M1:3201 — گفت من چند ارمغان جستم ترا / ارمغانی در نظر نامد مرا

This couplet marks the beginning of the guest's humble and profound reply to Joseph. When asked for his gift (armaghān), the guest is overcome with shame, not because he has brought nothing, but because he understands the impossibility of bringing anything of material value to one who embodies spiritual and worldly perfection.

The guest's search reveals a crucial insight: any object he could find—gold from a mine, water from the sea, even his own heart and soul—would be like bringing a drop to the ocean. Joseph's court is the source of all value, the 'granary' that contains every 'seed.' To offer him a physical object would be a profound misunderstanding of his nature.

This sets the stage for the guest's true gift: a mirror. The only thing worthy of Joseph's gaze is his own unparalleled beauty. The couplet thus functions as a statement of adab (spiritual courtesy) and discernment. The true lover or devotee understands that the only appropriate offering to the Divine Beloved is one that reflects the Beloved's own perfection back to Himself. The gift must be one of self-awareness, not of substance.

此节诗句出自一位旅人拜见先知优素福（Yusuf）的故事。按照习俗，优素福请他出示带来的礼物（ارمغان, armaghān）。旅人闻言，羞愧难当，因为他早已为此费尽心思。

这句诗表达了他内心的窘迫与抉择。他解释说，自己曾多方搜寻，想为优素福带来一份礼物，但思来想去，没有任何东西能配得上优素福的完美与尊贵。在接下来的诗句中，他用了一系列生动的比喻来阐明这一点：带一粒谷子去粮仓，送一滴水珠入海洋，或者把孜然带到其原产地克尔曼（Kerman），这些都是何等荒唐可笑的行为。世间万物，优素福的府库中无不齐备。

在苏菲思想中，这描绘了灵魂面对神圣之美时的状态。当人真正认识到神（在此以优素福为象征）的绝对完美与富足时，便会意识到自己所拥有的一切——无论是物质财富还是精神成就——都显得微不足道，无法作为“献礼”。这份“空手而来”的自觉，正是通往更高层次认知的第一步，即认识到唯一能献给神的，是能映照其自身完美的“空”与“无”。
