't know anything else, that the enchantment of life was broken where I was last night.
nazar kardam ki man masjūd-o-juz-o-kul shudam vaa.iz
ba-sajda-ḳhāna-ka.aba hast shab jaa.e ki man būdam
O wise one, I am witnessing that I am the only one who exists, and I am the entire essence. The Kaaba itself is in prostration where I was last night.
ki hastam mīr-e-majlis ḳhud chuuñ andar lā-makāñ dīdam
ba-hāl-e-ḳhud che būdam mast shab jaa.e ki man būdam
When I looked inside the realm of nonexistence, I discovered that I myself was the leader of the gathering. In the past night's garden where I existed, I was intoxicated and joyful in my own state.
che zikr-e-mā-sivā andar maqām-e-lā-makāñ 'kāvish'
tajallī-hā-e-man har-samt shab jaa.e ki man būdam
Within the realm of La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), what mention can there be of any other entity? Where I was last night, there was only our own light shining brightly in every direction.
nami-danam buland-o-past shab jae ki man budam
ba-shakl-e-yar har shai gasht shab jae ki man budam
Last night, in the place where I was, I didn't know any high or low, that wherever I was, everything was spinning in the form of beloved.
ba-har-su saute-sarmad naghma-zan dar aalam-e-hairat
jahan KHamosh sakit waqt shab jae ki man budam
In the state of wonder, from every direction, the voice of Sarmad was echoing. The world was silent, and time had stopped where I was last night.

What can I tell you about the state of this destination, except that I don't know anything else, that the enchantment of life was broken where I was last night.

ki hastam mir-e-majlis KHud chun andar la-makan didam
ba-haal-e-KHud che budam mast shab jae ki man budam

tajalli-ha-e-man har-samt shab jae ki man budam
Within the realm of La ilaha illallah (There is no god but Allah), what mention can there be of any other entity? Where I was last night, there was only our own light shining brightly in every direction.
