By his grace our beauty is beautiful;
the whole world thirsts, and we are the clear water.
We are people of perfection, and every breath we take
brings a hundred kinds of greeting to those who seek it too.
Explanation: 'Clear water' works as an image of what satisfies the world's spiritual thirst. 'People of perfection' points to those who have reached spiritual completeness through divine grace.

ما را ز عنایتش جمیلست جمال
عالم همه تشنه اند و ما آب زلال
ما اهل کمالیم وز ما هر نفسی
صدگونه تحیتست بر اهل کمال
