Lyric by Molana Rumi, 13th century Persian sufi poet and scholar 
Music and song by Mohsen Chavoshi, (the main song is in Persian  with some beautiful Arabic background song.) 
Footage: Beautiful Turkish whirling Dervishes spiritual dance 

My lame translation of parts of the lyric: 

"He's my life, don't keep beating him 
He's mine, don't keep running him away
He's my water; he's my bread 
His garden of hope has no rival 
His garden and his paradise 
The redness of his apples; the green of his willows 
He's connected; he's in equilibrium
He's the heart's candle; bring him up to the forefront
He comes a commoner, turn him into a noble   
He comes raw, "cook" [spiritually mature] him
If he drinks the wine [of Divinity], he falls into silence" 
  
جان منست او هی مزنیدش
آن منست او هی مبریدش
آب منست او نان منست او
مثل ندارد باغ امیدش
باغ و جنانش آب روانش
سرخی سیبش سبزی بیدش
متصلست او معتدلست او
شمع دلست او پیش کشیدش
هر که ز غوغا وز سر سودا
سر کشد این جا سر ببریدش
هر که ز صهبا آرد صفرا
کاسه سکبا پیش نهیدش
عام بیاید خاص کنیدش
خام بیاید هم بپزیدش
نک شه هادی زان سوی وادی
جانب شادی داد نویدش
داد زکاتی آب حیاتی
شاخ نباتی تا به مزیدش
باده چو خورد او خامش کرد او
زحمت برد او تا طلبیدش
