Translation
One should not see the Spectacle
with the material eye
If one wants to see Him he should open the insight's eye
His talking lip was death's message to Man��r 1
How can anybody dare to claim Someone's Love now
Close your eyes if you want taste for the Sight
The real Seeing is that one should not try to see Him2
I am the extreme Love, Thou art the extreme Beauty
One should see me or witness Thy Spectacle
The Beloved's Beauty is the creator of excuse for Love's crime
One need not create a new excuse on the Day of Judgment3
O Companion! It is not possible to close this zealous eye!
In what other manner should one try to witness Him
With what thought did Kal�m become insistent on the ��r?4
One should request for the Sight if he has the power for the Sight
Even the eyebrow's movement is unwelcome to the Sight
With the eye of the narcissus should one see Thee
The pleasures of the Longings of Love will be manifest
If one has Longing like me for a few days
