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).875
هر که اندر شش جهت دارد مقر ** نکندش بی‌واسطه‌ی او حق نظر
If He (God) reject (any one), He does it for his sake; and if He accept (any one), he likewise is the authority.
گر کند رد از برای او کند ** ور قبول آرد همو باشد سند
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).
بی‌ازو ندهد کسی را حق نوال ** شمه‌ای گفتم من از صاحب‌وصال
He (God) lays His gift on the palm of his hand, and from his palm dispenses it to those who are the objects of His mercy.
موهبت را بر کف دستش نهد ** وز کفش آن را به مرحومان دهد
The unitedness of the Universal Sea (of Bounty) with his palm is unqualified and unconditional and perfect.
با کفش دریای کل را اتصال ** هست بی‌چون و چگونه و بر کمال
A unitedness that is not containable in words—to speak of it were a vain task, so farewell.880
اتصالی که نگنجد در کلام ** گفتنش تکلیف باشد والسلام
O rich man, (if) thou bring a hundred sacks of gold, God will say, “Bring the Heart, O thou that art bent (in devotion).
صد جوال زر بیاری ای غنی ** حق بگوید دل بیار ای منحنی
If the Heart be pleased with thee, I am pleased; and if it be averse to thee, I am averse.
گر ز تو راضیست دل من راضیم ** ور ز تو معرض بود اعراضیم
I do not regard thee, I regard that Heart: bring it, O soul, as a gift to My door!
ننگرم در تو در آن دل بنگرم ** تحفه او را آر ای جان بر درم
According as it is in relation to thee, so am I: Paradise is under the feet of mothers.”
با تو او چونست هستم من چنان ** زیر پای مادران باشد جنان
