  • Servitude and sovereignty are known: loverhood is concealed by these two veils.
  • Would that Being had a tongue; that it might remove the veils from existent beings! 4725
  • O breath of (phenomenal) existence, whatsoever words thou mayest utter, know that thereby thou hast bound another veil upon it (the mystery).
  • That utterance and (that) state (of existence) are the bane of (spiritual) perception: to wash away blood with blood is absurd, absurd.
  • Since I am familiar with His frenzied ones, day and night I am breathing forth (the secrets of Love) in the cage (of phenomenal existence).
  • Thou art mightily drunken and senseless and distraught: yesternight on which side hast thou slept, O (my) soul?
  • Beware, beware! Take heed lest thou utter a breath! First spring up and seek a trusted friend. 4730
  • Thou art a lover and intoxicated, and thy tongue (is) loosed! —God! God! thou art (like) the camel on the water-spout!
  • When the tongue tells of His mystery and coquetry, Heaven chants (the prayer), “O Thou that art goodly in covering!”
  • What covering (can there be)? The fire is in the wool cotton whilst thou art covering it up, it is (all the) more manifest.
