Whatever pearl you seek,
look for the pearl within the pearl!
-----
Don't be fooled by my beauty -
the light of my face
comes from the candle of my spirit
-----
From deep within my heart
I always catch
the scent of my Beloved
How can I help but
follow that fragrance?
-----
A poet I am not!
My verses aren't worth
a piece of bread
I don't seek praise,
I don't run from blame--
both are worthless to me.
All my skill and poetry
fit into a single cup--
Unless the wine comes from the Beloved's hand
I will not drink one sip of it!
