English version by Peter Lamborn Wilson and Nasrollah Pourjavady

Lord,
          whose face is this
                    reflected in spirit's mirror?
                              Such beauty painted
                                        on the inner screen--
                                                  who is he?
Each atom
          in all space
                    is filled...
                              Who transcends the galaxies,
                                        shows himself in every molecule--
                                                  who is he?
Sun
          in the costume
                    of various specks of dust
                              sparks forth various rays
                                        of light at every moment--
                                                  who is he?
Outwardly
          you appear in the meat
                    of our existence
                              but he who is hidden
                                        in soul's marrow--
                                                  who is he?
In soul's fete
          every now and again he sings
                    a new song, melodies of peace
                              touching the veils
                                        of the people of the heart--
                                                  who is he?
He who manifests himself
          upon himself
                    makes love to himself
                              in the name
                                        of lovers--
                                                  who is he?
How many times, Mo'in
          will you drag yourself and me
                    between us?
                              He, the goal of I and thou,
                                        is there -- right there!
                                                  Who is he?
