The beauty of the heart is the lasting beauty
Its lips give to drink of the water of life.
Truly it is the water, that which pours,
And the one who drinks -- all three
Become one when your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know by reasoning.
Giving thanks for abundance
is sweeter than the abundance itself
Should one who is absorbed with the Generous One
be distracted by the gift?
Thankfulness is the soul of beneficence
abundance is but the husk,
for thankfulness brings you to the place
where the Beloved lives.
Abundance yields heedlessness;
thankfulness, alertness:
hunt for bounty with the snare of gratitude to the King.
Union with you is the source of happiness,
for those are but forms and this is reality.
Break not for a moment from your servant,
for a ship cannot sail without water.
Every time you ask me, "How are you?"
I am with tears and pale cheeks.
For the vulgar these two are tokens;
what are signs to you who are without signs?
Unspoken you hear the discourse,
unwritten you read the deed.
Without sleep you show visions.
