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 خُدا، این بَنْده را رُسْوا مَکُن

 

گَر بَدَم، هَم سِرِّ مَن  پِیدا مَکُن 
O God, do not disgrace this servant.
Even if I have been at fault, do not lay bare my secret.
تُو هَمی‌دانی و شَبهایِ دِراز

 

کِه هَمی‌خوانْدَم تُرا با صَد نِیاز
You know—and those long nights know as well—
how I kept calling You with a hundred pleas. 
پیشِ خَلْق این را اَگَر خُود قَدْر نِیست

 

پیشِ تُو هَمچون چِراغ رُوشَنِیست
Despite this having no worth in the sight of people
 (Let it be) in Your sight, like a shining lamp.
