1490-1499

  • این زمین و سختیان پرده‌ست و بس  ** اصل روزی از خدا دان هر نفس  1490
  • This soil (that produces crops) and (this) morocco are only a veil (secondary cause): know that at every moment the (real) source of livelihood is in God.

  • چون بکاری در زمین اصل کار  ** تا بروید هر یکی را صد هزار 
  • When you sow, sow in the soil of the Origin, that for every single (seed) a hundred thousand (blessings) may grow.

  • گیرم اکنون تخم را گر کاشتی  ** در زمینی که سبب پنداشتی 
  • If just now (recently) you have sown seed, (as) I will suppose, in a soil which you thought (would be) a means (of producing crops)—

  • چون دو سه سال آن نروید چون کنی  ** جز که در لابه و دعا کف در زنی 
  • When it (the seed) does not grow during two or three years, how can you do aught but put your hand (to your head) in supplication and prayer?

  • دست بر سر می‌زنی پیش اله  ** دست و سر بر دادن رزقش گواه 
  • You will beat your hand on your head in the presence of God: (your) hand and head bear witness to His giving sustenance;

  • تا بدانی اصل اصل رزق اوست  ** تا همو را جوید آنک رزق‌جوست  1495
  • So that you may know that He is the Source of the source of (all) sustenance, and that the seeker of sustenance may seek only Him.

  • رزق از وی جو مجو از زید و عمرو  ** مستی از وی جو مجو از بنگ و خمر 
  • Seek sustenance from Him, do not seek it from Zayd and ‘Amr: seek intoxication from Him, do not seek it from beng and wine.

  • توانگری زو خو نه از گنج و مال  ** نصرت از وی خواه نه از عم و خال 
  • Desire wealth from Him, not from treasure and possessions: desire aid from Him, not from paternal and maternal uncles.

  • عاقبت زینها بخواهی ماندن  ** هین کرا خواهی در آن دم خواندن 
  • At the last you will be left without (all) these things: hark, unto whom will you call then?

  • این دم او را خوان و باقی را بمان  ** تا تو باشی وارث ملک جهان 
  • Call unto Him now, and leave (all) the rest, that you may inherit the kingdom of the world.
