Are you a lover?
Oh the lover who boasts about
the love of the Lord
Why these lustful gazes upon
other than Its love?
Be estranged seeking and
knowing the world
If yearning to get the heart
acquainted with Al-Haqq
Skies hubble-bubble boiling
with the heat
Of that regret-filled moment
when you called your Rabb
The dominion of the
Paradise yours, renouncing the world
While sacrificing yourself at
the steps of the poor
One prostration enough for
approval of the Majesty
If you leave the arrogance and
divorce the Riaa
For all the blessings offer
your gratitude
Genuine thankfulness upholding
the covenant of the Lord
Ansaaria:
Likeness of a day, that night
shall turn bright
If with utter humiliation
begging like a beggar at the door of the Sobhan (Sultan)
