qaume za gazaf dar ghurur uftadand
qaume za gazāf dar ġhurūr uftādand
qaume za pa.e hūr-o-qusūr uftādand
mā’lūm shavad chuuñ parda-hā bar dārand
kaz kū-e-tū duur duur uftādand
A race out of vanity has fallen into (sinful) pride and others have fallen into follies out of desires for Huris and Heavenly Palaces; they will know when the veil is lifted, how far from Thy lane (true destination) they had fallen.
qaume za gazaf dar ghurur uftadand
qaume za pae hur-o-qusur uftadand
ma’lum shawad chun parda-ha bar darand
kaz ku-e-tu dur dur uftadand
A race out of vanity has fallen into (sinful) pride and others have fallen into follies out of desires for Huris and Heavenly Palaces; they will know when the veil is lifted, how far from Thy lane (true destination) they had fallen.
