May this paradise be a blessing to the devout ascetics, for I only desire to stand face-to-face with You.

Here, the poet draws a tender contrast between the orthodox worshipper and the passionate lover. While the pious ascetic seeks heaven as a reward for his prayers, the lover desires no gardens, rivers, or luxuries. For them, the only true paradise is the Beloved's presence—a simple, breathtaking moment of standing face to face with the one they adore.
