Then from that daily provision there appeared in me a (gift of) speech: (the spiritual) savour of my words was transporting (the people's) minds.
گفتم این فتنه‌ست ای رب جهان ** بخششی ده از همه خلقان نهان
I said, ‘This is a temptation: O Lord of the world, bestow (on me) a gift hidden from all (Thy) creatures!’
شد سخن از من دل خوش یافتم ** چون انار از ذوق می‌بشکافتم685
Speech departed from (forsook) me; I gained a joyous heart: I was bursting with rapture, like the pomegranate;
گفتم ار چیزی نباشد در بهشت ** غیر این شادی که دارم در سرشت
I said, ‘If there be naught in Paradise (for me) but this delight which I have within my nature,
هیچ نعمت آرزو ناید دگر ** زین نپردازم به حور و نیشکر
No other blessing will be desired (by me): I will not be diverted from this (delight) by the houris and sugar-cane (of Paradise).’
مانده بود از کسب یک دو حبه‌ام ** دوخته در آستین جبه‌ام
Of my (former) earnings one or two small pieces (of money) had remained with me, sewn in the sleeve of my jubba.
نیت کردن او کی این زر بدهم بدان هیزم‌کش چون من روزی یافتم به کرامات مشایخ و رنجیدن آن هیزم‌کش از ضمیر و نیت او

A poor man was carrying firewood: he approached (me), weary and exhausted, from the forest.
پس بگفتم من ز روزی فارغم ** زین سپس از بهر رزقم نیست غم690
So I said (to myself), ‘I am independent of (earning) daily bread: henceforth I have no anxiety for the daily portion.
میوه‌ی مکروه بر من خوش شدست ** رزق خاصی جسم را آمد به دست
The loathed fruit has become sweet to me: a special provision for my body has come to hand.
