Once Bayazid started on a pilgrimage to Mecca. In the course of the journey he met a pilgrim from Zanj who told him: You have left God in your native place Bistam (1) and are proceeding on a pilgrimage to Mecca. Hearing this Bayazid returned to Bistan.

The Irem (Paradise garden) anticipation is her face
In which brightly colored roses bloom.
There are many birthmarks on it,
Like Zeng children in the rose hallway.
