God has cooked sweetmeat for the Sufis

Who sit in circles, and the sweetmeat is in the middle

A thousand heads (full of desire) went towards the heavenly banquet

When (a portion) fell from that pot into the mouth (as) sweetmeat

A sweet clamor has fallen to the east and the west

It is like this when the king of kings gives sweetmeat

Successively, the messenger comes from the kitchen

That the angels have cooked sweetmeat in the heavens

It takes the body to the lavatory when it eats the sweetmeat

It takes the soul to the Throne when the soul eats the sweetmeat

Around the pot of the heart, O soul, circle like a ladle with your head

So that, like a ladle, you may fill your mouth with that sweetmeat

The heart that, for the sake of sweetmeat, burned black like a pot

Generosity it would be if (he) would bestow a portion of bread (and) sweetmeat

Be silent, for if the Truth does not tell him to give

Not only will he not give bread, but also a hundred measures of sweetmeat
