If desire calls you to wander among the cypress and jasmine, it is purposeful: Come!
You have not bloomed less than the rosebud; In your heart’s expansion, come into the garden!
Don’t set your sights on malodorous musk-pods, dreaming of her perfumed and knotted curls. Come out to musk-rich Khotan.
Your ego may be weaving its sensuous spell; but who is pulling the hem of your robe, saying: ‘Come in these old clothes?’
I have borne the pain of waiting for you; I have died in the path of dreaming of you.
Take one step toward me, one breath, like soul to body, come.
If desire pulls you out of this cage, O Bedil, your removal will not be a happy one until I say: ‘Come home’.
