If you seek the Chosen One’s path, free
If you wish to follow the Prophet's path sincerely,
From any aim that diverts you from his path,
Free from any purpose turning you away from it,

Be one who draws from the fruit-gatherer’s delight,
Be oblivious to the fleeting fancies of the frivolous,
In the shade of a flourishing, luxuriant garden.
Under the shade of a blissful, flourishing garden.

In the fruit-gatherer’s delight lies what is desired
The discerning, fair-minded knower of truth
By the soul of one discerning, fair-minded, and knowledgeable.
Has no craving for the frivolous man's fleeting fancies.
