خاتمہ
English title: Epilogue
You are a sword, come out of your cover, | Come out of your sheath.
تو تلوار ہے اپنی نیام سے باہر آ، باہر آ، اپنی نیام سے باہر آ۔
Remove the veil from your potentialities, | Take hold of the moon, the sun and the stars.
اپنی ممکنات سے پردہ ہٹا، چاند سورج، اور ستاروں کو مسخر کر۔
Illumine your night by-the light of faith, | Take your white hand out of the armpit.
اپنی ذات کو نور یقین سے روشن کر، اپنی آستین سے ید بیضا باہر نکال۔
He who has opened his eyes on the heart | Has sown a spark and reaped a fire.
جس نے دل پر اپنی نگاہ رکھی ، اس نے شرر بویا اور پروین (ستارہ) حاصل کیا۔
Have a spark from my innermost heart, | For my heart is as fiery as Rumi's.
میرے اندر سے اٹھتے ہوئے شرارے کو لے لے، میں رومی کی مانند گرم خون ہوں۔ (میرے اندر شرارے نکل رہے ہیں۔)
Otherwise get fire from the new Culture of the West, | Adorn your exterior and bring spiritual death on you.
اگر مجھ سے کچھ نہیں لیتا تو پھر تہذیب نو کی آتش لے لے، اور اس سے اپنا ظاہر چمکا اور اندر سے مر جا۔
