      هر کرا حکم تو راند ز سراپرده حال
      نه ز تقوی بودش بهره نه از مولایی
      har ki-rā hukm-i tō rānd zi sarāparda-yi hāl
      na zi taqwā buwadaš bahra na az mawlāyī
      Whoever Your decree has driven away from the pavilion of mystical states
      Shall find no profit from piety nor from lordship.
