1. My joy, O my joy, O my joy
The wine of the beloved fills the goblet

2. Rise with me, let us drink it pure
My companion, be intoxicated and awake refreshed

3. The wine of the essence has appeared and arisen
Above the meanings of the universe on the day of joy

4. None can see it but itself
Every glance at anything else is wounded

5. This is not that, nor are you that
So know the eye of this specter

6. It is the eye of all, nothing but
His eye, the eye of bounty and giving

7. Its abode is the unseen, so if you cannot
Do not leave its open door

8. Perhaps the gatekeeper will accept you
If you have a heart surrendered to him

9. One is his number, reason to us
Like beads strung together

10. So realize, ponder, and confess
That you are the individual you did not perceive

11. Unify and leave multiplicity from
Your delusion, veiling it, and wipe yourself clean

12. You are the one truth, none other
Other than you, so be content and expand

13. And enter the presence, O its presence
And embrace him and reconcile

14. How long will you be other than him? How long
In conflict? Die and rest

15. O one existence, having no
Other than names by which it does not fade

16. It appeared from him for him in
Ephemeral forms like the rainbow’s arc

17. Be for him, not for another, ever
And cleanse yourself with him and wipe yourself

18. Be an inanimate object and if you wish with him
Be a fruitful plant like the date palm

19. And if you wish, be an animal, O
Human, in the time of play

20. And gather, if you wish, sometimes, and separate
However you may be, and do not propose

21. These states do not remain for him
They are a lightning flash glimpsed by the squinter

22. He is manifested in the universe through them
Not by them drawn near in affliction

23. How miserly is one who stood by his soul and did not
Meet it when it appeared! How miserly!
