Nasimi

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly1 gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am both an arrow and a bow, both young and old

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am as invisible as an atom and as visible as the Sun; I am four, five and six at the same time

See the forms and expressions, but beware that I can't be expressed by words

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am the burning bush2, I am the rock going into the sky

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am as invisible as an atom and as visible as the Sun; I am four, five and six at the same time

See the forms and expressions, but beware that I can't be expressed by words

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am both an arrow and a bow, I am both young and old

I am the everlasting fortune and I can't be reflected on a mirror

Although today I go by the name of Nasimi, Hashimi, or Quarayshi

I am both an arrow and a bow, both young and old

I am the everlasting fortune

Although today I go by the name of Nasimi, Hashimi, or Quarayshi

My signs are beyond myself, I can't be traced by signs and names

I can't be contained, contained, contained, contained

I am both an arrow and a bow, both young and old

I am the everlasting fortune and I can't be reflected on a mirror

I can't be contained, contained, contained, I contained

I can't be contained, contained, contained

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I am as invisible as an atom and as visible as the Sun; I am four, five and six at the same time

See the forms and expressions, but beware that I can't be expressed by words

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am both an arrow and a bow, both young and old

I am the everlasting fortune and I can't be reflected on a mirror

Although today I go by the name of Nasimi, Hashimi, or Quarayshi

My signs are beyond myself, I can't be traced by signs and names

I can't be contained, contained, contained, contained

I am both the pearl and its shell, I give inspirations about both resurrection and its bridge3

With all these precious clothes I wear, I'm not fitted for this mundane world

I am both honey and sugar, both the Sun and the Moon

I bestow soul and spirit, but I can't be explained in terms of soul and spirit

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

Both worlds can be fitted into me, but I can't be fitted into the world

I am the unworldly gem, I can't be fitted into the universe

I can't be fitted into the world

Author's comments:

A rather liberal translation (as opposed to literal).

Note: Nasimi was a follower of Hurufism and Hurufists were incarnationists, i.e. they believed in the unity of God and mankind. That's why he uses the divine attributes for himself. He sees himself (and any other creature) a manifestation of God.
