خنک آن دم که نشینیم در ایوان من و تو
/xonok ān dam ke neshinim da eyvān, man o to/
به دو نقش و به دو صورت به یکی جان من و تو
/be do naghsh o, be do surat, be yeki jān, man o to/
That moment (is) joyous and blessed when we are sitting (together) in the veranda, you and I; with two forms and faces, (yet) with one soul, you and I.

داد باغ و دم مرغان بدهد آب حیات
/dād-e bāgh o, dame morghān bedahad ābe hayāt/
آن زمانی که درآییم به بستان من و تو
/ān zamāni ke dar āyim be bostān, man o to/
The gifts of the orchard and the speech of the birds will offer (us) the Water of (Eternal) Life [1](at) the moment when we come into the garden, you and I.

اختران فلک آیند به نظاره ما
/axtarān-e falak āyand be nezāre-ye mā/
مه خود را بنماییم بدیشان من و تو
/mahe xod ra benamāyim bedishān, man o to/
The stars of the (night) sky will come as our observers, (and) we will reveal the moon itself to them, you and I.
4
من و تو بی‌من و تو جمع شویم از سر ذوق
/man o to, bi man o to jam’ shavim az sare zogh/
خوش و فارغ ز خرافات پریشان من و تو
/xosh o fāregh ze xorāfāt-e parishān man o to/
You and I, devoid of "you" and "I" due to extreme joy and delight, will be united (in friendship); (we will be) happy and without concern about absurd stories and distracting nonsense you and I.
5
طوطیان فلکی جمله شکرخوار شوند
/tutiyān-e falaki jomle shekar-xār shavand/
در مقامی که بخندیم بدان سان من و تو
/dar maghāmi ke bexandim bedān-sān man o to/
All the parrots of the sky will be (happily) chewing sugar in a place where we will laugh in such a way, you and I.
6
این عجبتر که من و تو به یکی کنج این جا
/in ajabtar ke man o to be yeki konj injā/
هم در این دم به عراقیم و خراسان من و تو
/ham dar in dam be arāghim o xorāsān man o to/
This is (even) more astonishing: that you and I (are) in one corner here, (yet) in this moment we are both in `Irâq and Khorâsân, you and I.

به یکی نقش بر این خاک و بر آن نقش دگر
/be yeki naghsh bar in xāk o bar ān naghshe degar/
در بهشت ابدی و شکرستان من و تو
/dar behesht-e abadi o shekarestān man o to/
(We have) one form on this earth and another form on that (world) in everlasting Paradise and the (Home) Land of Sugar, You and I.
--From The Dîvān-e Kabir (also known as "Kolliyāt-e Shams" and "Divān-e Shams-e Tabrizi") of Jalaluddin Rumi.
