  • Without surmise or doubt, (it is) God (who) hath sent all produce and fruits from the Unseen.
  • دخلها و میوه‌ها جمله ز غیب  ** حق فرستادست بی‌تخمین و ریب 

  • If you expend something in the place where the produce comes, ’tis the gateway to profit: you will obtain a (great) profit (thereby).
  • در محل دخل اگر خرجی کنی  ** درگه سودست سودی بر زنی 

  • The Turk sows the major part of the produce again in the field, because it (the sown field) is the source of the fruits (crops).
  • ترک اغلب دخل را در کشت‌زار  ** باز کارد که ویست اصل ثمار 

  • He sows most of it and consumes (only) a little, for he has no doubt of its growing. 1485
  • بیشتر کارد خورد زان اندکی  ** که ندارد در بروییدن شکی 

  • The Turk shakes (moves to and fro) his hand in sowing, because that (former) crop of his has been produced from the same soil.

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

  • 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)—
  • گیرم اکنون تخم را گر کاشتی  ** در زمینی که سبب پنداشتی 

  • 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?
  • چون دو سه سال آن نروید چون کنی  ** جز که در لابه و دعا کف در زنی 

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

  • 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. 1495
  • تا بدانی اصل اصل رزق اوست  ** تا همو را جوید آنک رزق‌جوست 

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

  • Desire wealth from Him, not from treasure and possessions: desire aid from Him, not from paternal and maternal uncles.

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