لِأَنوارِ نورِ اللَه في القَلب أَنوارُ

وَللسرّ في سرّ المُحبّين أَسرارُ

The lights of the light of God in the heart are lights,

And the secret in the secret of the lovers are secrets.

وَلمّا حَضَرنا للشّرابِ بِمجلسٍ

وَخفّ مِن عالم الغَيب أَسرارُ

And when we arrived for the drink in a gathering,

And the mysteries of the unseen world became hidden.

وَدارَت عَلَينا لِلمَعارف قَهوة

يَطوفُ بِها مِن جَوهرِ العَقلِ خمارُ

And there circulated amongst us, for wisdom, coffee,

With which circulates the fervor of reason.

فَلَمّا شَرِبناها بإِقراه فمها

أَضاءَ لَنا مِنها شُموس وَأَقمارُ

So when we drank it, kissing its cup,

It illuminated for us suns and moons.

وَكاشَفنا حَتّى رَأَيناهُ جَهرَةً

بِأَبصار صِدقٍ لا يُواريهِ أَستارُ

And we uncovered until we saw Him openly,

With sights of truth that no veils can conceal.

وَخالَفنا في سكرِنا عِندَ نَحونا

قَديمٌ عَليمٌ دائمُ العَفوِ جَبّارُ

And we differed in our intoxication when we inclined,

Ancient, All-Knowing, Ever-Forgiving, Almighty.

سَجَدنا سُجوداً حينَ قالَ تَمَتّعوا

بِرُؤيَتنا إِنّي أَنا لَكُم جارُ

We prostrated in prostration when He said "Delight

In seeing Us, I am for you all a Neighbor."
