Original content

سرخ زنبوری بر مگس عسل زور آورد تا وی را طعمه خود سازد، به زاری در آمد که با وجود این همه شهد و عسل مرا چه قدر و محل که آن را بگذاری و به من رغبت آری؟ زنبور گفت: اگر آن شهد است تو شهد را کانی و اگر آن عسل، تو سرچشمه آنی.
ای خوش آن مرد حقیقت که ز پیغام و سلام

رو بتابد به سوی مایده وصل رود
اصل چون روی نماید ز پس پرده فرع

فرع را باز گذارد به سر اصل رود

English translation

A red hornet overpowered a honeybee, intending to make it its prey. The bee cried out in lament: "With all this nectar and honey at hand, what worth or standing have I that you would forsake them and set your desire upon me?" The hornet replied: "If that is nectar, you are the mine of nectar; and if it is honey, you are its very wellspring."

Oh, happy is that man of truth who, at a mere message and greeting, Turns his face away toward the banquet of union and goes. When the Origin shows its face from behind the veil of the branch, He leaves the branch aside and journeys to the Source.
