1. The time has come to pluck roses from the garden of loyalty,
And to spread for you the musk-scent of acceptance.

2. North and south, I have set out in loyalty,
Shaking the branches of kindness, connecting graciousness.

3. The cupbearer of affection circulates the chalice of reunion,
The pearls of intimacy spill over its brim.

4. Drink the pure wine and be constant in your fervor,
With wine and perseverance all is unveiled.

5. When you have completed the litanies of passion’s drinking,
Vanishing in ecstasy as intimacy embraces you.

6. Communing with the beloved and true in passion,
Then the rose-tinted kingdom is surely yours.

7. Visions of unveiling vanish from the eyes of creation,
Veiled by the weakness that hinders their perception.

8. Beyond the arising of things, gloom of confusion,
That mystery appears when confusion lifts.

9. Its being has a wondrous, hidden secret,
Too lofty for description to encompass.

10. Lift your thoughts to the horizons of the abode of love,
If your eyes are helped by subtlety of perception.

11. In the abode of beloveds, the heart finds repose,
Solace in seclusion, if seclusion is recalled.

12. Heal a languishing soul with the specter of a phantom,
If meaning is aided by a phantom’s help.

13. Resolve and be resolute, for the matter is assured,
And dedicate yourself, for time’s rule is a sword.

14. Oh regret of a soul that wasted its firm resolve!
How can what is lost be mourned when it cannot be regained?
