That (miracle) which Jesus had wrought by (pronouncing) the Name of Hú (God) was manifested to her through the name of him (Joseph).
آنچ عیسی کرده بود از نام هو ** می‌شدی پیدا ورا از نام او
When the soul has been united with God, to speak of that (God) is (to speak of) this (soul), and to speak of this (soul) is (to speak of) that (God).4040

She was empty of self and filled with love for her friend (Joseph), and (as the proverb says), “A pot drips what is in it.”

Every (other) one has in his heart a hundred objects of desire, (but) this is not the way of love and fondness.
هر یکی را هست در دل صد مراد ** این نباشد مذهب عشق و وداد
Love's sun in the day-time is the (Face of the) Beloved: the sun is as a veil over that Face.
یار آمد عشق را روز آفتاب ** آفتاب آن روی را هم‌چون نقاب
He that does not know (distinguish) the veil from the Face of the Beloved is a sun-worshipper: keep thy hand off (keep thyself aloof) from him.4045
آنک نشناسد نقاب از روی یار ** عابد الشمس است دست از وی بدار
He is both the lover's day and daily bread, He is both the lover's heart and heart-burning.
روز او و روزی عاشق هم او ** دل همو دلسوزی عاشق هم او
(God's) fishes receive directly from the Essence of the Water their bread and water and clothes and drugs and sleep.
ماهیان را نقد شد از عین آب ** نان و آب و جامه و دارو و خواب
He (the lover) is like a child getting milk from the breast: he knows nothing in the two worlds except the milk.
هم‌چو طفلست او ز پستان شیرگیر ** او نداند در دو عالم غیر شیر
