- When you plant a tree
- every leaf that grows will tell you,
- what you sow will bear fruit.
- So if you have any sense, my friend
- don't plant anything but love,
- you show your worth by what you seek.
- Water flows to those who want purity
- wash your hands of all desires and
- come to the table of Love.
- Do you want me to tell you a secret?
- The flowers attract the most beautiful lover
- with their sweet smile and scent.
- If you let God weave the verse in your poem
- people will read it forever.
- -- Translation by Azima Melita Kolin
- and Maryam Mafi
