  • We, whether we be cunning (sane) or mad, are intoxicated with that Cupbearer and that cup.
  • We lay our heads (submissively) upon His writ and mandate; we give our sweet lives in pawn (to Him).
  • So long as the thought of the Friend is in our inmost hearts, (all) our work is to serve (Him) and yield up our lives.’”
  • Wheresoever the candle of tribulation hath been lighted, hundreds of thousands of loving souls are burnt.
  • Those lovers that are within the house (and nigh unto Him) are (as) moths to the candle of the face of the Friend. 2575
  • O heart, go where they are bright toward thee and are as a coat of mail to thee against afflictions,
  • And give thee a place within their souls, that they may fill thee with wine, like a cup.
  • Take thy abode within their souls: O radiant full-moon, make thy home in the sky!
  • Like Mercury, they will open the book of the heart, that they may reveal mysteries unto thee.
  • Stay beside thy kinsfolk––how art thou roaming abroad? Cleave to the perfect Moon if thou art a piece of the moon. 2580
