O My Leaf! Hearken thou unto My Voice: Verily there is none other God but Me, the
Almighty, the All-Wise. I can well inhale from thee
the fragrance of My love and the sweet-smelling
savour wafting from the raiment of My Name, the
Most Holy, the Most Luminous. Be astir upon
God's Tree in conformity with thy pleasure and
unloose thy tongue in praise of thy Lord amidst all
mankind. Let not the things of the world grieve
thee. Cling fast unto this divine Lote-Tree from
which God hath graciously caused thee to spring
forth. I swear by My life! It behoveth the lover to be
closely joined to the loved one, and here indeed is the
Best-Beloved of the world.
