با تو به خرابات اگر گویم راز، بِه زان که به محراب کنم بی‏ تو نماز
ای اول و ای آخر خلقان همه تو، خواهی تو مرا بسوز و خواهی بنواز


And this I know: whether the one True Light,
Kindle to Love, or Wrath -- consume me quite,
     One Glimpse of It within the Tavern caught
Better than in the Temple lost outright.
