Do not put me to shame

بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
The last three couplets of this poem of Rumi are a prayer of humility and hope that we should frequently recite:
کای خدا این بنده را رسوا مکن
گر بدم هم سر من پیدا مکن

O God, do not put this servant to shame:
I am wicked, yet do not divulge my secret.
تو همی‌دانی و شبهای دراز
که همی‌خواندم ترا با صد نیاز
You know, during the long nights
During which I was calling unto You with a hundred supplications

پیش خلق این را اگر خود قدر نیست
پیش تو همچون چراغ روشنیست
Despite this having no worth in the sight of people
 (Let it be) in Your sight, like a shining lamp.
