1. Turn it pure for us, and leave mixing it from us
For we are people who do not see mixing since we existed

2. We knew all existence through it, and we have not stopped
Until we denied through it all knowledge

3. It is the wine, it was not known for its generosity
Neither exalted by rest, nor known to bring people together

4. Sing for us, for time is good through its name
For we have traveled to it, leaving us from us

5. For it every spirit that knows the covenant of its covenant
And in every ignorant heart a meaning other than the proper

6. A resplendent cloak that covers beautiful bodies
And in everything delicate some of its gentleness has meaning

7. We were present and absent at the cycles of its cups
And we returned as if we neither attended nor were absent

8. And it showed us in everything a sign
And it hid only from us, from us

9. So perceptions cannot express its essence
But it resorted to its gentle niceties

10. I advise you, seek only the door of its tavern
For whoever found the Highest does not seek the Lowest

11. Our barriers from it are the fortunes of our souls
So if you cut off from us to our God, we would connect

12. It manifested humbly and hid in appearances
So it manifested but did not enrich, and faded but did not ripen

13. And existence is only an appearance of its beauty
It showed us in everything that appeared beautiful

14. For it the pure antiquity which it was passionate about
The permanence of tomorrow that makes time vanish but does not vanish

15. It recreates and shows its action through every new thing
And everything ancient, for it has attained meaning

16. So the forefathers did not find any delicacy of its making
Throughout the lifetimes that the sons would deny

17. Remember it, stop at your limit standing
With your mind, from what confused the mind and the thoughts

18. Do you claim in what you said that you are truthful?
Gently, what gnosis said, we did not say

19. You have surely thrown what you cannot achieve
And how can it have a limit to comprise it, where?

20. Be content with the entities of existence, reflecting
On everything beautiful that fills the eye and the ear

21. For that is the essence of honor, if you sought its honor
For whoever wanted to live through it eternally will vanish

22. To it all beings incline passionately
Increase need while it enriches them not

23. For it the absolute beautiful face that we obtained
Its crime but it never commits a crime

24. And the mind is only from the gifts of its generosity
Tomorrow turned into a deity obedient to it, doubled over

25. Some people say, possessed by passion:
Yes, I am not the first with Layla to be possessed

26. I concealed through it from all the world knew
And showed to the children, while intending other than children

27. And I, as passion willed, profess unity
And if I am tired of pretending, to the blooming garden

28. The bitter wind reminds me of its meadow
And the love-torn excites me when it sings its name

29.
And no wonder I yearn, and the passionate

30. If his aiming for his goal made him pine

31. By God, my heart is not pleased with what in it
And the one in ecstasy, how sweet, and living, how delightful

32.
I agree with a people whose passion gathered them

33. Even if each of them sought a different art

34. For this one shows jealousy for the gazelle
And this one finds the intoxicated eye sweetens the branch

35.
And this one shows youthfulness with soft affection

36. And this one sees a inclination to the supple branch

37. And this one is happy with closeness
And that one has a passion, and this one shows sadness with the spearmint

38. And this one, when he obtained what he sought, flows
And this one sheds tears, it wounded his eyelids

39.
And that one is afraid of his cutting off after his union

40. And this one found security in his state and tranquility

41. And this one is comfortable with repulsion
And that is hurt by rejection from his nearness

42.
And this one, union and separation are equal to him

43. So he inclined to it, traversing easy and difficult

44. And this one sees by the sword a sign from it
So he longs, striving toward it, to strike and stab

45.
And this one sees every direction as goals

46. And this one sees a cradle atop its surface he builds

47. And the existence of this people and their aims do not harm
If we sincerely turned to it

48.
The love-torn called its name, and we were in joy

49. So we said to him, by God, the one who mentioned it, give us more

50. So he generously poured until ecstasy relaxed the caravan
And we, atop the saddles, from rapture, swayed

51.
By your life, even the wood was delighted by its minstrelsy

52. I marveled at the passion enveloping the caravan and the mounts
