We have a way from this visible world to the Unseen,
For we are the companions of Religions Messenger.
Ee have a way from the house to the garden,
we are the neighbor of the cypress and jasmine.

and see a hundred blossoms.
In order to scatter them among the lovers,
we will our robes to overflowing. Behold our words!
They are the fragrance of those roses -
we are the rosebush of certainty's rose garden.
