دل که گر هفصد چو این هفت آسمان ** اندرو آید شود یاوه و نهان
The Heart into which if seven hundred (heavens) like these Seven Heavens should enter, they would be lost and hidden (from view).
این چنین دل ریزهها را دل مگو ** سبزوار اندر ابوبکری بجو

هر که اندر شش جهت دارد مقر ** نکندش بیواسطهی او حق نظر 875
Whosoever hath his dwelling-place in (the world of) six directions God doth not look upon him except through the mediation of him (the owner of the Heart).

بیازو ندهد کسی را حق نوال ** شمهای گفتم من از صاحبوصال
Without him God does not bestow bounty on any one. I have told (only) one sample of (the sublimity of) the possessor of union (with God).

The unitedness of the Universal Sea (of Bounty) with his palm is unqualified and unconditional and perfect.
اتصالی که نگنجد در کلام ** گفتنش تکلیف باشد والسلام 880
A unitedness that is not containable in words—to speak of it were a vain task, so farewell.

O rich man, (if) thou bring a hundred sacks of gold, God will say, “Bring the Heart, O thou that art bent (in devotion).
