From this auspicious place, do not be alone for even a moment, O heart

Drink a sip of the wine of the soul, and for a moment, chew sugar

Inwardly, (he is) like the Universal Intellect, outwardly, like a vase of roses

At one moment, the inspiration of the command "Say!", at another, the honor of "We have bestowed"

Spiritual, joyous, unregretful imaginations

From hidden battles and feasts, from the secret of his secret, (even more) hidden

The beauties of every face are a drop from that sea

How can one be satisfied with a drop when he has dropsy (an unquenchable thirst)?

O heart, from these narrow prisons, you have a path to the open fields

Unless your foot is asleep, you think you have no foot

What hidden livelihoods are there besides this livelihood that you seek?

What breads have been baked, O soul, beyond the craft of the baker?

You close your two eyes and say, "Where is the bright day?"

The sun strikes your eyes (saying), "Here I am, open your eyes!"

They are pulling you from this side, and they are pulling you from that side

Do not go, O pure one, with pain, fly from this pain, go upwards

Whatever thought you hide within the solitude of your breast

The sign and color of the thought are evident on the face from the heart

The essence of every tree, O soul, from every seed that it drinks

Its result is evident on its branches and leaves from its drinking

If it drinks from an apple seed, apple leaves will sprout from it

If it drinks from a date seed, dates will sprout on its top

Just as the physician becomes aware of the illness from the color of the sick

The insightful one infers your religion from the color and appearance of your eye

(He) sees the state of your religion, (he) knows your affection and malice

From your color, but (he) conceals (it) and does not make you infamous

(He) looks at the letter but does not read it with his lips

(He) knows what form will arise from this carrier tomorrow

And if he speaks, he speaks with a hidden and veiled symbolism from his sight

If you have the pain of seeking, you will understand the point and the hint

And if there is no pain of seeking, consider this as explicitly said

You know the fable of others, (and) you refer (it) everywhere
