Ascend from the plague of hypocrisy and deprivation: enter the world of Life and Self-subsistence,
از وبای زرق و محرومی بر آ ** در جهان حی و قیومی در آ
So that “I see not” may become “I see” and these “I know not's” of yours may be (turned into) “I know.”
تا نمیبینم همیبینم شود ** وین ندانمهات میدانم بود
Pass beyond intoxication and be one who bestows intoxication (on others): move away from this mutability into His permanence.630
بگذر از مستی و مستیبخش باش ** زین تلون نقل کن در استواش
How long will you take pride in this intoxication? ’Tis enough: there are so many intoxicated (like you) at the top of every street.
چند نازی تو بدین مستی بس است ** بر سر هر کوی چندان مست هست
If the two worlds were filled with those whom the Friend has intoxicated, they all would be one (spirit), and that one is not despicable.
گر دو عالم پر شود سرمست یار ** جمله یک باشند و آن یک نیست خوار
This (spirit) is nowise rendered despicable by (the appearance of) multitude. Who is despicable? A body-server (sensualist) of fiery nature.
این ز بسیاری نیابد خواریی ** خوار کی بود تنپرستی ناریی
Though the world is filled with the sun's light, how should that splendour of beauteous flame be despicable?
گر جهان پر شد ز نور آفتاب ** کی بود خوار آن تف خوشالتهاب
But, notwithstanding all this, mount higher, since God's earth is spacious and delightful.635
لیک با این جمله بالاتر خرام ** چونک ارض الله واسع بود و رام
Although this intoxication is (excellent) like the white falcon, (yet) in the earth of (Divine) Transcendence there is (something) superior to it.
گرچه این مستی چو باز اشهبست ** برتر از وی در زمین قدس هست
Go, become an Isráfíl (Seraphiel) in (your) distinction (pre-eminence)— (become) an inspirer of spirituality and intoxicated and an intoxicator (of others).
رو سرافیلی شو اندر امتیاز ** در دمندهی روح و مست و مستساز
