1. I alighted my camel at the courtyard of the house
And entered its grounds as a neighbor would

2. O friend, send them away from the toil of travel
And know that you will not remain a wanderer

3. Look at the singer who appears to us
With two fingers plucking the strings

4. That is their abode, and their fire
Has been kindled to attract the revelers

5. It guides those who are lost in the darkness of night
It is guidance for the wandering and confused

6. How delightful for you, Saad, is reaching them
You have attained the dwellings of the righteous

7. So cease from journeys, you have attained your wish
And reached the monastery after much travel

8. Drink of the wine with which they welcome
The new arrival ringing the bells

9. Yearn only for the eternal, cast off all else
The strings will tremble with ecstasy

10. Join the companions in their manners
And keep their secrets well concealed

11. Make your excuse to be constantly in their love
Or else you will see me cast off all restraint

12. Let the one called "Seventy Year Old" graze
Oblivious in his stupor to the racetrack
