سوی شهر از باغ شاخی آورند ** باغ و بستان را کجا آن جا برند3230
From the garden they bring to town (only) a branch: how should they carry thither the (whole) garden and orchard?—
خاصه باغی کاین فلک یک برگ اوست ** بلکه این مغز است وین عالم چو پوست
Especially, a Garden whereof this heaven is (but) one leaf; nay, that is the kernel, and this world) is as the husk.
بر نمیداری سوی آن باغ گام ** بوی افزون جوی و کن دفع زکام
(If) you are not stepping on (briskly) towards that Garden, seek more scent, and get rid of (your) rheum,
تا که آن بو جاذب جانت شود ** تا که آن بو نور چشمانت شود
In order that that scent may draw your soul (thither); in order that that scent may become the light of your eyes.
گفت یوسف ابن یعقوب نبی ** بهر بو ألقوا علی وجه أبی

بهر این بو گفت احمد در عظات ** دایما قرة عینی فی الصلاة3235
For this scent's sake Ahmad (Mohammed) constantly said in (his) exhortations: “In the ritual prayer is the delight of mine eye.”
پنج حس با همدگر پیوستهاند ** ز انکه این هر پنج از اصلی رستهاند
The five (spiritual) senses are linked with one another, all these five have grown (are derived) from a sublime root (source).
قوت یک قوت باقی شود ** ما بقی را هر یکی ساقی شود
The strength of one becomes the strength of the rest: each one becomes a cupbearer to the rest.
دیدن دیده فزاید عشق را ** عشق در دیده فزاید صدق را
Seeing with the eye increases love; love increases penetration in the eye.
صدق بیداری هر حس میشود ** حسها را ذوق مونس میشود
Penetration (of sight) becomes the (means of) awakening (stimulating) every sense, (so that) perception (of the spiritual) becomes familiar to (all) the senses.
