    عن ظاهر المنقولْ

    I am indeed unfettered;

    and say whatever comes to your mind.

    your words and your deeds.

  5. كَمْ يا فقيهِ مَسَّكْ

    تبقى كذا مربوطْ

    How sorely you are afflicted, O jurist!

    You remain bound like this,

  6. في قبضةِ الأوهامْ

    تقليدْ وخط الخطوطْ

    in the grip of delusions—

    blind imitation and the tracing of lines.

  7. لحلّ ذي الربطه

    وابقى خليع مبسوطْ

    To untie this knot,

    remain unfettered and at ease,

    منْ ذا الذي قبلكْ

    from the one who came before you.

    And untie the tether—your delusion—

    and drink, in your intimacy,

  11. من صرفِ رحماني

    عسى يموتْ وهمك

    of pure wine from the All-Merciful.

    Perhaps your delusion will die,

  12. وتبقى روحاني

    فالراحُ قد راقَتْ

    and you will remain spiritual.

    For the wine has grown clear

  13. في الكاسِ من أجلكْ

    إِذا صفا وْقتكْ

    in the cup, for your sake.

    When your moment becomes clear,

  14. اشربْ هنيئا لك

    ذا السرُّ رباني

    drink—may it do you good.

    This secret is divine.

  15. مُحَمْدْ وافي

    realized in God.

    in this station your root.

    فماحَلَّكْ

    And if you see yourself as a shaykh,

    then you have not been freed.
