KHwahi na-rasad pa-e-tu hargiz bar sang
ḳhvāhī na-rasad pā-e-tu hargiz bar sañg
ba-guzar za ḳhudī ma-kun dar iiñ raah darañg
paivasta judā.ī ba-kun az ḳhvāhish-e-dil
bā-nafs-e-sitam-gāra-e-kHud baash ba-jañg
If you wish that you should not stumble against a stone,
Give up vanity and do not move In its path.
Don’t submit yourself to the wishes of the heart,
And be ever at war with the treacherous ‘self’.
KHwahi na-rasad pa-e-tu hargiz bar sang

If you wish that you should not stumble against a stone,
Give up vanity and do not move In its path.
Don’t submit yourself to the wishes of the heart,
And be ever at war with the treacherous ‘self’.
